Overview

Join the queue

Instead of standing in line, visitors add themselves to a virtual queue. They can do this online in advance, or via a self-service kiosk, NFC tag or by simply scanning a QR code at the location. They can receive confirmation on their mobile phone or a printed ticket.

Notification

If the visitor has opted for mobile notification, they will receive a message when they are near the head of the line, telling them it is time to go to the location. They will receive a second notification when it is their turn. At any time, mobile users can view their position in line and expected wait time. Queue information is also displayed on digital signage.

Arrival

On arrival at the location, they can check in using their paper ticket or via a QR code on their mobile phone. This automatically updates the real-time queue data and triggers notifications to customers who are waiting.

Benefits

Queue Management solutions increase customer satisfaction by creating a smoother and less frustrating customer experience.

  • Reduce frustration: visitors do not have to wait in line to enter the premises or be seen: they can do something else until it is their turn, so they don’t feel like they’re wasting their time. In retail, they can browse the store instead of standing in line at a deli counter.
  • Improved wait experience: in wet, cold, or hot weather, visitors do not have to stand outside but can wait in another location, such as their car or a coffee shop.
  • Reduce walkouts: eliminating long physical queues makes the business seem more efficient and reduces the likelihood that visitors will walk away.
  • Reduce no-shows: voice-based visitor call attracts the attention of visitors who are not looking at the signs and reduces missed turns. Signage can be displayed in multiple locations, so that visitors can see the current queue information even if they decide to wait elsewhere.
  • Increase sales and customer satisfaction: if the expected wait is long, visitors can do something else instead of standing in line. In retail, this often results in increased sales.
  • Increase transparency: one of the most common complaints about queues is that people do not know how long they are going to have to wait. Visitors can see at all times how long the line is, and can make a decision based on accurate information.
  • Increase loyalty: customers are more likely to return to a business if they do not have to stand in line.
  • Increase trust: being transparent about waiting times increases trust in the business.
  • Improved productivity: adjusting staffing levels based on queue sizes and waiting times allows businesses to become more efficient and serve visitors faster.
  • Accurate data: real-time and historical data on queue size, wait times, and abandonment allows managers to respond to situations as they occur and predict future demand.
