Intelligent queuing

Waiting in-line is a frustrating experience for your customers and a lost sales opportunity for you. Whether they are queuing to make a purchase, return goods or waiting for a table in one of your restaurants.

Intelligent queuing is a smarter way to work with your customers, using either in-store touch-screens or the customer’s own mobile phone to allow them to book a virtual space in the queue. Whilst they wait they can continue browsing, shopping or socialising – and then be alerted when it’s their turn.

Why you’ll love it

Reduced queuing time means more shopping time
Rather than having your customers physically restricted to standing in a queue and limited to browsing point of sale products only, intelligent queuing systems allow them to continue browsing the whole store. More browsing is likely to lead to more purchases which directly affects your bottom line.

Happy customers return
Nobody likes having to queue, and so stores that totally eliminate the need to queue are far more appealing than competing stores who are stuck in the past. Adopting intelligent queuing gives you the edge in providing the best customer experience. Happy customers return time and time again, which means they spend more money in your stores and not your competitors.

Socially distanced queuing
Being able to provide customers with a socially distanced service is more important than ever before. Intelligent queuing systems allow customers to use their own devices reducing the need for contact or proximity.

Explore more around how Intelligent Queuing is being used within museums and, in particular, by Tate Modern in London as they ready themselves to welcome back visitors post lockdown.

How it works

Customers who are ready to checkout scan a QR code using their own device
Customers are given a virtual ticket and position in the queue which they can continue to monitor
They can continue to browse or leave the store and come back when it’s their turn
Customers are alerted when it is their turn to be served and return to the checkout counter

Tech talk

Our intelligent queuing technology uses a combination of technology, selected based on your requirements. In its simplest form, a location requires nothing more than a site licence and a mobile device or tablet in order to manage the staff functions. Customers wishing to join the virtual queue do so using their own mobile phone. The mobile solution can be supplemented by dedicated in-store touchscreen devices, waiting displays and physical ticket dispensers – all linked to a central administration system.

For enterprise customers, individual stores can be linked to a single account, providing a business-wide view of operations and allowing for intelligence and analytics to be compared.

Who can benefit?

The flexibility of our intelligent queuing system means that it can be applied to almost any sector where you experience queues. We’ve seen applications within retailers, coffee shops, restaurants, car hire, garden centres, gyms and more. Across all these examples the benefit remains the same – giving your customer a much more positive experience and saving them time, whilst at the same time increasing your opportunity to make sales.
