Effectively managing customer flow is more complex than it appears. It involves guiding customers through a seamless journey from arrival to service completion while optimising queues, staff allocation, and service speed. However, many organisations still struggle with this process due to their reliance on traditional queuing systems.
Effectively managing customer flow is more complex than it appears. It involves guiding customers through a seamless journey from arrival to service completion while optimising queues, staff allocation, and service speed. However, many organisations still struggle with this process due to their reliance on traditional queuing systems.
Consider a busy hospital that still relies on a manual queuing system. A patient takes a number and waits, only to discover they are in the wrong section. They must then re-queue in the correct department, further extending their wait time. With no remote queue tracking options, patients remain on-site, contributing to overcrowding and frustration.
