Key elements to eliminate queues in your branches and enhance the customer journey

Say Goodbye to Queues with Self-Service Kiosks

Businesses can consider installing self-service kiosks in smart self-service zones outside their branches or in public locations to serve customers 24/7 and eliminate queues. Customers can use these self-service machines to avail of a variety of services such as bill payments, account top-up, issuing cards or any other documents, and many other services.

The self-service kiosks can instantly issue physical items. For example, in telecom stores, the customer can submit the required documents and do biometric verification to issue a sim card instantly, or in banks’ branches customers can issue ATM cards or chequebooks.

Create Virtual Queues Using Mobile Appointment Booking

One way to introduce a virtual queue management system is to empower customers to book an appointment in advance using their phones to avoid queues.

Customers can reserve an appointment, receive an e-ticket and join a virtual queue using your Appointment Booking app as per their convenience. They don’t have to wait in lines anymore. Meanwhile, it also allows you to plan ahead and control branch capacity by limiting unscheduled walk-ins. This ensures a better customer experience, reduced waiting time, and more efficient service.

Your customers can also submit feedback about your services at the end of their journey through the Mobile App.

Use QR Codes for a Smart Touchless Experience

QR code scanning allows your walk-in customers to join a virtual queue. They can scan a QR code using their smartphones, select the required service, and receive a digital ticket, offering your customers a contactless experience.

Eliminate Waiting in Lines by Delivering SMS Notifications

Besides mobile appointment booking and QR Codes, you can activate SMS notifications to remind the customers of their appointments and notify them of their turn status. This can give flexibility to customers to wait anywhere instead of waiting inside the service center. For instance, they can wait in their cars and receive a notification when their turn arrives.

Streamline between pre-booked and walk in customers

A smart queue management system should consider all people situations, for instance, if customers without smartphones wish to join the queue, they can do that through token kiosks that are installed in your branch or via agent rover tablet. Besides SMS notification, your branch can be equipped with digital screens to display queue information to notify customers about their turns.
