Qmatic

A Queue Management System is primarily a system that makes sure that customers get served in the right order, but according to our renewed definition of Queue Management (above) a Queue Management System is then a system that manages the customer’s waiting experience throughout their entire journey, from pre-service to post-service.

The solution can contain either or both – software and hardware that help businesses to facilitate the customer’s access to service, to plan and manage customer flow and staff, and to gather data to improve the customer experience.

Types of a queue management system

As mentioned above, a queue management system can contain both software and hardware. Below are examples of such pieces. Some of them can be used independently but the more sophisticated solutions combine the different modules into a seamless omnichannel solution.

Examples of software in a queue management system:

• Online appointment booking
• Virtual queuing via smartphone
• Staff apps to arrive and serve customers
• Customer and staff notifications
• Real-time monitoring of operations
• Customer feedback surveys
• Extensive statistics and analyses

Examples of hardware in a queue management system:

• Self-service kiosk
• Ticket printers
• Digital signage
• Display
• Media Player
• Vision and Sound

A Queue Management System enables you to practically manage customers throughout their interactions with your organization and make that journey as comfortable and smooth as possible. It also helps you understand how your customers and employees engage, providing you the insights you need to improve both the customer experience and the operational efficiency. Below are some benefits of a Queue Management System

Improve access to services with appointment scheduling

By offering customers to schedule appointments, you can estimate the expected number of customers. In the article, Appointment scheduling solution: What, how, and why, you can learn more about the benefits of appointment systems.

Decrease actual waiting time by better time management

The Queue Management System helps you identify how you can streamline the entire customer journey.

Reduce customer uncertainty with notifications and messaging

With a Queue Management System, customers can get SMS or email notifications with reminders of their appointments, information about how to prepare for their appointment and even self-check-in links. With messaging through for example digital signage, it is possible to share details such as the number of open counters, services offered, current waiting, and transaction times.

Keep customers entertained with media solutions in the waiting area

By integrating media displays with a Queue Management System you keep the waiting customer both entertained and informed, which in turn decreases their perceived waiting time.

Allow customers to wait wherever they prefer with a mobile ticket

Enable customers to get a mobile ticket instead of a physical one with your Queue Management System. This means that the customer can wait where they like and spend their time wisely which both decreases the risk of crowded lobbies and increases the customer’s waiting experience.

Enable staff planning and increase staff mobility

Gathering real-time data, the Queue Management System can facilitate the manager’s staff planning. It helps managers get a balanced and controlled waiting period and distribute staff where they are most needed.

Match the right competence to each case

A Queue Management System enables organizations to segment customers in different queues, rather than entering all customers in the same line.

Improve personalization of service delivery

A Queue Management System offers several opportunities for improved personalization.

Identify bottlenecks and improve

By gathering data throughout the customer journey, such as service times and waiting times, you can get a complete overview of your current service performance.

All organizations benefit from satisfied customers. But some industries stand out more than others. Qmatic Customer Journey Management (CJM) simplify contacts, reduce friction, and save time and money, provides solutions and insights designed for unique industry environments, focusing on four main industry sectors: Healthcare, Public, Financial, and Retail.

Queue Management Systems in the public sector

There is an ongoing digital transformation in the public sector where more and more government offices implement a modern and digital Queue Management Solution. The Covid-19 pandemic has increased the speed of this transformation and many government offices have looked for a solution that also ensures a safe customer journey and staff work environment. A Queue Management System can enable a safe queueing experience while providing service providers with conditions to deliver high-quality services and improve customers’ satisfaction.

Government offices face many challenges today. Skill shortage, efficiency targets, and limited budgets are a few examples. With a queue management system, you can get the most value from your resources without having too many employees on hand.

On the page Queuing solutions for government offices, you can learn more about the benefits of Queue Management Systems in public services & government offices.

Queue Management Systems in hospitals

Everyday healthcare facilities get visited by generally worried patients, stressed, and sometimes even in pain. If you want to improve the patient experience, you need to create a comfortable environment.

Most healthcare facilities are under pressure to provide high-quality service while coping with limited resources. These circumstances usually create a very stressful experience for both patients and staff alike.

To create a comfortable environment for both patients and staff, you need to streamline your operation. In the article Queue Management Systems in hospitals, you can read more about how Queue Management Systems can help you improve your healthcare facility; in the end, you can find some results that previous hospitals have achieved.

Queue Management Systems in retail

Retail customers shop online, on mobile, and in-store. As customers’ expectations increase, you, as a retailer, need to create a seamless and flawless customer journey.

By implementing a Queue Management System, you can get the insights to understand, anticipate, and meet the customer’s expectations.

Within a Queue Management System, many features help retailers improve customer experience; here are some examples:

Location-based mobile app

Make it easy for customers to find your store with a location-based mobile app, and make it easy for them to purchase online and pick up their purchase at your store.

Mobile queueing

Let customers check-in via their mobile phone and make it easier for them to browse your store.

SMS and digital signage

Reduce actual and perceived waiting times by keeping the customer updated via SMS or digital signage.

On the page Retail Industry Solutions, you can read more about managing customers’ wait time in retail.

Queue Management Systems in banks

The service quality and customer experience are crucial for banks today. If you do not live up to customer expectations, it’s easier than ever before for them to shift bank.

You need to increase the perception of your bank. However, striving for an instant service experience often requires many employees and can lead to unsustainable costs in the long run.

By implementing a Queue Management System, banks can improve the efficiency and quality of service without increasing the cost too much. In the article, Queue Management Systems in banks, you can read more about how banks can benefit from replacing traditional analogue queue systems, with new modern Queue Management Systems.

It’s important to understand that a Queue Management System is not about eliminating waiting times. Striving for an instant service experience is very expensive as it requires too many employees on hand. Instead, a queue management system is about managing the Customers’ Waiting Experience.

Watch the Video to see how a Queue Management System can work:

As a service provider you can choose between less and more complex Queue Management Systems. In this chapter we have highlighted some main things to consider when choosing a supplier and a system. You can use these features to compare different options and discover the system that best suits your needs.

What to consider when choosing a Queue Management System supplier

The key criteria when selecting a Queue Management System supplier:

• Proven track record
• Experience of Queue Management in your industry
• Understanding your specific visitors’ issues and experience
• The ability to engage all stakeholders
• Project management expertise
• Flexible pricing or total cost of ownership to accommodate your budget and needs, now and in the future
• Integration support

What to consider when choosing a Queue Management System

Below are some important factors to consider when choosing a Queue Management System:

Security

The solution should ensure that customer data is secured and protected and that there is functionality to assist with GDPR compliance.

Scalability

Should the solution be able to accommodate growing demands when your organization or service grows, or when customers’ demands expand?

Offer omnichannel solutions

A wide range of demography may require services in physical and/or digital environments, so consider an omnichannel solution that can cater to the requirements through various channels, without any gaps.

Integrated, from pre-arrival through post-service

To improve your customer journey, you need to consider all customer touch points. Ensure your system integrates physical and digital channels seamlessly.  

Collection of data at all touch points

Get the insights needed to improve and streamline your service performance by investing in a system that gather data from all customer touch points.

Ability to match customer needs with employee skills

A more streamlined process that connects customers to the right employee is the key to handle higher demands more efficiently.

Allows third party integration

In the need of customization, the system needs to allow additional third-party features to be built on top if required.

Ability to handle changes without disrupting the flow

A Queue Management System should be able to handle both appointment and walk-in visitors and adapt if someone cancels or comes late.

Easy to configure and possible to personalize the user interface

Organizations are not all the same, and neither are their customers, so the solution should be configurable to manage all the different requirements.

“In the article, Important factors to consider when choosing a queue management system, you can learn more about important things to consider when investing in a Queue Management System. ”

Queue Management System price

The price of a Queue Management System really depends on what the requirements are. It ranges from a simple manual ticketing dispenser all the way to a fully flexible customer journey management solution integrated with the rest of the business.

The supplier installs and configures the system, but there are some steps you need to think about throughout the implementation phase. Below are a few examples of what we recommend organizations to consider when implementing a Queue Management System.

Identify your business needs

The required functions of a Queue Management System vary among organizations, industries, and countries. Therefore, you’ll need to thoroughly identify your needs together with the supplier as the first step.

As stated in the article, How to reduce customer wait times with automation, Steve Jobs once said, “You start with the customer and work backwards with the technology.” When identifying your needs, start with creating a list of all the services you provide. Make sure you separate between the services you provide and the services you perform. It’s a big difference.

Walk the customer journey yourself. By actually going through each customer touch point, you can easily detect gaps and breaks in your customer journey.

Set clear objectives

To ensure high quality, cost savings, and effective timings during the implementation phase, we recommend that organizations mutually agree on objectives and expectations and plan the implementation together with the Queue Management System supplier.

In the article, How to reduce customer wait times with automation, the author define the service level as the maximum time that it is okay for the customer to wait in a queue. One important objective when implementing a Queue Management System is to define this acceptable wait time for each queue. Then you can configure the system to call the customer closest to the end of his/her service level.

Test the system before launch

After the supplier has configured the software and installed the hardware on your premise, you must get time to test and verify that the solution meets your objectives and expectations.

Develop the right skill sets

To maximize the value of the Queue Management System, your employees must develop the right skill sets. We recommend that you require proper training from your supplier.

Evaluate and refine

Make sure you continually evaluate your results from the Queue Management System. Does it solve your needs and meet your objectives? Have a close dialogue with your supplier to refine if needed.

On the page, a world-class client success program, you can read more about how we help our customers design, develop, and implement Queue Management Systems.

One of the signs of a successful business is that people flock to it. They queue to get in or to get served. Your challenge is to make sure that the ensuing poor customer experience does not affect your success. You need to think long and hard about how and why your customers are queuing, and whether there is a better way for them to do it.

If queues are an everyday occurrence in your business, then the chances are you will have already introduced some form of Customer Journey Management, perhaps dictated by the number and layout of checkout systems or the presence or absence of ticketing and information systems. Depending on your objectives, however, the system you have in place may well not be the best one. If your priority is productivity you may want to maintain a particular queue length to ensure your staff is always working.

If your priority is customer service, you may want to do away with queues altogether, as far as is possible. To achieve your objectives, then, it helps to have a basic understanding of the different types of Customer Journey configurations you can use.

Queuing types: linear queuing virtual queuing and mobile queuing

Linear Queuing

Linear queuing is when your customers wait physically in a line. It is the oldest and most common way to manage queues and waiting, and encompasses several variations:

• Single-Queue-Single-Service-Point (SQSSP), or ‘first-in-first-out’, where the goal is to serve the customers in the order in which they arrived. This is typically found in service centres with few customers, such as coffee shops and fast-food restaurants.
• Multiple-Queue-Multiple-Service-Points (MQMSP), which offers the possibility to segment customers based on service needs. Customers who require services with longer expected service times can be separated from those with faster requirements.
• Single-Queue-Multiple-Service-Points (SQMSP), where the supply of service is distributed logically to the customer who queued first. A slow customer may affect delivery overall, but customers will always be directed to the first available counter.

Virtual Queuing

A virtual queue is invisible in the sense that your customers are identified on arrival, say by their name or social security number, but not confined to any particular waiting spot, so they don’t know what position they have in the queue relative to others. It is also a solution suitable or mobile waiting, where a customer is in the queue, but at a different location. This requires your customers to be either greeted and queued by a member of staff or entered into the queue through a ticket-printer, self-serve kiosk or mobile application. You then give them an assurance that they will be served at an appropriate time. As with linear queuing, virtual queuing encompasses several variations:

• Agents call the next customer when service to the current customer is finished. If there are several agents, customers could be called from the same queue (as in SQMSP) or from different queues based on some type of segmentation (as the MQMSP).
• Staff can pre-call the next customer before service to the current customer has actually finished. The effect is that a buffer zone with a waiting customer is created behind the currently served customer.
• The buffer zone is a common area where the next few customers to be served are pre-called, but each waiting customer is assigned to a member of staff in appropriate order only when the currently served customer at a service point is actually finished.

These variations are illustrated below:

Mobile Queuing

Mobile applications and Mobility has transformed everything about how humans act – and interact. Additional to these pictures is also the “mobile queue management” where a customer is not waiting in the physical location at all, but instead keeps their place in the queue via a mobile app or an SMS solution.

The Customer Flow Management process is central and only when this process has been fully understood is it possible to design solutions that maximize the benefits for the service provider.

It is important to realize that there is not one single process that is “optimal” for all service providers (for all businesses) but, much depends on the KPIs of each individual service provider.

The Customer Flow Management process consists of several phases including Pre-arrival, Arrival, Queuing/waiting, Serving, Post-serving and Managing (illustrated here). In fact, it is this view of the entirety of the customer service operation – and the resulting framework for making informed business decisions – that frames the boundaries of Customer Flow Management.

Customer Journey Management is a methodology that supports the development of great customer experience. Based on Customer Flow Management frames, Customer Journey Management links the service points together, helping managers understand the dynamics of the customer’s visit.

As here illustrated, understanding, and managing the customer journey is a key, it stresses the importance of planning and monitoring the customer’s entire visit, also capturing data and information at each point of contact with a member of staff or self-service point to manage operation and drive efficiency.

In short, customer journey management can link the vast amount of customer information in CRM databases to the real-time activities targeting and influencing the customers present in the service provider’s premises, as shown here:

Initially it involves mapping your current customer journey and defining an optimal one, taking into consideration how the process affects your business, customers and staff, and the direct and indirect impact it has on your key performance indicators.

Despite the rise of the Internet, the point at which customers and products or services meet is usually a physical space, whether it is a high street store, a bank or a hospital waiting room. And that is where all of an organization’s costly investment and detailed understanding often falls flat. No amount of expenditure on BI, CRM or disconnected Customer Experience Management (CEM) system can make up for a poor experience when a customer walks through your door.

When you have a customer on your premises, they are usually there for the express purpose of buying something or soliciting your services. This is often the most critical stage in your sales process and in these days of making sure that every customer receives a personalized and seamless journey it is even more important to look at the integration of the virtual and physical world.

So if you are prepared to spend on BI, CRM and CEM, it makes sense to spend on something else which will allow you to analyse in-store customer behaviour in real time. This competitive methodology is called Customer Journey Management.

Based on insights provided by using the methodology, it is possible to deliver solutions that addresses not only the customer experience, but also provides tangible means to increase sales and/or reduce operational cost.

Designing a system that provides the means for a personalized and seamless journey is a challenge. If you can incorporate a holistic approach into a wide Customer Experience Management strategy that covers all areas of your store, branch or hospital design, from doorstep to service, then you can have a major impact on your bottom line (serving your clients).

Managing queues, be it with traditional Queue Management System or mobile solution is an integral part of Customer Journey Management and compared to many other process-led business improvements, this is a measure with clear and tangible benefits. But perhaps its most important benefit is the impact it has on something which is invaluable, yet largely intangible: your customers’ experience of your brand.

Customer Experience Management is about knowing the customers so completely that its is possible to create and deliver personalized experiences that will entice them to not only remain loyal, but also to evangelize to others – and that’s the most valuable form of advertising there is.

Qmatic provides the following values in relation to Customer Experience Management

• Ensure brand consistency in the branch as well as in the integration between the virtual and physical world.
• Ensure a personalized experience in the physical space allowing for better service, marketing and sales.
• Empower customers with self-service & mobile solutions that improve satisfaction and profit margins
• Better understand customers and their in-branch experience through customer feedback features

As methodology fits within Customer Experience Management space where it helps to maximize the face-to-face opportunities and bridge the gap between the virtual and physical world.

Customer Experience Management (CEM) is a strategy that focuses on the operations and processes of a business around the needs of the individual customer.

It focuses on the “experience” part of the customer. CEM links together strategies, departments, business models and information technology to design, manage and optimize the end-to-end customer experience.

Customer Journey Management is the methodology Qmatic invented to maximize moments of engagement opportunities in the customer journey with a focus on the “in branch” experience and the integration of the branch with the online world

If you want to know more about what your business can achieve with our methodology, just let us know.

Customer Flow Management can start before the customers physically visits the shop, bank, hospital or public service centre, by implementing a method to book appointments before arrival or use mobile solutions such as smartphone apps (mobile queue management). This reduces the time spent waiting by the customer and hence has a positive impact on the customer’s service experience.

Qmatic’s mobile ticket solution enables customers to get in line before arriving at the branch. It also allows customer at the branch to select a mobile ticket, giving them the flexibility to wait where ever they desire while still being able to monitor their place in line. Anyone with a smartphone and a web browser can access the mobile ticket – there is no need to download yet another app.

For the service provider it can be a tool to control and steer the flow of customers away from peak hours to less busy parts of the day. It can also be a powerful tool that delivers the pre-visit data required for the service provider to staff more appropriately and deliver better customer service.

On arrival, customers need to be placed in an appropriate queue. Customer Flow Management stresses the possibility of segmenting the customers in different queues if appropriate, rather than entering all customers in the same queue. The most common segmentation is based on customer needs, e.g. separate queues for separate services.

Customers with more complex service requirements can then be managed separately, which reduces the risk of “blocking” other customers with a negative impact on their service experience. It also allows the service provider to match customers with the staff who have the most suitable competence to respond to their needs. This is positive both for the customers who get the best support and for the service provider that maximises the likelihood for potential cross- and up-sells.

Another possibility for segmentation is to base it on customer attractiveness. VIP customers that are considered important for the service provider could for example be positioned at the front of the queue. In a world where service roviders are struggling to build increased loyalty among their customers, this represents a very interesting opportunity.

Depending on the degree of complexity of the segmentation the queue entry point can and should be designed differently. In the very simplest case no special arrangements or at most a few barriers might be appropriate. In more complex situations various self-service terminals or even staffed greeting stations can be used to ensure customers enter the queues correctly.

From a customer perspective an important criteria to ensure a high service experience is to secure an “in process feeling”, e.g. the customers need to know and feel that they have entered the queue correctly and will be served in the appropriate time by the appropriate service person.

For the service provider the arrival and queue entry is the first opportunity to start tracking the customer on site. This requires customer identification and the creation of an initial data point. If the customer is not identified and tracked at this point the next opportunity to start tracking the customer is at service delivery.

After arrival and queue entry most customers will endure a period of waiting. A balanced and controlled waiting period is the desired optimum result of any manager.

No one wants to have a completely empty waiting area, as it would most likely mean you are overstaffed. Besides, an empty shop or service area gives an impression of abandonment and will not attract customers.

Equally, too many customers waiting is simply as off-putting.

Customer Journey Management can help managers get the balance just right by improving staff planning and by adding more flexibility to the processes. From a journey perspective this step has the greatest risk of impacting customer service experience negatively if not managed appropriately. A customer who perceives waiting as long is usually not satisfied with the service. Customer Flow Management offers two approaches to manage this.

The first is to minimize actual waiting. By choosing the most appropriate queuing principle and using available Customer Flow Management tools to plan staffing and monitor waiting in real-time the service provider can actively manage waiting time.

Another approach, which does not exclude the first, is to minimize the perceived waiting time. This can be made by engaging the customer in active waiting, e.g. fill the waiting time with activities that reduce the perceived waiting time and hence enhance the customer experience.

Imagine for example, being able to broadcast specific messages, targeted at the customers who are currently in your front office or in your shop. A service provider using Customer Flow Management in an advanced manner can identify who is currently visiting and the manager can, using targeted broadcasting, keep them informed and/or entertained while waiting, even using adverts reflecting their specific interests.

Other opportunities that both reduce the perceived waiting time and create additional value for the service provider are to:

• engage the customer in activities to prepare for the service and reduce workload for staff, e.g. by filling out forms etc.
• create opportunities for further shopping while waiting, either through strategically placed goods where the customers are waiting or by allowing the customers to move freely around the service providers premises while waiting to be served
• use media to stimulate further sales. If the service provider knows which individual customers are waiting, the media content can be adapted to target the specific needs of the customers waiting.

The queuing/waiting period finishes when the customer is called forward to be served.

The method for calling customers has a great effect on the efficiency. It is crucial that the waiting customers are made aware of both the fact that they have been called and where they should go. This can be handled with various types of visual and audio support tools.

Correctly used, experience has shown that this can increase productivity and as a result, reduce waiting time by up to 30% in environments with short and standardized service requirements. If privacy is important for the customer, which is often the case in public and healthcare institutions, service providers should consider calling customers forward anonymously based on some other identification than name (typically a number).

If the service provider chooses to identify and start tracking the customers as soon as they enter the queue, then the staff calling the customer forward can start preparations before the customer actually arrives at the service point.

For example, staff could call up the customer’s history on their screen. They can see every visit the customer has made before, who they saw and what the enquiry was about.

When the customer is being served, data on their visit can be captured and made available for real-time insight through management dashboards. It can also be stored for later use. For instance, management could use the information to view customer wait times or find out how long different transactions actually take to complete.

The manager can also have an instant overview of the service situation at one or several locations in real time. Customer Journey Management provides the ability to see details such as number of open counters, services offered, current waiting times, and number of customers seen at each counter as well as transaction times.

Alert mechanisms can give the manager the opportunity to take action if waiting times exceed pre-set limits.

After a customer has been served, staff closes the transaction and relevant data – like wait-time and transaction time – are recorded. If required, a case handling function can continue to manage the case throughout its lifetime, from the time it is created, signed over to different advisors or different departments and until the case is closed. Each step is documented and processed.

It is also possible to engage the customer in other value-adding activities like answering customer surveys. This could be done after the transaction is closed and as a result, will not affect the waiting time for other customers.

The information gained could be highly valuable for the service provider as it could reveal the customer’s perception of the service they have just received and highlight areas with improvement potential.

It could also improve the customer’s service experience if they feel that they have the opportunity to make their voice heard.

Qmatic’s Customer Journey Analysis Software provides key data points to help organizations move quickly to stay ahead of customer expectations, staff efficiently, and put offers in front of customers at just the right time.

If data from the journey process is gathered and stored then managers can, at any point in time, use that data to evaluate the current processes. Reports can be generated on employee/customer interactions, service times and customer wait times.

Operational inefficiencies can be identified and addressed through process changes or training.

Trend analysis provided by system reports help the user to manage staff rotas in line with peaks and quieter times in the service area.Customer segmentation, staff scheduling, media content, etc. can be tested, evaluated and modified based on insights from analysis of the gathered data.

Statistical reports are also useful tools for achieving and reporting on a variety of organizational targets.

For service providers with targets relat

ed to service levels rather than profits the information captured by the Customer Flow Management system can be an important tool to measure and evaluate performance.

As the system can be seamlessly connected to any number of service access points over a wide geographical area, managers can have a complete overview of their service network and it is possible to develop real-time smart business application to support the decision-making process.
