Digital Queue Management System
Today banks are focusing on getting customers back
into their branches. Although many alternative ways of
banking are available, a large percentage of customers
still require and seek a more personalized service at
their preferred branch.
Being customer service oriented, banks frequently face
the problem of lengthy customer queues and
unpredictable waiting time, causing tension and stress
among both customers and employees which result in
efficiency decline.
Introduction
What is the Q-Manager?
The solution is a queue management system, that enables the
confident administration of queues. With the Q-Manager,
customers do not stand end to end any more. Instead of standing
in long queues, customers may sit down and might learn some
useful information concerning the services of the bank.
Q-Manager is a Digital Queue Management System that helps
banks to manage customer queues efficiently, reduce customer
waiting time, allows staff to give better customer service and
optimizes your premises.
How does it help the customer?
For Customers of the Bank
The customer comes up to the ticket dispenser, reads a range of
offered services and selects a service. Q Manage prints the ticket
with his queue number and data and time of entry.
Now the customer may wait until he will be called without bothering
himself to stand in line or not worrying about queue jumpers.
Assessment of a preliminary waiting time is also an advantage for
the customer.
How does it help the Staff?
For the Staff
While adjusting the system, each service and each counter is
identified. With services and counters adjusted in advance, each
staff member sees whether there are waiting customers.
If there are waiting customers, the staff member pushes a call key
to process the customer request.
For the Manager
The system records information and its related history on every
printed ticket. This data is useful for the managers who care about
customer convenience and the efficiency of the staff members.
The system provides reports such as:
Service wise log
Counter wise log
Customer wise log
Summary Report
How does it help the Manager?
Branch Manager can identify their VIP / VISHESH
Customers and can allocate RFID Cards to such
customers. These customers will get priority services
at the counters after using their RFID Cards at the Q
Management System.
How does it Work?
Arriving customers register themselves at the Q manager and takes a numbered ticket for the service he wants.
Ticket number is displayed on the screens in numerical order to call next customer for service.
Ticket number is displayed not only on the TFT monitors but also on large Seven Segment Displays which can be installed at each counter.
Large banks can use multiple Seven Segment Displays for better visibility.
If customers do not attend the counter when his ticket number is displayed then Q Manager automatically recalls the numbers after a specific time.
