What are the Advantages of Queue Call Systems?

Queue calling systems shorten waiting times by optimizing throughput times and minimizing wrong assignments. This lowers the risk of stress for both: those waiting and the service being visited. Cost-effective digital signage screens entertain, inform and display advertising.

Advantages of linking with Digital Signage

Digital signage for queue call systems has several advantages. Content can be exchanged within seconds and provides waiting people with up-to-date information. The infotainment they provide significantly reduces the perceived waiting time.

Screens save Costs

Instead of expensive call systems hardware that require maintenance, less expensive screens can be used in numerous instances. By using the digital ad space for local advertising cooperations or advertising media, the new investment amortizes even faster.

Where are Queue Call Systems useful?

Queue call systems are used when it is necessary to distribute visitor flows on limited service resources. These are usually doctors' surgeries, hospitals, in public authorities and in banks. It also makes sense for retailers with products requiring intensive consultation, such as telecommunications stores or for self-service restaurants.

Medical Segment

Privacy-compliant patient call systems for medical practices and healthcare are becoming increasingly popular. Modern digital queue calling systems can coordinate scheduling and spontaneous visits in a privacy-friendly manner. There is no longer a need to call out for names. With digital screens, the patient independently informs themselves on the stay in the hospital and have in view what they are waiting for.

Retail

The Scandinavians are leading the way. There you can find paging systems at the bakery or at sausage counters. However, retailers in Europe are also using modern digital call systems with pagers or SMS. The customers use the waiting time because they can move freely without fear of losing their place.

Authorities

Digitization enables more visitor-friendly public authorities. These combine their queue call systems with online information. Citizens can find out at any time what the current waiting situation is and how long they can expect to wait.

Banks

Banks and post offices use digital call systems in a mix with infotainment and advertising for their services. Visitors become entertained and informed.

Self-service Restaurants

Wireless pagers as part of a queue call system are popular in self-service restaurants. Guests can take their drinks or appetizers to their seats and be notified by the pager when their order is ready for pickup.
