Unhappy customers are most likely to never return to the business. Especially in UAE when there are so many options available for a customers they will never think twice before switching to another business. That is what makes customer satisfaction even more critical for success and long term growth.

There are so many factors that contributes to the customer happiness and customer satisfaction. Here in Dubai and all around the UAE we have witnessed that most of the medium and small sized businesses and even some large enterprises are often overlooking a lot many things or either doing them incorrectly which is costing them a lot of customers and revenue of course. One of the most important factor is the customer churn rate. Here is what customer churn rate is and how it can be reduced with the help of a queue management system:

What is Customer Churn Rate?

Customer churn rate is a simple calculation of the number of customers a business lost during a certain period of time. For service based industries usually the customer churn rate is the measurement of the number of customers or their percentage who have signed-up for a queue or arrived at the business but left before availing the service. That is the simplest definition of customer churn or customer churn rate. There are many other types of customer churn, for example the revenue churn is not necessarily means that a business is losing customers, but in fact it means that a business is not making enough from a certain quantity of the customers in a certain period of time as it was making previously. There are so many factors that contributes to the customer churn, such as a competitor intervention, lacking desired features in products/services, cost, difficult or no proper on-boarding process, etc.

However, the most impactful factor that is a major cause of customer churn in service based industries is the customer journey and customer experience. If a business failed to deliver a desired customer experience, the customer will leave. If the waiting time is too long, the customers will leave, if the waiting areas is crowded, the customers will leave, if the staff is manually managing the queues, then there would be a lot of problems, due to which your customers will leave without availing the service. One of the best solution to reduce the customer churn rate is deploying an efficient queue management system.

An Efficient Queue Management SystemReduces Customer Churn Rate

A queue management system is basically a combination of software and hardware tools which are used to streamline the customer flow to reduce the customer wait time andto improve service delivery and other processes to enhance customer experience for maximum customer satisfaction. The customer satisfaction and the customer churn rate are both opposite to each other. More the customer happiness and satisfaction will be less the customer churn rate will be and vice versa. Here is how queue management system’s features and benefits can help businesses in reducing the customer churn rate:

Queue Management System Reduces Wait Time which Reduce Customer Churn Rate

One of the major cause of customer churn is the wait time. When the queues are managed manually the waiting lines are always long. Studies have shown that an average bearable wait time is thirteen minutes, any time more than that will start reducing the quality of the customer experience and the customer will start getting stressed out. Another problem with the manual queue management is that a business will have to acquire a lot of staff to accommodate heavy foot fall during the busy work hours. Which not only reduce the customer experience but also cause additional expense and raise the per service cost for the business. Obviously hiring too many employees is extremely expensive so business maintain a suitable number for the medium levels. Which could quickly increase work load during busy work hours and can result in decline in staff performance and their work quality.

All these factors contributes in customer churn. If a customer will have to wait in poorly managed waiting lines, and then they meet with the employees who are already exhausted due to workload, the customer satisfaction will decline and the churn rate will increase. However when an efficient queue management system is used to manage the customer flow, the customer wait time and the staff workload can be reduced significantly, which have double effects on the customer experience and customer journey. The queues are managed automatically and the staff don’t have to worry about managing customers and visitors, instead they can focus on their primary tasks which improves their service quality as well as their efficiency. If the customers don’t have to wait for too long, the customer churn rate reduced, and the satisfactory service and good experience further help improving relationship with the customers and increase their loyalty. The loyal customers are tend to tolerate much more than ordinary customers. So, it also help reducing the customer churn rate in future.

Queue Management System Streamline Customer Flow which Improve Customer Journey and Reduce Customer Churn Rate

When a customer feels they are stuck in a queue or the queue is not moving as it should be, they start thinking about leaving.

When staff is managing the customer flow, there is always delays, customers also have to face different kind of troubles, the first and most important thing is no matter how hard your staff tries if the waiting lines are long, the customers will get a perception that the staff is not efficient enough. That perception plays major role in customer churn.

Moreover there are businesses who have different segregations and classes on the bases of services, customer types, and various other factors. An efficient queue management system manages the customer flow as per all pre-defined sets of instruction for each customer type or class or any other required factor.

There are different scenarios for each business, some business have dedicated counters for certain services, some have dedicated counters for different types of customers such as premium or VIP and special customers, and some businesses offers stepped services, where a single service can be delivered via multiple counters, and some have any other scenario including all of these too.

Such scenarios complicate the customer flow and customer journey management.

This will allow them to make the customer feedback collection simpler and easier for the management as well as for the customers. For example let us assume the customer feedback scenario via a touch screen display or tablet stand at the counter. If a business need actionable reports from the customer feedback data then they must have to make it more precise and they should be able to capture all necessary fields of the input data as well. Usually business require customer identification, which customers don’t like to provide, as it takes time. But with an in-built tool or integrated customer feedback system the business doesn’t need the customers to identify them, in fact it can link their ticket and timing of service to automatically identify them.

That is just one example, the digital queue management system can help in many areas and can collect valuable business intelligence data. Furthermore the integration with third party systems allows the business to fetch or push data from and into various organizational tools and enterprise solutions to make the business intelligence more comprehensive and useful. This allow them to prepare great reports which can be catered directly to the corresponding personals or departments to take actions. These reports and business intelligence data allow the business to make strategies and policies that are in-line with customer’s interests, their need and their expectations. Business can significantly improve the customer journey and customer experience with the help of business intelligence data.

All these components are deployed as per the size and needs of the business. If a business already have a queue management system, then it can be upgraded. Mostly only the software upgrade would be enough as the rest of the hardware can be repurposed to be part of the new SMS based queue management system.

Integration with SMS Gateway

The SMS gateway is provided by the telecommunication companies and also by some third-party service providers. The business will have to acquire a SMS gateway which will be integrated with their SMS based queue management systems.

Waiting Area: Switching to virtual queuing doesn’t mean that you no longer need any waiting area, in fact there will be some customers who would wish to wait inside the premises to wait for their turn.
On-Site Check-Ins: Similarly there would be some customers who would like to go with the more traditional way, so keeping a traditional sign-up kiosk or ticket dispensing machine is always better.

2. Queue Management Software Types and Cost

The term ‘software type’ is a pretty vague terminology, it could mean a lot of things, however in case of queue management software the type usually refers to the ownership type. The queue management system manufacturers in Dubai and all around the UAE offers certain types of queue management software, such as cloud based solution which is usually a SAAS type software, SAAS means software as a service. For that type the businesses will have to subscribe for the software, whether it is annual subscription or monthly the businesses subscribe for it. Here are some most common queue management software types:

Cloud Based Queue Management Software or SAAS
Purchasable Queue Management Software
Off-the-shelf Queue Management Software Solution
Customizable Queue Management Software

The cloud based queue management software solution (SAAS) is completely managed by the service provider. The service provider owns the actual queue management software and the business is only renting it out or subscribing for a limited time period. In such scenarios the queue management software customization is very limited and expensive too. In fact the service itself is very expensive.

The purchasable queue management software is fully-owned by the business. The vendor offer the software and the entire source code to the business. Usually that kind of queue management software are based on an open-source technology. It doesn’t require any regular subscription fee or renewal charges. The business had to purchase it once and then there is no renewal or any such cost.

The off-the-shelf queue management software are the software that came as a standalone package. The software is a one-time-purchase and there is no annual or monthly or any other rental or renewal fee. The business will have to purchase a software once and it will be a lifetime license. The only limitation is that the business wouldn’t be able to customize it. In case if they want to customize such queue management software they will have to revert back to the original vendor/manufacturer.

The customizable queue management software is a tailor-made queue management software and solution. Here in Dubai and in other parts of UAE the queue management system vendors usually charge once for the solution. The business owns the queue management software and it’s all source code as well. Such software are usually built on an open-source technology platform. The business who owns the customized queue management software can have full ownership rights and they can hire in-house programmer to do any further customization or they can hire any vendor who is well versed with the technology to do the customization or modifications for the business. This is the most convenient plan for long term use and is also the best choice for usability and cost-efficiency.

3.Administrative Management and Monitoring Mechanisms

For a queue management software the primary objective is to improve customer journey and customer satisfaction, however, the administrative management and monitoring is also equally important. Eventually the management will have to configure the system and use the data collected from the system for business intelligence feeds. Usually when a business or organization is purchasing a new queue management software and solution they often overlooked the administrative management and monitoring aspects of the system. Later when they start using it, they face difficulties. It is very important that a queue management software provide a professional level of administrative management and controlling features. Because in every business there are certain levels of management with a predefined hierarchical structure. The queue management software should allow such management functionalities and any other work flow which is vital for the business and its operations.

Usually businesses have multiple branches along with a head office or main branch, the head office always have access and control over all connected branches, then comes the branch managers who have full control over the queue management of their designated branch and then comes assistants, supervisors, agents/servers, etc. This is a basic management structure that almost every business follows, however, businesses could have multiple intermediary stages as well. Most of the time the queue management software offer a pre-defined management structure, which can cause a lot of issue for the business so, it is important that the queue management software offers a flexible control over administrative access and job role assignment mechanisms. The branch manager and top level management, whether from the branch or from the head office will have real-time monitoring capabilities as per their respective authority and administrative control and job role. So, it is critically important that the queue management software allow the businesses to configure the job role and authority for admin users as per their convenience.

The web-apps and digital software such as queue management software have revolutionized the businesses and their practices. Businesses can integrate advanced systems and solutions to work together to provide ultimate user experience and to get administrative and management related advantages. The third-party system integration not only allow two digital solutions or systems to share and synchronize data but it also allow them to share functionalities/resources. For example if a queue management software need to recognize a customer through their mobile number or customer ID, instead of managing a separate customer database it can linked to a system which is already managing that data, so the identification process can be done through the existing system which will save a lot of resources and cost. This is how a third party system integration works.

In queue management software the third party system integration is used for various purposes and at various levels. The customer interface where the customers can sign-up for a particular queue for their required service and it can also be used at the agent dashboard to speed up the service delivery process. The third-party system integration is not only a unidirectional data traffic but it is a bidirectional data transfer. As the queue management software can fetch data from a third-party system using API integration it can also push or send data to a third-party system too. For example the queue management software can share the system usage data, reports, stats, customer feedback and other business intelligence data with any other performance management system or customer relationship management tools, etc. The queue management software can also effectively measure many staff KPIs which can be linked to the HR or employee performance management system for further use and so on and so forth.

Why do you need a queue management system?

A queue management system is used by businesses to streamline their queues to ensure the customer satisfaction. The queue management systems start gaining popularity around a decade ago, since then more and more businesses are adopting to it. The queue management system is basically a combination of a software and some hardware devices. The customers can sign-up for the queues by multiple channels. The most commonly used method is to sign-up via on-site interactive self-service ticket dispensing kiosk. However businesses are also using online appointment booking tools, smartphone applications, QR Code and also using a bit more traditional methods such as calls, emails, SMS, etc. The most common method is the self-service ticker dispensing kiosk. With the rise of virtual queuing the mobile apps and QR Code type sing-up methods are also gaining popularity.

Usually business have multiple services and multiple counters, so they ask customers and visitors to choose the service during the sign-up process. The customers and visitors sign-up for the queue, then they wait, an audio visual system is used for customer calling and then the customers and visitors approach the assigned counter, get the service done, and leave. Some businesses also ask for feedbacks and usually it is post-service customer feedback. The queue management system is a very effective tool to control, manage and improve the customer journey and customer experience. It also help businesses to boost employee performance and strengthen their relation with the customers.

Here are some good reasons why do you need a queue management system:

If you want to reduce the Customer Wait Time

The customer wait time is one of the most important factor in customer journey and it can completely make or break customer experience. Studies have shown that the maximum bearable wait time for any customer or visitors is thirteen minutes, any time more than that will add up to their frustration. Different industries have different impact of the long wait time. The customer churn rate is also different in different industry if we will keep the wait time constant, but one thing is sure, the maximum wait time without annoying your customers is thirteen to fifteen minutes, and long wait time always have negative impact on customer experience and customer journey. The queue management system is very helpful in reducing the customer wait time and controlling the customer flow.

Every business have multiple services and usually multiple counters are there which require multiple queues, the most common mistake made by the customers and visitors is to end up in the wrong queue. A queue management system solve that issue, it automatically direct the customers to the right queue as per their selection of the service during the sign-up process. In case if a customer selected wrong service, the agent/server had control and ability to immediately direct them to the right counter without making them to wait again. That is a great feature and it helps both the customers and the agents/server too.

Moreover with the help of a proper digital queue management system in place the customers don’t face a lot many other problems. For example, usually in manual queues, there are line jumpers, which can sometimes cause a literal chaos in the waiting area. Apart from the line jumper, the customers and visitors will have to stay in long lines to secure their position in the queue, which is also difficult. This unrest condition lead to other problems, one of the biggest problem that most businesses face is the complaints about mismanagement, despite the staff is doing their best, still the customer keep complaining about the mismanaged queues. These all problems waste time and over-burdened the staff too, which results in more waiting time. However with the queue management system this all can be avoided.

If you want to automate the Customer Journey and Customer Routing

You need a digital queue management system if you want to automate the customer journey and customer routing. The customer journey could be based on several steps, the number and nature of these steps is totally dependent on the service type and service delivery mechanisms. Different businesses have different internal structure and business practices which distinguish them from others. This is what form a unique customer experience. However there are certain types of queuing which can cover all types of businesses and their methods. Here are certain scenarios which differentiate queuing processes:

One counter for each service
One service for all counters
All counters for all services
Multiple counters for a single service (stepped service delivery)
VIP/Premium or exclusive counters for certain customers
One counter for multiple services but not all

These are just a few most commonly occurring scenarios. Obviously each business is different from the other and all businesses try to be unique and distinguishable to build unique brand identity and unique customer experience. However mostly the customer journey is managed and controlled as per the above mentioned scenarios. These all scenarios require a different approach. If a business is managing the customer flow and customer journey manually and it has more than one scenario (which usually is the case) then they will require a lot of staff to make sure a smooth customer flow and quicker customer journey. Which is expensive and still not so effective.

In manual queue management there will be still some loopholes and customers will still going to face some problems. Maybe during the regular work hours the problems may not occur much often but during the busy work hours there will be so many complaints and so many unhappy customers. With a queue management system the customer journey can be automated and all these problems can be solved and these delays can be eliminated.Which will significantly reduce the wait time and improve customer journey and customer satisfaction.

If you want to Improve Service Quality and Service Delivery

The waiting time and waiting experience impacts on the overall perception of the customer interaction. If a customer will have to wait in long queues and had to face all the troubles associated with manual queue management, they will be frustrated and annoyed when they will arrive at the service counter. This has a huge impact on their interaction with the service agent. When a customer is already frustrated and the employees are over-burdened the interaction could be anything by satisfactory. It would be extremely hard for the employees to make the customers happy and satisfied. But with a queue management system when the customer flow is automatically regulated the customer journey and customer routing is automatically managed, the waiting experience is pleasant, the customers will arrive in a normal mood and would be more accepting and understanding.

The automation and smoother customer flow also have double affects, it also reduce the work load of the employees and let your agents/server to focus on their primary tasks which further enhances their interaction with the customers and visitors. Moreover the segregation and/or identification of the services can provide a chance to the business to offer a bit more personalized experience as per the customer preferences. As the service agent is already aware what service he/she will have to cater for the next customer, they can do the preparations in advance. There is always some pre-service work for the agent, which need time, but due to the queue management system the agents/servers can get ready before the customer’s arrival and as soon as the customer arrives they can instantly initiate the service without any delay, this improve the service quality, reduce the service delivery time, improve employee and customer interaction and ensure higher customer satisfaction.

If you want to Improve Staff Efficiency

The biggest problem with manual queue management is that the staff is always under pressure. They have too much work to do, they are usually multitasking, and the chances are they will also get distracted while delivering the service. This not only reduce the staff efficiency but it also have an impact on the customer experience and customer journey. When the business is managing the queues manually the staff will also have to focus on the line management and all problems that comes with manual line management, such as unhappy customers, dispute between customers, line jumpers, etc. This distracted them from their primary tasks, it also make your staff unsatisfied. They always feel over-burdened and despite working so hard they still have to hear a lot of complaints from the customers.

However, the digital queue management system have advanced capabilities to automatically control customer flow and manage customer journey. Which significantly reduces the work load of the staff. The staff can utilize this free time to focus on their primary tasks. Once your staff will be happy and satisfied they will be able to deliver the satisfactory services. If a happy and active employee will greet your customer at the service counter it will automatically improve the customer interaction. On top of that the queue management system is also capable of monitoring and measuring various staff KPIs which are very helpful for the business for better resource management. Collectively all these factors contributes to achieve higher staff efficiency and enable an employee to serve more customers with good quality service in a single shift. This increase the profitability and operational capabilities of the business.

The customer feedback is also very important as it gives customers an impression that the business wants to listen to them and they are very important for their favorite brand. The business and customer relationship is very delicate, it requires continuous nourishing and the customer feedback is a great tool to understand brand perception in the customer’s minds.
