Queue Management System (QMS)

Queue Management System in Malaysia

A queue management system for clinics, banks, retail counters, government offices and event booths. Customers take a number by kiosk or QR code and are called by WhatsApp, SMS and display screen.

Overview

Queue setups for permanent counters and event booths

Frontdesk offers five queue management packages, from a fully digital web queue to self-service touch kiosks with thermal ticket printing and an optional lucky draw. Visitors enter their mobile number, receive a queue ticket by WhatsApp or SMS and follow live status updates. Staff call turns from wireless tablets, while overhead screens show the current numbers and your promotional videos.

AI built in

AI for people in the queue

Customers who know how long they will wait are less likely to walk away.

  • “How long is the wait?” answered

    Customers ask on WhatsApp and get their position and estimated waiting time straight away.

  • Messages in the customer's language

    Turn alerts and announcements are translated automatically into the language each customer chose.

  • Daily service summaries

    Waiting times, busy hours and customers served are summarised into a short daily report, so managers can plan counter staff.

Business benefits

WhatsApp turn alerts, one-tap calling and live queue displays

  • WhatsApp and SMS turn alerts

    Customers get a message on their phone when it is their turn, so staff do not have to shout numbers.

  • One-tap calling from a staff tablet

    Counter or booth staff call the next number, recall someone who is absent or skip a missed ticket from a tablet.

  • Queue display screens

    A TV or LED screen shows the numbers now being served, and can play your own promotional videos.

  • Runs on devices you already have

    The queue runs in a browser on an existing tablet, Smart TV or PC, so there is no special hardware to buy.

Implementation

How the queue works, in four stages

  1. Setup and branding

    We set up the kiosks, staff tablets, ticket printers and display screen with your logo and colours, as a permanent installation or as a rental for an event.

  2. Customers take a number

    They enter a phone number at the kiosk, or scan a QR code with their own phone.

  3. They wait where they like

    The queue number arrives by WhatsApp or SMS, and is printed if you choose a ticket printer, so nobody has to stand in line.

  4. Staff call the next number

    Staff tap Next on a tablet. The customer gets a WhatsApp notification and the display screen updates.

Who it is for

  • Clinics

    Patients take a number on arrival and wait in the seating area, or outside, until they are called.

  • Banks and government counters

    Visitors take a number at the kiosk and follow their turn on their phone or the display screen, instead of holding a paper ticket.

  • Retail outlets and service centres

    Customers take a number at the counter, carry on browsing and come back when they are called.

  • Exhibition and roadshow booths

    Visitors take a number by QR or kiosk and are called by WhatsApp or SMS, so the aisle stays clear.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a queue management system?
A queue management system gives each customer a queue number and calls them in turn. With Frontdesk, customers take a number at a kiosk or by QR code, wait anywhere, and are called by WhatsApp, SMS and the display screen.
Can it be installed permanently at a clinic, bank, shop or government counter?
Yes. The same system runs as a permanent counter queue or as a short rental for an exhibition or roadshow. A permanent site can use tablets, TVs and PCs it already has, or we supply the kiosks, ticket printers and display screens.
Do visitors need to download an application to join the queue?
No. Visitors enter their mobile number at a self-service kiosk or scan a QR code, and receive their ticket by WhatsApp or SMS.
Do you supply the hardware tablets, kiosks, and ticket printers?
Yes. Frontdesk provides complete hardware rental bundles, including touchscreen kiosks, wireless calling tablets, thermal printers and queue display screens.
What happens if a visitor does not have WhatsApp installed?
The system falls back to an SMS notification, or prints a paper ticket at the kiosk.
Can we run promotional video advertisements on the queue screen?
Yes. Both the touchscreen kiosk and the queue screens can play your brand videos while showing the queue status.
Can we combine queue registration with an instant lucky draw or game?
Yes. Options 3 and 5 let visitors play an instant lucky draw game right after entering their phone number on the kiosk.
What is a virtual queuing system?
A virtual queuing system lets people take a queue number on their phone or at a kiosk and wait anywhere. This WhatsApp queue management system alerts each person by WhatsApp or SMS when it is their turn and shows the queue on a display screen.
