Frequently asked questions

Can it handle product launches and sales events?+

Yes. Set a maximum capacity and pause the queue whenever needed.

Does it work for checkout and help desks together?+

Run separate queues for tills, returns and help desks to keep flow clear.

What is retail queue management?+

Retail queue management uses a digital waiting list to organise how shoppers wait for checkout, fitting rooms or service counters. Customers join by QR code and get notified when it's their turn, instead of standing in a physical line.

How does a digital waiting list reduce checkout queues?+

Shoppers join a virtual line from their phone and wait anywhere in the store. Live position updates and alerts cut perceived wait time and reduce crowding at the tills.

Can retail stores use a QR code queue for fitting rooms?+

Yes. Customers scan a QR code to hold a fitting-room place and receive a notification when it is free — no app required.
