Customer Software Development: Why React JS is The Future of Frontend Development

The React JS is a JavaScript library which is used to build user interfaces (UIs) and it has emerged as one of the most popular platform in past few years. The React JS is an open-source library which is another great reason for using it in the frontend development. It is majorly used in website and mobile application development. The React JS basically offer reusable code snippets which is much make UI and frontend development much easier. When the developers use React JS they require much less code comparing to other JavaScript frameworks such as Vanilla JavaScript. The React JS behave like Lego blocks, and allow programmers to use and reuse independent individual code blocks and elements which are the part of the final UI (user interface). The React JS offers a revolutionary approach of allowing developers to use individual elements to build an entire UI rather treating the full UI as one element or single unit. The frontend developer can easily split complex UIs into several elements which is a much easier approach than the conventional methods. That is why the React JS has emerged as one of the most popular frontend development framework not only in Dubai, UAE but it is equally popular all around the world.

The custom software development is also gaining huge appreciation from all around the world, businesses are opting for custom software solutions rather than acquiring a commercial off-the-shelf solution. The React JS not only improves the development process but it is much more stable and efficient which is what makes it ideal for custom software development, websites and mobile applications. Businesses in Dubai, Sharjah, Abu Dhabi and other parts of UAE are investing huge chunk of their hard-earned profits in digital experience. The websites and mobile applications have also become very complex day by day. Traditionally when the developers and programmers use a framework they will have to write a lot of code, which is time-consuming and it also make troubleshooting difficult. However, with the React JS the developers can easily break the complex UIs into individual components and they can use code from pre-build library which saves a lot of time and efforts. In this blog we will discuss the benefits and advantages of React JS which makes it ideal for frontend development in custom software development, website building and smartphone application development.

React JS is The Future of Frontend Development

React JS is Easy to Use and Learn

If you are a professional frontend developer then using and learning the React JS is very easy. It is built on JavaScript which is essential for every frontend developer so while you already knows JavaScript working with the React JS is very easy. When you have understanding of variable, array, functions, conditional statements and loops it is very easy to learn and use the core concepts of the React JS such as props, stats, JSX, components and lifecycle methods. For example a component in the React JS is a small chunk of UI which can be reused anywhere. There is a root component which contains more components and the overall structure is a tree like hierarchal structure which is easier to use and understand.

React JS Offers High Performance and Efficiency

The React JS uses the state and render method, in which the state part take care of the data that has to be displayed and the render method is taking care of the design and how the data should be presented on the screen. The output represents a JavaScript object which is mapped with the DOM (document object model) element. Instead of DOM the React JS uses another innovative method and it creates virtual DOMs. The virtual DOM is also a JavaScript object but it is a light and it an in-memory representation of a real DOM and when the state of an element get changed, the UI renders itself again in the virtual DOM instead of real DOM. This is the reason the custom software, websites and web apps made using React JS are much faster and efficient.

React JS Offers Declarative Programing Style

Another great reason why custom software developer, website and mobile application developer likes React JS is its declarative programing style. The programmers can tell what to do (express the logic of computation) without any need to tell how to do it (control flow). Custom software development teams and website/mobile app developer love this because it reduces the possibilities for errors and mistakes by simplifying and shortening the source code. The declarative programing style is simpler than the imperative programing and it also reduce the time and efforts of the developer.

React JS Offers Stability and Simplify Debugging

The React JS was developed by Facebook and they have designed a very impressive debugging mechanism in this framework. It enable the React JS to keep the bugs separate and enable the browser to isolate such errors which makes it easier to trace and rectify them. Furthermore the component creation mechanism also ensures that the unit testing can be executed effectively which minimize the chances of system crash and also results in better efficiency. The reusability of elements and components also reduce the need of frequent testing, save times and brings stability to the system.

React JS Offers Cross-Platform Compatibility

Another remarkable feature of React JS is that it offer excellent cross-platform compatibility. Businesses also prefer cross-platform compatible solutions as they are cost-efficient and also offer consistent experience across all compatible platforms such as web, desktop and mobile apps. That also benefits software developers and app developers as their single supplication can offer a seamless user experience across all platforms and they doesn’t have to build different applications for different platforms which also saves a lot of time and efforts. Furthermore the React Native is a specialized component used to build native mobile applications.

React JS Offers Better Migration and Adoptability for Future

For any customized software, website or mobile application the ability to migrate it to an updated technology or platform in future is very important. React JS offers great feature to migrate it to other platforms and technologies. It is very convenient to migrate data, configurations and settings of custom software, websites and mobile apps build using React JS. That is another reason why developer prefer React JS because it requires very less effort and work to migrate it to other platforms. Furthermore the React JS is adopted by large businesses and rapidly adopted by small and medium sized organizations which is why the innovation, creativity and new features are very frequent in React JS.

Conclusion

The information technology evolves at a very fast pace, new technologies, platforms, ideas and creativity is greater than any other industry. Especially the software development industry witnessed a lot of development and progress over the past few years. Furthermore the software development industry is subjected to rapid advancements and monumental changes, which is why new technologies and platforms are appearing every other month. The React JS is one of the best tool for custom software development, website and mobile application building. The easy usability, simple learning curve, less coding, easy troubleshooting, and better adoptability makes it the best tool for frontend development. Large businesses in Dubai, Sharjah, Abu Dhabi and other parts of UAE are adopting React JS which is why its popularity is increasing rapidly and it is safer to say that the React JS is the future of frontend development.

Regardless of industry a queue management system is the perfect companion for a modern day customer service centers. Businesses can find industry specific solutions as well as fully customized queue management systems which are exclusively designed to meet the very specific needs of the business.

What is a Queue Management System?

By definition a queue management system is a tool which is used to manage the customer flow and queues in the customer facing environments. The queuing theory is the learning and understanding of the line formation and customer flow. Businesses were managing queues since long time ago, even before the technological revolution and internet. Earlier businesses were managing footfall by forming waiting lines which worked on first come first serve bases. Later on businesses started issuing token numbers manually in form of small paper piece or tags, which have greatly improved customer flow and allow businesses to serve customers in different priority groups, and also enable them to segregate customers on the bases of services they need. However, things have changed and the internet and IT technologies have evolved. Businesses then started deploying digital queue management systems. A digital queue management system is based on a software program and some hardware components. The modern digital queue management systems greatly improved the management abilities, control and performance of the queuing which also had a great impact on customer happiness and raise customer satisfaction.

Why Businesses should Deploy Queue Management Systems?

There are many reasons to deploy a queue management system. Every business who serves its customers at their offices, customer service centers or at their premises, need a mechanisms to manage footfall and ensure a frictionless customer journey. The customer journey is impacts customer happiness which is essential to attain customer loyalty and improve brand image. In this blog we will enlist key advantages of investing in a queue management system and how it benefits businesses.

Queue Management System Reduces Customer Wait Time

The customer wait time is the most crucial and significant factor in managing customer experience. Long wait time results in bad customer experience and unhappy customers. Only happy and satisfied customers will contribute to your business growth. Happy customers become loyal and loyal customers tend to be a good brand advocate who help you improve your brand image and attract more customers. On an average a 12 minutes wait time have least impact on customer happiness, more time added and your customers will become more unhappy and eventually they will become annoyed and angry which will not only ruin the customer experience but will also cause increase in customer churn and could badly impact your business’s reputation. A queue management system digitalize the queuing process and digitalization drives automation which can greatly improve efficiency and reduce customer wait time. It also help improving employee efficiency and eliminate common queuing problems which results in less wait time and better management. Less wait time means happy customers and happy customers mean repeated business which will help you grow and increase profitability.

Queue Management System Improves Customer Experience

Queue Management System not only reduce customer wait time but it is very capable of improving the entire customer experience. Usually customers are welcomed with a self-service interactive ticket dispensing kiosk which allow them to choose the service they need or sign-in and get a ticket number. The customers can wait comfortably in the designated areas or they can go out to spend the wait time as they want, this allow them to sign-up for virtual queues, hence the customers doesn’t need to stand in long physical waiting lines. Furthermore the wait time is also a complex phenomenon, there is one actual wait time and there is one perceived wait time. The perceived wait time is always higher than the actual, it is our brain who tricked us in believing that more time has passed than what have actually passed. The queue management system give customers more freedom and allow them to wait outside and keep them updated with regular alerts and notification such as SMS or WhatsApp, etc. The queue management system also have in-built announcement and customer calling system which keep customers distracted from waiting, it also have a digital signage which displays live queuing information and it also plays multimedia content or promotional material which keep customers distracted from the waiting time and help reducing their perceived wait time. These features significantly improve your customers’ waiting experience and raise their satisfaction.

Queue Management System Improves Employee Performance

The queue management systems also helps improving employee performance. It offers a comprehensive performance monitoring framework having multiple KPIs to monitor and evaluate employee performance. These KPIs help businesses to enhance their resource management strategies and are also very useful for the HR department. The HR can extract employee performance data to improve their training programs and take several HR decisions based on the employee performance data which help businesses improve their productivity in longer run. Furthermore the queue management system can automate several customer journey processes and digitalize several interactions which helps automating many tasks which are previously done by the service staff. An effective queue management system can significantly reduce the workload of the employee which results in better performance. When employee works under balanced workload their satisfaction rises which raise their morals and have long term impact on employee performance and also enhance the quality of their work. The queue management system can also automatically reroute the customers based on the current customer flow at each counter to minimize the customer wait time which also help balancing the workload and enhance employee performance.

Queue Management System Reduces Cost

A queue management system is a great companion for your business to optimize the operational cost while boosting the performance and productivity. As I have mentioned above a queue management system can greatly improve customer flow and minimize the burden of the staff which results in a productive environment and it ensures high quality services for the customers. Furthermore the queue management system automates several queuing processes. The digitalization and automation doesn’t require any staff assistance at most of the touchpoints which means the overall need of human resource decreases. Businesses can invest in queue management system and minimize the need of human resource which can significantly reduce the operational cost without effecting the productivity in fact the queue management system can greatly improve efficiency. The initial cost of the queue management system is also quite reasonable, as the technology used to build queue management systems are widely available. A queue management system consists of two parts, the software and hardware. Both software and hardware works independently and doesn’t require regular maintenance, which means the maintenance cost is also very low. The improved employee efficiency, decreased human resource need, and low-cost deployment of the system results in high ROI and help businesses minimize the per-service and overall operational cost.

Queue Management System Collects Business Intelligence Data

A queue management system is a digital tool which have a very powerful AI based software with smart algorithms and great capabilities of collecting business intelligence data. The business intelligence data includes customer behavioral data, their interaction at each touch point, system’s statistical and analytical data and various other insight which help businesses understand customer needs, demands, liking/disliking, market trends, staff performance and customer feedback. A digital queue management system also offers in-built analytical tools which help businesses extract actionable reports from the collected data. These reports can be included in the decision making process as well as these can be shared automatically as per set frequency. The management can easily analyze the performance of each branch using these reports and on top of that customized reports can also be generated as per the needs of the management. The staff performance data is very useful for the resource planning and management and the HR can also use this data for several HR decisions. Queue management system can also be used to collect valuable customer feedback data which can be collected using on-premises tablets, touch screen or interactive kiosks and the queue management system can also integrate multiple channels such as SMS, Emails, WhatsApp, mobile apps, websites and many more. The business intelligence data help businesses improve processes, reduce cost and identify the areas of improvement which increase profitability and productivity in the long run.

How Queue Management System Improves Business
