EDPU Technologies Acquired RSI Interactive Kiosks

EDPU Technologies is a well-reputed name in the market. They are renowned for providing advanced technological solutions for their patients across all their health care centres. The latest project was also one of the efforts made to maximize their patient’s experience and convenience at their health care centres all across the UAE. The objective was to allow the patients to log in and authenticate via their Emirates ID card and then upload all the information from an interactive kiosk. This not only expedites the customer journey but also improves the service delivery time. As in the health care facilities mostly the patient are a little bit anxious and stressful so it is very critical to provide them with the services which could reduce their wait time and ensure quicker service delivery.

RSI Concepts was given the task to provide them with interactive kiosks with a completely customized design to meet the needs and requirements of the customers. We have carefully examined the requirements and decided on a Fire Resistive MDF based model. The entire kiosk was custom build to keep the touchscreen and the Emirates ID card reader at a certain height and angle. The kiosk has been built and we got approval and appreciation from EDPU Technologies and their health centres. The kiosks are meant to be commissioned in all their branches across the seven emirates of UAE. The EID Card reader is in-built and the touchscreen is an all-in-one computer to support the software and interactive user interface.

Here are the remarks of our Sales and Marketing Manager, Ms Maheen Waheed:

“It was a great experience working with the EDPU Technologies, the requirement gathering was intense, the production process was smooth and on time. The kiosk we have supplied will surely enhance the customer experience and will add up value to the brand.”

At RSI Concepts we always strive for the best quality. Our production line and supply chain along with our skilled staff ensure the ultimate quality and timely project execution. We will always look forward to more future collaborations with EDPU Technologies.

What should I have in my website of an interior design company?

What should I have on my website for an interior design company? Many interior designers are asking this question these days. But why they are interested in the websites in the first place? Well, those days are long gone, when the interior designers and companies reaching out to people with their booklets, brochures and photo albums. These days the digitalization is taking over. Every good designer knows how important the first impression is to close a lead. And your website is your first digital impression and first entry point to your business from the online domain. It is extremely important that you have a strong website that is capable of turning your prospects into leads. In Dubai, UAE another very crucial phenomenon that all local businesses are witnessing is that their audience and customers are preferring to search for them online. Multiple studies and surveys are done in the past few years and the results were suggesting that the influence of online is far greater than ever before and it is even still growing. The interior design companies are no exception. You should understand how the websites work and what you should offer to your visitors from your website to convert them into a legit lead.

The interior designing market is all about colours, layouts, patterns and looks and feels. Does your website reflect that too? Your visitors and prospects will expect the same from your website, they will subconsciously judge you by the visual representation and functionalities of your website. A website is a very strong bond to build trust among the online audiences and customers. It is one of the most effective communication tools but unfortunately, most of the SMEs and local businesses are completely unaware of its importance and potential. This is why we have decided to write this blog and we will elaborate on what you should have on your website if you are operating as an interior designing company in Dubai, UAE.

1. Content

The very first thing you need even before starting a website is a plan and strategy of the content. You should define clearly what content you want to publish on your website. Prepare all the content accordingly and have it in your hand before moving to the web design phase. The content will be all the text, pictures photos and media (videos, animations, graphics, etc). Make a list of all the pages you want and prepare content accordingly. The homepage is the main entry point to your website it is a kind of reception of a physical office for a website. Most of your traffic will land on your homepage. Define other pages such as About Us, Services Pages, Portfolio, Media Library, Contact Us page and or any other page which you think could be helpful in attracting the attention of your customers.

While preparing the content it is very important to make your content short and descriptive, these days no one likes to read multiple paragraphs to understand a point. Utilize visual aids, images, graphics, animations, videos, etc to explain your point. In Dubai, UAE everyone has access to high-speed internet. The general public trend is that people pay more attention to the videos and visual content rather than the textual content. But that doesn’t mean your textual content is not important. It is still the most important part of the content. Use different sales pitches which attract visitors to hit the call-to-action button. Technically speaking the CTA or Call to Action is the act of a prospect converting into a lead. It could be purchase, enquire, signup or anything. In the case of an interior designing company website, the CTA would be most likely contact or enquire or a call back request.

2. Web Design

The website has two major parts, one is the web design or the UX/UI and the other is the backend or the programming or source code. The source code is hidden from the visitor’s eyes and is executed inside the computer and/or server to form a web design. However, the web design is the actual web page we see in the browser. It has to be very intuitive, interactive, appealing and convincing. Interior designing is basically a visual industry and in each visual industry, the designers are well aware of the effects of the designs, colours, patterns and the overall impression. The same rules apply to the web designs as well, although it is a bit more diverse and have certain other things which could help businesses increase their online leads and conversions. Bus the basic remains the same.

For the web design, there are certain rules that if followed ensure a better response from the visitors. In the web design for an interior company website, the homepage has to be very simple, and as your sales pitches are mostly the work you are doing so your homepage has to be able to host multiple services if not all but at least the most important services that you are doing. Do not load your homepage with tons of information and photos. The main landing screen should have a great visual representation of your work and your services along with compelling taglines and sales pitches to encourage the visitors to hit the CTA. For the internal pages, each page should have a unique experience as per the content.

For example, your portfolio is a very important page, usually, the interior designing companies website don’t pay much attention to the portfolio page. Mostly web designs only show a large image gallery with only functionality to Zoom or Full-Screen image. It is important you put basic information of the project along with the images too. This not only encourages the visitors but also builds trust. The same applies to other internal pages, pay more attention to the service pages and at least design one page for each service. The contact us page is also important, do not ask for tons of information in the contact forms or other forms. Just the basic information is enough. Include your location map and complete contact details. The web design is the only touchpoint where a visitor interacts with a business hence has to be made with the attentions to convert that visitor into a lead.

3. Responsive and Smartphone Compatibility

These days mobile phones have become essential to daily life. People spend more time on their smartphones and smart gadgets than on conventional computers and laptops. Most internet searches are made from smartphones. It is a general understanding now among marketers that smartphones are more capable than traditional computer or laptop. Mostly the social media is used in smartphones, more searches are made from smartphones, and all sort of industries are utilizing the enormous potential of smartphones and innovating new ideas to utilize them in boosting efficiency and convenience. Being a local business or even a national business in the interior designing industry it is vital to have a smartphone-enabled website. When people notice a website that is not mobile-friendly or doesn’t support smartphones, they tend to avoid it even while searching from the computer or laptop. This is why these days smartphone compatibility which is more often called responsiveness is very critical and important for an interior designing company in Dubai, UAE.

A responsive website is one that is capable of detecting the device from where it is being accessed and then automatically render its design as per the screen size and other parameters of the device. This all happens in less than a second, in fact, it takes only a fraction of a second. The great advantage of a responsive web design is that it maintains a similar user experience in all devices which is important because if a user has accessed your website from their laptop and later they are accessing it from their smartphone they would expect the same elements on the same places, which is very important to build a user experience. The visitors’ expectations are always high, and they have tens of hundreds of other options just a few clicks away. So, it is important to capture their attention when they first land on your website or any web page. Else they will move to one of your competitors.

4. Dynamic Website & CMS

What is a dynamic website? The dynamic website is the website that provides a content management system or CMS such as PHP Framework, WordPress, Joomla, Drupal or any other framework. This CMS is used to manage and update the content of a website. It is very important to constantly publish new content and keep the information up-to-date on an interior company website. The Dynamic Website comes with a content publishing tool which we call a CMS or content management system. It has an online dashboard and allows the administrator or the management to access the control panel online. Whenever you want to publish new photos in the media library or want to upload a new project and simply want to edit any information on the website you can do it quickly and easily from the CMS. This is the modern industry standard.

Earlier there were two types of websites, the static and the dynamics. The market was dominated by the static website because the companies and organizations were not using them for the purposes they are currently being used for. Now a day if you want a static website you must have to have a website programmer who can update the website content and information. As the static websites can only be updated by writing or editing the source code. Which requires sufficient professional and technical skills. If you go with a static website, either you have to hire a website programmer in-house or you will have to outsource this work, which will add up to the operational cost. So, the best approach is always a dynamic website for interior designing companies as they will require continuous updates and uploads on their websites. And it is more cost-effective in terms of operational cost.

5. Load Time

The load time is the time a website or a webpage takes to get a load from the server to the client/browser. As the interior designing company’s website has more than usual images and graphics so the load time could go higher. But from the user perspective, high load time is very bad and visitors often leave a webpage if it takes too long to get load. So it is very crucial to optimize the load time for an interior designing company website. There are so many different methods and techniques that website developers use to reduce the load time. These details are all very technical so I will just list them here:

Reduce HTTP Requests
Combine Multiple Source Code Files
Minify the Source Code
Create Sub-Domains to Load Different Source Code Files and Multimedia in Parallel
Optimize the Pictures and Photos
Use Small Photos for Thumbnails and Load Large After the Zoom Button is Clicked
Use SVGs instead of PNGs and JPGs for Design Elements
Draw Patterns and Backgrounds using CSS as much as Possible
Built the theme in a way that it loads content on the scroll
Use Appropriate Web Hosting

Of course, the list goes on, but these are the major key player in the load time optimizations. If these things are considered while the development and commissioning of the website the load time can be reduced significantly.

6. Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

Search Engine Optimization or SEO is very important these days. If you want to build a good brand reputation you should make sure that your website appears in the first results of the search page. If you want to reduce your digital marketing expenses, you need organic traffic which comes from search engine optimization. SEO has evolved a lot, and only professional web designers and web developers can understand its importance and can build websites that are ‘SEO Friendly’. Your every service is your keyword and relevant terms that people use in the search engine to look up for those services are your keywords, these keywords should be added in the content on the website and in the source code, they should be added with the right attributes. Similarly, the design should also highlight them clearly.

The search engine and social media and many other data scrappers read those keywords, evaluate their repetition rate and their prominence and then rate a page for those keywords, similarly, they associate certain pages of your website with certain keywords. This is the very basis of the SEO of course there are a lot many other things but it is critical that your website’s design and source code structure is search engine friendly and it let them read the content easily. This will automatically increase your ranks in the search results and will divert a vast amount of free organic traffic which will not only reduce your digital marketing cost but will drive more leads and conversions.

Conclusion

The interior design company or any other local business heavily rely on online traffic these days in Dubai, UAE. In order to maintain a steady stream of online organic web traffic, you should have a great website. And it should be great enough to convert your prospects into leads. As is with any other visual industry the looks and feels are the most important and the first impression is very critical, the interior designing industry is not an exception. Your website is your very first interaction with a very large audience, make sure they convert. Pay attention to the content, design, images and every minute detail possible to build up a user experience that compels the visitors to click on your CTA. Consider the loading time and page speed as well.

Make sure your website abide by all the standards and rules of the search engines so that you can get higher ranks in the searches. These days in Dubai, UAE the general population is very much relying on their smartphones, the smartphone searches have already surpassed the traditional computers and laptops. This makes it extremely important that your website is not only SEO friendly but it is also smartphone compatible or responsive. Your website is basically the foundation of your digital marketing campaign and activities. It has the potential to determine the failure or success of an interior design company.

One thing which is impossible that somehow the customers don’t have to visit offices and customer support centres or banks or hospitals. So, until the customers don’t stop visiting there will be a need for customer flow management. A queue management system is the only available solution for that. Manual customer flow management requires too many resources and it makes the service delivery process slower. The staff and server always struggle with managing queues with manual customer flow management.

What should be covered in a hospital website?

In Dubai, UAE most of the time when a customer needs to make a purchase decision they often look up on the internet first. The websites and internet presence can hugely influence the purchase decision. When it comes to local businesses, a website plays an important role in trust-building and brand reputation building. Most often our customers ask us “what should be covered in a hospital website?” which is why I am writing this blog to cover the basics of the subject. In the healthcare industry, people are very sceptical. They always do research, ask their family and friends about the brand and then make a decision. When it comes to the internet a hospital website is the very first interaction of the brand with their customers or patients. A website is very capable of both, driving more traffic and also repelling your precious customers away. Hence a hospital website in Dubai, UAE needs a great deal of planning and strategy if you really want to improve your customer experience and growth.

For hospitals and the healthcare sector, a website is becoming a very powerful tool in past few years. People living in UAE are more adopted towards the latest technologies and trends. In a few past years having a good online representation of your business can quickly improve your brand image, brand reputation and sales. But it is important that what image you are portraying with your website is the best representation of your brand. For hospitals and clinics, a website must offer necessary information and functionalities which can help improving customer experience and customer journey.

Here are some important things that need to be considered in a hospital website:

Simple and Easy to Understand Homepage Design

It is very important to understand that the Hospital website’s homepage is very different from any other traditional website. The main objective of a hospital website is to provide an interaction for the customers, all other call-to-action is not relevant. We only need to focus on the entry points. Following are the most important details that a customer or patient will seek when they will land on a hospital website:

The Services a hospital is offering
A list of important and popular doctors
Directions, Timings and Contact Details

These are the very basic information that a customer needs to interact with the hospital. So, it is very important that we keep our homepage simple, easy-to-navigate and avoid unnecessary items. Usually, the one thing we notice is that Hospital websites have irrelevant links added in prominent positions which are not relevant to users. For example, employee login, link to their intranet or doctors internal portal or any such links/buttons that are not useful for a customer/patient. Avoid these links and such details. Another thing is a patient is always in a need of an urgent solution, they are very less interested in your business vision or story, yes the client testimonials or remarks from other patients are helpful but keep them at the bottom of the page or in the lower sections. The most visible part of the homepage for a hospital website should contain the most relevant information for the customers/patients.

Think from a patient’s point of view, try to analyze their journey, think what they would be looking for and then direct their path towards the successful interaction via a call to action button or activity. Provide them with less but precise and very important information. Form your customer journey is multiple but easy and short steps, each step should provide them additional information which will encourage them to for the next step. This is how a hospital website should form a customer journey.

Internal Pages and Content

In a hospital website not only homepage is important but since the visitors are expected from various sources, for example, search engine, social media or any other marketing source. The internal pages should be short, informative, and dedicated to one service only. Multiple services in a single page will either make it too long or even if you try to keep it short you might not be able to provide enough information that can encourage a visitor to convert into a lead. Use fewer graphics and multimedia as people prefer to read more information on such pages. The service pages or other internal pages should serve their objectives, for example, if it is a service page then you should have a very directive customer journey path and call to action.

The content and language for all of the pages whether internal page or homepage should be very easy and simple to understand. Avoid using complex technical terminologies and technical explanations. Try to aid with mini-animations or graphics to explain a difficult or complex phenomenon. All the pages should provide complete and clear information in a very simple and easy to understand manner. The customers and patients who are coming to your website or its internal pages are looking for a solution to their problem or need. Make your pages design and data as simple as possible so that it is easily understandable for an average user.

Offer Digital Services and Helpful Functionalities

A Hospital website is not just only your company profile. As we all saw the digitalization and transformation of digital services in past few years in all types of industries and public sectors. Especially in Dubai and UAE, the governments are emphasizing digital services and the governments themselves are offering a huge variety of digital services, most of the time you don’t even have to go to a public office instead you can avail the service online via a web portal and/or smartphone applications. This has completely changed the trends and expectations of the service-based industries. In healthcare and hospitals, the customer who is your patients would also expect digital services. Here are some examples of digital services and website functionalities that can literally transform your customer journey:

Online Appointment Booking

The online Appointment Booking system is a great feature to offer by a hospital website. The functionalities and features of this service should be decided with great care. If any integration with any existing system or data pool is required it should also be done to make the service easier and simpler for the customers. For appointment booking ideally, the patient should have the freedom to choose the date and time for their appointment with the doctors. The data of the doctors should be presented in a clear and very clean manner. A search engine should be offered to look up the available slots and the entire process should be concluded in less than three minutes. Only ask for basic information from the patient and don’t put a long checklist of symptoms or any such thing, these things will make the process difficult and the customers will easily lose interest, they will rather prefer to call or visit instead of using this digital service.

Online Chat & Contact Details

Online chat is a great feature for a hospital website. Most healthcare centres and hospitals operate 24/7 and someone is always available at the phone or reception. So, arranging source for online chat management is also easier for hospital management. If that is not possible, a chatbot with basic Q&A could also make the service more effective. These days along with online chat WhatsApp chat is also gaining popularity. It is a very simpler and easier way for your customers especially those who are using their smartphones to access your website. Apart from that, the contact details of all the departments should be provided along with search functionality to further facilitate the visitors. The navigation of the contact details should be easy and simple. Online chats and online contact directories could improve the customer experience or patient experience and build trust for the brand.

Online Patient Portals

As the hospitals are compiling very comprehensive patient data and all the details of their previous history and everything. Online Patient Portals are a great way to make those details instantly available for your patients. Online Patient Portal can add greater value to the user experience of a hospital website. The patient should be allowed to register either completely online which is a better approach or either by visiting the hospital to get them registered for the online portal. Once they are registered they should be provided with login details, and all the data should be protected and only available after successful login to the portal. It will be a complete patient profile and history of their past visits and treatments or whatever details you think should be provided to your patients/customers.

Customer Feedback and Complaint System

Customer Feedback and Complaint System is a very important and useful feature for the service-based industry. A hospital website should have dedicated customer feedback and complaint systems. Customer feedback is very important in understanding the needs and problems of your customers and patients. The hospitals can collect customer feedback from both website and smartphone applications as well as other a bit more traditional mediums. The complaint module is a very important feature of hospital websites, as most of the time the customers visiting a hospital are already stressed or worried or at unrest, so they could have a lot of complaints. You should provide them with a medium to express their feelings and emotions. Active follow-ups and response will make them happy and improve the trust factor.

Mobile Compatibility and SEO Friendly Website

As most of the people in UAE are using smartphones for their online searches and a lot of other online activities, in fact, the smartphone is their first choice for a lot of internets and social activities. It is important for hospitals to have a mobile-friendly or technically speaking, responsive website. A responsive website is a website that renders its content automatically accordingly to the screen size and device it is being opened from. The responsive websites can offer a uniform customer experience and journey on all sort of devices such as Laptop, PC, Tablet, Smartphones and other gadgets. The responsiveness is a very important feature for a website that requires online customer interaction. Apart from responsive web design, a hospital website should also consider cross-platform compatibility. It is a bit more technical feature but in simple words, it means that the website should maintain a uniform user experience on different platforms such as Windows, MAC, Android, iOS, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, Microsoft Edge and such things.

As all the people are organized and the staff is managing them with more ease and comfort, their service delivery time will automatically reduce hence each customer and visitor will have to wait for less. No worry about line jumpers or any mismanagement during the queue. Everything is organized and well-controlled and monitored by the staff. The wait time is a huge cause of customer dissatisfaction. As no one wants to wait in a long queue, no one likes to wait for hours to get a service and as soon as you started getting happy or calm customers at the counters they will behave more cooperative with the staff and more understanding. Which itself is an indicator of improved customer experience.

Automatic Customer Journey Management

Another very advanced feature of the RSI Queue Management System is that it allows organizations to automatically manage the customer journey. Customer journey management plays a great role in improving the customer experience. For example, if you have multiple counters, with multiple agents, and most often business has dedicated counters for dedicated services too. Or in some cases, some counters are exclusive to certain customers, for example, disabled customers and visitors, VIP customers, or priority customers. Another example is if service delivery is done through multiple counters, for example, at one counter you pay the fee and from the other counter you do the data entry, get the service done, or the service itself requires two or more counters to get a complete service delivery done.

All these scenarios can be automated using our RSI Queue Management System. Another most often requested feature from our Dubai, UAE based customers is that the Queuing System should automatically reroute the customers to the vacant counter. Our Queue Management System is fully equipped to handle all those scenarios with a very flexible and administrative control panel to further enable the business to utilize the features as per their policies and needs.

This allows the organizations to actively play multi-media content on the large screens which are traditionally used only for displaying the ticketing information.

The effect of multi-media content is that it helps reduce the stress of waiting and the visitors and customers can spend their time while watching interesting videos or adverts along with the updated ticketing information. Which also let them see their token number approaching quickly. It also helps to reduce stress and calm them.

Another great feature of our Queue Management System is that it also prints the estimated time to turn on the token or ticket. Which itself has a great psychological effect on the customer’s mind as waiting for a known time is less stressful than waiting for an unknown time. The multi-lingual audio announcements also keep the customer engaged and reduce the effects of waiting.

How a KPI Software can help provide better Customer Journey?

The customer journey and customer experience play a critical role in any business’s customer retention capabilities, brand reputation, and growth. How a KPI software can help provide a better customer journey? Well, a customer journey is not very simple and easy to measure a thing, in fact, it is a very complex phenomenon. The easiest way is to identify different phases of the customer journey and then for each phase measure the KPIs or key performance indicators. This way you can easily identify your strong and weak points and then take decisions to further rectify your weaknesses. Once everything is in place, you can easily monitor and tweak your entire customer journey with a more effective strategy and far efficient approach. The KPI software is built specifically for analysis and data collection. The key here is that not all KPI software is capable enough to present all the data in actionable reports. With our KPI Software tool, you can easily gather vital business intelligence to streamline and improve your processes involving customer journey with more ease and precision.

Here is how a KPI software can help provide a better customer journey:

Measure Customer Lifetime Score to Improve Customer Retention

Customer Lifetime Score helps you understand the lifecycle of a customer. It is not easy to retain an existing customer along with struggling to get more. This KPI could be in a broader perspective a result of multiple other KPIs. The data can be sourced from different information centres and then analyzed and compiled to measure the customer lifetime score or value. This will provide you a better understanding of your customer retention and returning customers. The data can be utilized and compared with the existing customers and further analysis can be done to understand why customers are not returning back or how the customer lifetime score/value can be improved to improve customer retention.

Measure Direct Traffic and Improve Marketing Strategies

Measuring direct traffic is very important. It will show you how effective your marketing strategies are. In order to increase your sales and leads, a business should always have to pursue their customers either by advertisements, digital marketing, social media, email marketing or any other method of marketing. These are very precise and measurable actions hence they should have a measurable reaction. In our case, the reaction will be the traffic coming to your website. These KPIs should help organizations in improving their marketing strategies which will increase the number of leads and conversions.

For example, your customers are coming to your branches and offices or locations. You should be able to measure their quantity and then the conversion rate as well. This will help you understand the branch’s performance which could be further improved by other relevant KPIs.

See More: Benefits of Virtual Queue Management System

Measure On-Site Time and Improve Customer Experience

In the case of website and digital marketing, we need a customer to spend more time on the site which is the website. In the case of branch visits or office visits, we want our customers to spend less time on the branch to get a service done. In both scenarios, you will understand how you can improve your customer’s journey to an extent where you can also get optimum numbers of leads and sales. For example, if people are spending a good amount of time on your website that is good it means your website is engaging and people are reading it. Which shows a good customer journey and higher rates of conversion.

If visitors are spending more time at your branch or office that means the server staff is taking more time, or the queues are not managed properly which is worsening the customer experience and customer journey. And it is very bad, immediate actions should be taken to rectify this issue.

Measure Customer Effort Score and Improve Customer Journey

Customer effort score is very valuable data. It has to be monitored and measured. The KPI Software enables you to measure the inputs from the different sources and accumulate them into a unified report or analysis which can help the management to take actions in the right direction to improve the customer journey. For example, you should know how much average time is consumed by your call centre to solve an issue over the phone, or to provide support? How much time is required for the prospect to enquire through a phone and get the required information? Similarly for the website, no one wants to read ten or twenty pages to get the required information, if the required information is not available in a few clicks the visitor will simply close your webpage.

This data can be collected and analyzed effectively to reach a conclusion to take steps to improve the customer journey. The best method is to utilize KPI software. Not only call or website, but visits at the branch and all other touchpoints should be scanned to gather as much data as possible. These KPIs will help you evaluate your existing strategies and also point you to the directions for improvements in the customer journey.

Measure Customer Feedback and Satisfaction

Measuring direct customer feedback and taking their suggestions or feedback is a great way to measure customer satisfaction which is directly impacted by the customer journey. If the customer journey is better the customer satisfaction will be higher. A happiness meter can be placed in all strategic points to collect as much feedback as possible. The happiness meter or score scales can be published on the website, shared by the emails, SMS and social media as well to encourage more customers to share their opinions. This is a very direct measurement of customer satisfaction and all the data compiled from such feedbacks and surveys could be very helpful in taking steps and making up new strategies to improve the customer journey and customer experience.

It is important that you measure customer satisfaction score on various different touchpoints, this will help you further identify the problem in a particular area or a particular phase of the customer journey. This will also save a lot of additional efforts that are required to analyze the data and/or additional steps to precisely identify the problem.

Measure Customer Churn Rate and Improve Customer Journey

The customer churn rate is the customers who have cancelled their subscriptions, or services or products or returned the products or even the customers who made only one-time-purchase and never returned back. This is very important as customer retention and repeats business is very vital to ensure growth but if you are having the same number of active customer on a certain interval such as today and six months back then there is something wrong. It could be either your service delivery mechanisms, your product/service quality, your support or a lot many other factors. But is important to measure the customer churn and then compare different values at different time intervals and co-relate them with your corresponding efforts which were going on during those particular intervals.

This data and these types of analysis will not only help you improve the customer journey but will also help you improving and evaluating your marketing efforts. Like I said every action that you take in order to engage prospects and customers should have a reaction and the reaction will determine the effectiveness of your actions which in fact is your strategy and policy.

Measure Staff Performance and Improve Work Force

In order to improve the customer journey, a business must have an efficient workforce. The employee’s performance should be measured and improved in order to improve their work efficiency. This will overall improve the organization’s operational capabilities both in terms of finance and technical domains. Different types of KPIs should be set for different departments and their interaction with the customers and visitors. For example, if an average service delivery time for a particular service is five minutes once a customer or prospect is at the counter, and one or two employees are continuously showing more time is being consumed by them, then you should immediately check why this is happening, sometime it could be just a technical glitch or sometimes maybe it is lag of training. But since the KPIs are indicating that the employees are taking more time than anticipated for a particular service then there must be something wrong that has to be identified and rectified.

Business can arrange specialized training opportunities for their employees, they can improve internal IT infrastructure or anything which can normalize the things. This is very important as due to some rectifiable issue your customers are having a bad experience and your employees are unable to work on their full potential. Both are bad for the overall customer journey and customer experience.

Measure Net Promoter Score and Improve Customer Journey

The net promoter score is the mathematical probability of how likely a customer is willing to suggest your brand or products or services to others. It covers a quite broader spectrum. The customer endorsements can be measured through social media and their feedbacks. The business could directly ask them this question and learn about their responses and the reasons for their responses. For example, if a customer is more likely to suggest your particular product or service then you can understand why that is and vice versa.

This KPI will provide you with a greater understanding of your overall relationship with your customer and what you should expect in the future. If you are losing customers or if you are not having repeated business then the chances are very slim that any one-timer (the customer who make a purchase only once) will be going to recommend you as a brand of choice to anyone else.

The Net Promoter Score is a very serious indicator and it could impact the overall business in a very huge way. The net promoter score can only be improved by improving the customer journey and once you know and understand why your net promoter score is declining only than you can identify the causes and then take serious actions to rectify those causes.

What should I have in my Website of a Car Rental Company?

In Dubai, UAE millions of tourists and visitors arriving each year. Some of them are here for short term business trips, some are for leisure and vocations. Whatever the purpose is the people are coming here and the car rental industry is thriving, that is not all, in the local or residential population a lot of people occasionally rent out a car for certain reasons which is also helping the car rental industry to grow. The growth and expansion bring competition, what else could be the most effective way to beat a competition other than having a website on the internet?

There is a very common trend among the residents of Dubai, UAE that people tend to search online and whenever they need anything they immediately pick up their phone (if they are not already on it) and look it up on the internet. This further makes the website extremely important if you are aiming for long term success. You are not the only one who can grasp this public knowledge, there are others too, in fact, most business owners, entrepreneurs and industry leaders know the importance of the internet and a website. That is the reason we have decided to write on this topic and named it as “What should I have in my Website of a Car Rental Company?” It will help the car rental businesses to generate a steady stream of online prospects and customers through their websites.

A Great Web Design

The first and very important thing is the actual web design itself. Whenever someone will reach to your website, the very first impression they will perceive will have lasting effects. The most common mistake by car rental companies is that they have too many flashing ads, tickers, or pop-ups which are distracting, annoying and looks so unprofessional. The internet is not a new thing, everyone uses it, everyone is familiar with a lot many national and international brands they interact with over the internet on regular basis, some of them could cost millions to their respective businesses.

But don’t worry, I am not asking you to spare millions, but the one thing which we need to understand here is that those all “other” websites that people visit on regular basis are mostly of large corporations or eCommerce or government sites or hotel reservation or flight booking sites, all those websites are built on a certain structure with certain information to focus. And when it comes to renting a car, the people in their sub-conscious mind are also expecting a clean, helpful, easy to navigate and more importantly easy to understand website. So your design must be very customer-centric and should have nice and clean looking design elements that have a soothing impact on visitors’ eyes and user experience.

Smartphone Compatible or Responsive Web Design & Smartphone Applications

With the rise of large touch-screen enabled smartphones like Android and Apple iPhone, the general trend of internet surfing have changed worldwide. People tend to spend a lot of time on their smartphones, and for a car rental, it is very crucial to have a responsive web design. A responsive web design is very intelligently programmed in a way that it can sense the screen size and browser or in some cases the device type too and then the responsive web design can automatically re-arrange and re-size its components to render all the information in the right proportion.

This not only helps the user to navigate through the website from their smartphone devices more easily but it also maintains a similar user experience. And your user experience or user journey should be a very unique experience that a user can easily memorize and got familiar with. This will help you retain the existing customers too and the customers would also like to visit the site they have used once as they think they are familiar with the booking process and they know where all the relevant information can be found. This is what formed a user experience and it could be very beneficial for businesses in the longer-term.

Another excellent solution is to offer smartphone applications, but unfortunately, the new prospects are less inclined towards downloading new apps as everyone has a smartphone with limited memory. The smartphone applications are most common among the more frequent users, even then if they are using your services once or twice every year, they might prefer to stick to the website rather than downloading an application which they don’t require on regular basis. But it is always good to have extra ammo.

Essential Features and Functionalities

Now that we have already discussed the basics of the web design for a car rental website, now let us have a look at the functionalities and features that a car rental website should have in order to boost online sales and conversions.

Simple Booking Process

For a car rental website, the booking process should be as simple as possible. Most of the time the booking process involves too many questions and too many fields to fill, and even in some cases, there are too many checks and authentications on the input fields or in simple words limits on the input fields. These all things make the process lengthier, confusing, frustrating and annoying. Even some market data suggests that most of the customers prefer certain car rental websites due to their easier booking process. So, a simple booking process is key to success.

Online Chat and/or Chat Bots

Online Chats either by human or artificial intelligence is one of the great features to have. Try to appoint someone to answer the chats rather than an automated chat program. Whatever you do, an online chat really helps to gain the trust of the customer. These days, WhatsApp connectivity is also very common and very simple to integrate into websites. That could also help.

Customer’s Testimonials

Customer’s testimonials, endorsements and feedbacks are an excellent way to gain the trust of the online prospects. When people see other people giving positive feedback about a particular product or service they tend to consider it more than the one without endorsements. And that is true too, feedbacks and testimonials are the proof of superior service and great quality work.

Flexible and Customized Booking Plans

Another great competitive advantage is flexible booking plans with an additional feature to enable a customer to customize them as per their needs and requirements. Of course, this can only be planned with a critical thinking and foolproof strategy so that you don’t end up being less paid or less profited. But it surely helps, it encourage customers to book from your car rental website when they see you are allowing them to make up their own plans which align well with their needs.

Online Payment Gateway and Terms & Conditions

Ensure your customers that they are using a secure payment gateway while doing transaction from your website. Choose a payment gateway wisely which is popular worldwide and is also popular among your targeted audiences. So it looks familiar to them as well. Clearly describe your payment terms, cancellation policy and change request policies to prevent any confusion or complaint later. This will increase the trust of your customers.

Highlight Extra Services and Freebies

During the booking or better at the very initial stage of the booking, highlight the extra benefits and freebies or bonuses. For example, you can offer DVD players, on-board navigations, chauffeur service, baby seats, bonus miles or time, etc. Such things can significantly increase the conversion rate. When customers see special offers, bonuses and freebies they tend to convert more even if they think the price is a bit higher. It could really help to improve online conversions from a car rental website.

User Accounts and Profiles

Offer the visitors and prospects to sign-up for their user account and user profile, offer them some additional benefits if they signed up such as additional support or free newsletter or free announcements about the latest offers, etc. When a user signed-up for a car rental website the chances of them coming back again to utilize the same service is far higher than non-signed up customers. Provide them with a small, very simple to use the dashboard to get access to the information about their bookings, billings, records, etc.

Setup Auto Responders and Notifications

People love to get information, updates and notifications about the booking services. Set up automatic responders, notifications and auto-updates via Email or SMS or profile notifications. Keep them informed, let them know when the car arrived in front of their home, or at the airport or at the pick-up point. Send them a thanks message at the drop-off. These things will help car rental websites to build a positive brand identity and a good brand image among the customers.

Complaint and Feedback Section

Build a very active complaint and suggestion section on your car rental website. Try to capture as much feedback as you can. It will not only help you with improving your website but it will also help you with improving your services and customer experience. When a customer is asked for feedback they feel the brand cares for them. When the customers have a bad experience and they want to complain, they should be able to do so, so that they know how much you prioritize your customers and how serious you are to rectify those issues. This could really help to improve brand image and reputation.

Social Media Integration and Sharing Features

Built social media integration and sharing buttons so that your visitors and prospects can easily share your web pages, your plans, offers, etc with their friends, colleagues and family. This will further amplify your marketing activities without any additional cost. As we all know these days people tend to spend a lot of time on their social media and content sharing sites, so if they like something and have an option to share it with someone they will definitely do it. It will further improve your brand’s popularity and it will attract more customers.

Other Important Car Rental Website Features

The above all points are mostly customer-centric and are majorly related to customer experience and customer journey. There is a lot more that can be done to improve the business generation capabilities of a car rental website. Such as:

Search Engine Optimization or SEO

Search Engine Optimization or more commonly known as SEO is a very important aspect of any digital marketing campaign. Even if you are not doing any digital marketing campaign right now you might need one later. SERO friendliness or SEO compatibility of a car rental website will help to generate organic traffic. People tend to search in Google or other search engines, if your website is not built as per the standards and is not so friendly with Google and other search engines your business listing might not appear in the search results. Optimize your website for search engines and make sure your website is developed and programmed in a way that helps search engines reading its all content.

Analytical Tools and Customer Data Collection

It could help car rental businesses to understand their customers, their website’s usage such as at which page customers are spending most of the time, from which page from the purchase cycle the customers are leaving, and much more. This could help you identifying a lot many issues within your website which could later help you to improve everything.

Now as the digital became an indistinguishable part of our daily lives. The customer journey could be either virtual/digital or physical or a combination of both. Obviously, the B2B and B2C have different scenarios, completely different purchase cycles, a different set of customer touchpoints and interactions with the organization and a lot more, on the other hand, there are so many similarities too. The mapping of the customer journey is done using the same techniques and methods, and the anticipations and expectations could also be derived in a similar fashion to improve your customer journey. The customer journey is extremely important for both business models if they want to sustain their existing customers and also want to grow further.

Here are some of the benefits of improving the customer journey:

Build a unique brand Identity and Improve Brand Reputation

With constant analysis of the statistical data, feedbacks and the monitoring of the existing processes, an organization can do constant improvements in their customer journey and customer experience. The very collective form of customer experience is basically fragmented into tiny touchpoints, where a customer directly interacts with the organization or its staff or its any level of interface. These touchpoints or interactions have their own behavioural responses from the customers. These responses either could be positive or negative. There is nothing neutral or in-between state. It is a kind of binary system. It involves human psychology, and believe it or not the human interaction with a given set of problems under a controlled environment is very predictive, yet so complex to comprehend or measure by digits or linear scales.

However, these all interaction points or touchpoints can be sorted out in a list of positive or supportive and fluent customer journey checkpoints and the roadblocks or negative or unhappy customer experiences and touchpoints. Once you start rectifying those issues, you will start noticing the improvements in the customer journey and customer experience. This requires an investment of resources, time and labour. It will surely pay off. The improvements in the customer journey will create a unique customer experience that will be memorable for the customers and it will later help to build a strong and unique brand identity. Which will boost the brand’s reputation among the customers and targeted audiences.

Improved Customer Journey Improves Customer Loyalty

Once you start improving your customer journey and their interaction with your brand. You will surely notice a rise in customer loyalty. The business can improve customer sustainability and loyalty if they succeed in providing an excellent customer journey and a great customer experience. Each happy experience with your brand will increase the customer’s loyalty. Here it is also very important to understand the importance of bad customer experience and bad customer journey because for only one bad customer interaction you must have to provide three to five good experiences and interaction to negate the negative impact of the bad experience or bad customer journey. Which makes it even more important to have a better customer journey.

Once your customers start getting a good experience because of your improved customer journey strategy. A time comes when those happy customers will start advocating for your brand. Words of mouth are a very powerful and impactful real-world phenomenon. People tend to act on the suggestions of their family, friends, colleagues and people who they follow or trust upon. When your customers will start spreading good words about your brand either verbally or in social media enforcements it will immediately boost your customers’ loyalty. The customers who are already loyal to your brand will influence your other customers also to be more loyal to your brand. This works like a chain reaction, sometimes the results are slow and sometimes the results are like viral content or wildfire. The word could spread easily, good feedback from customers and other community members will improve their loyalty as well as it will improve other customer’s loyalty as well. Loyal customers are always a very strong base for any business’s growth.

Improve Service Delivery and Communication

The improved customer journey will help organizations in improving service delivery mechanisms. This will make the service delivery fast, efficient and more convenient for the customers. The wait time will be reduced, the customer flow will be improved and the staff at the branch will be satisfied too. This will lead to a very productive and customer-friendly environment which will improve the customer experience and satisfaction. Service delivery is a very important part of the customer experience. If your customer is not satisfied with the service they have received or how did they receive it, it could seriously harm your brand reputation and it would have a very bad impact on your growth.

A well-placed customer journey strategy also helps to improve the communication between the organization and the customers. There is no limit to communication channels that can be well utilized at different places during the customer journey and the organizations can benefit from them a lot. Communication is always a very strong and powerful factor contributing to sales and revenue generation. A better customer journey not only ensures an excellent customer experience but also enables the most effective communication channels.

Improved Sales and Higher Conversion Rate

No matter what channels you are using for marketing at the end of the day all the efforts would be measured on the scale of conversions. A better customer journey not only improves the customer experience but also improves brand reputation, brand image and brand trust among its customers and audiences. When a brand is commonly perceived as a trustworthy or a good quality business, their conversion rates start increasing in fact accelerating. The endorsements by customers, prospects and even social media play a great role in a brand’s success. This not only improve the conversion rate but it also increases the effectiveness of the marketing as well. As multiple organic sources are already adding up to the brand reputation then the efforts required for marketing and brand awareness would be less. In such cases, fewer efforts would return more.

If a prospect is already familiar with your brand and knows what you do and what you do is good, it will require fewer efforts to convince them to convert compared to the prospect who doesn’t know about your brand or in the worst case if a prospect had a bad brand image in his mind. In all different scenarios, a good brand reputation which results in a better customer journey could be very helpful in the increased sales and conversions rate whatsoever.

Better Crisis Management

This might sound unrelated but it isn’t. A better customer journey ensures a superior customer experience which improves customer loyalty, boost trust and add to the brand reputation. These factors collectively could be very helpful in crisis management. There are hundreds of examples of companies and businesses who had to face some kind of crises or interruption in the operations but still managed to retain their customers. That was all because their customers were happy and loyal and that was possible only because of their excellent customer journey management techniques and methodologies.

This kind of incidents could be due to a human error, a disaster, a crisis or any kind of scenario which has a huge impact on the business. It could cause a temporary halt in the operations, a marketing stunt going bad, a scandal or any of such sort. Anything which could literally tremble the ground beneath the brand. Whenever such an incident occurs only your loyal customers will going to save you. The customer who is loyal to the brands will not only stick with the brand but will also be willing to give another chance to the brand. This is what usually businesses and organizations never plan, but we know any such thing could happen. In any such incident or scenario, your loyal customer base will be Noah’s arch. This all relies on only a better customer journey management and strategy.

Conclusion

5 Qualities of a Good Website

What makes a website a good website? In this blog, we will enlist 5 qualities of a good website. Your website is not simply an online company profile or brochure. It is a very powerful marketing and communication tool. It can be used to make or ruin the brand reputation. The impact of a good or bad website is huge. Nowadays as everyone is more connected to the internet, people are looking up for anything to everything on the internet. Smartphones are also setting up new trends. In Dubai and the other Emirates of UAE, as the high-speed internet is in everyone’s reach and smartphones have become an essential part of our life, people tend to spend more time staying online and connected than ever before. Your website could act as your online brand identity and it could also be the very first brand impression to a larger audience. Hence, it has to be the best.

As there are tons and tons of ready-made website templates available, having a unique website that not only is capable of representing your unique brand identity but should also have the potential to attract more customers is a quite challenging task. In this competitive world, the customer’s expectations are very high, you must have to be unique in order to stand out. If you want to beat the competition your website must have to be unique and offer something which no one else is offering. This couldn’t be achieved with any off-the-shelf or ready-made website design template. It requires the mastery of marketing and superior website designing and development skills to produce a website that can turn your random visitors into a brand loyal customer.

Here are the 5 qualities of a good website:

1. Simple and Easy-to-use User Interface

Well, some of you must be thinking what is a user interface? Well, technically the definition of a UI or user interface is a point where machine and human interacts. However, in the websites, the user interface is the layout and design elements that interact with your website visitors and help them find the required information. The user interface is very basic and the most important aspect of a website. Any good web design agency in Dubai, UAE should know the importance of the user interface and the information structure of a website. This is what would be the fundamental scale of failure or success for any website.

The user interface should have to be interactive, reactive and easy to understand. For example, if a user has landed on your website while they were searching for a particular product, which you already have on your website but due to a miss-managed user interface that particular product is hidden under any tab, animation or it requires the user to click on a certain area or button to get appear, then forget about getting any leads related to that product. First of all, whenever a user lands on your website they immediately start looking for the information they were searching for, if you failed to present that information within a few first seconds, the user will be going to leave your website and start searching elsewhere.

2. Clear Call to Action (CTA)

Call to Action or CTA is a bit technical term, definitely, for each business, the call to action will be different for example, for an online library the call to action will be to get access to the books, but for an eCommerce website the call to action or CTA would be a purchase of an item. That is not all, for example, if you are operating in a service-based industry then your call to action would be “request for a quote” or a “call back request” or any such thing. Online registrations, online and offline subscriptions of the services and all those points where you are making a sale or achieving your sales target is called a call to action or CTA. Most of the time the CTA is just a button that then leads the customers to the actual conversion stage where a visitor turns into a customer. The importance of the call to action is often neglected but it is the most critical and important aspect of websites.

Before you expect a customer to click on your call to action button and perform whatever activity you want them to perform, you must have to understand that a good website must always offer a full customer journey which starts from providing information to sales pitches and then to the purchase or conversion. A good website always takes account of all these important points and take the visitors through a pre-defined customer journey that ends on the CTA or call to action. Another important thing is that your website should clearly provide the information and functionality of the CTA and the visitor should have to be fully aware of the results of hitting the CTA.

3. Smartphone Compatibility and Cross-Platform User Experience

Smartphones have surpassed the usage of conventional computers and are already dominating internet searches and online activities. A good website must have to offer a similar user experience on smartphone devices as well as on regular or conventional computers and screens. A responsive web design could resolve this problem. But it is not as that simple as it may sound. Having a responsive design is something else and having an equally effective responsive design is something else. The responsiveness of mobile-friendly or smartphone compatible websites are programmed differently than traditional websites. As technology has grown a lot, website designing and development tools have also modernized. A good responsive website is one that can maintain the same user experience on all devices and screen sizes. For example, if a user is familiar with your desktop/laptop website version they will go to expect similar elements in similar places and so on and so forth.

Apart from responsive websites, there is another less popular fact which most of the time customers and sometimes the website developers also ignore. It is cross-platform compatibility. As there are so many different smartphone and computer operating systems and web browsers and each one of them is slightly different from the other there must have to be a strength and quality in the website to perform in a similar way on all those platforms and devices. For example, the Google Chrome browser which is widely available in Android, Windows and Linux based operating systems and also for Apple OS (operating systems). It has different versions on different platforms, for example for Windows let say the latest version is 19 for Apple OS or MAC it could be 15 for Linux it might be 17 and for Android it could be 21, this is how different web browsers are distributed on different operating systems and platforms. Of course, there are certain limitations and privileges too which also vary from one platform to another, the website must be intelligent enough to handle all those versatilities in order to maintain its very unique user experience on all those different devices and platforms, this is what we call cross-platform compatibility.

4. Content and Multimedia

Most of the time all the textual information are considered to be the content and the pictures, images, videos, sounds, and animations are considered to be the multimedia of a website. It is extremely important that your website has a blend of all of these elements. The textual content includes all the titles, headings, sub-headings, lists, descriptions and details each webpage contains. It is highly recommended to have dedicated pages for each product or service. The most important page is the homepage of a website. It must contain a glimpse of all of your products/services so that whenever a user lands on it, they could easily judge what sort of products and services you are offering. Your taglines should have to be brief, appealing, and tempting. But do not use fake information or false claims. Try to keep your website’s content up-to-date and fresh. Provide precise and exact information. These days people usually don’t like to read much, so better make your content short and explanatory.

As the high-speed internet, powerful computing devices and the latest advancements in website development technologies made it a lot easier to offer multimedia content than ever before. People are more attracted to photos and images. Use them with a proper plan to enhance your customer journey. Try to use some animations and a few interactive features as well. This will keep the user’s interest live. But avoid excessive use of multimedia content, videos and animations. As the saying goes “excess of everything is bad”. But these animations, 3D effects, graphics elements and multimedia content will surely help you to improve the customer journey which will improve your conversion rate too.

5. Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

Search Engine Optimization or also known as SEO is also very important. As it could ensure a steady stream of visitors and potential customers to your website. Search Engine Friendly websites always perform well. There are a lot many things that you should consider while developing your website but there are a few that matters the most. Your website must have to be very user-friendly and interactive but make sure the content you are putting on your website is also equally visible for the search engines such as Google, Bing, Yahoo, etc. The search engines are not humans they are software powered by artificial intelligence and algorithms, they perceive things differently so there are certain tools and techniques to let them read and absorb as much of the content of your website as much possible. Here are a few things to consider:

The content should be in source code and not in videos or flash animations
The videos and photos should be marked with appropriate markers to highlight them
The webpages should support schema and structured data markers
Social media tags should be there for more visibility
The business or organization should be defined through the source code which is specifically designed for search engines
The website pages should be linked via proper navigational structure
The website load time should be as low as possible
The security parameters and markers should be available on the website

There a lot many more things that I wanted to list here, but I think it already got too technical. Anyway, there are so many things which is a customer you might not be able to understand but you should ask your web designing agency to keep a check on them. These things will definitely improve your search engine ratings, which are also considered by a large majority of customers as proof of good repute. It could not only help you get more prospects to your website but it will also help you to improve your brand trust and brand identity.

Benefits of Virtual Queue Management System

The virtual queue management system allows the customer to sign-up for a virtual queue without being present at a physical spot in the actual queue. This provides the freedom of waiting anywhere rather than standing in the long queue or sitting inside the waiting area. As we know the COVID-19 situation in the past year had led to enormous changes in our business practices and also in our daily lives. Social distancing and other precautions have become a norm now. The entire world had adopted and accepted the new lifestyle, although the COVID-19 is about to end the health consciousness that we have developed will surely going to help us lead a healthy life. This also causes an irreversible change in the business practices and methodologies and of course these all factors have changed the customer’s expectations and demands.

Business and organizations are innovating new methods and adopting high-tech solutions to satisfy their customers. Dubai and overall UAE are considered to be the pioneer of introducing the technologically advanced solution to not only GCC but to the entire world. For example, the Dubai Government have recently introduced contactless immigration gates at Dubai Airport, the passengers can do the process without even taking out their passports and Emirate IDs, all is contact-less, thanks to the forward-thinking of our leaders and the government entities involved in ensuring public health and safety. This is a great example of utilizing technology for the betterment of humanity.

The virtual queue management system has also gained popularity and we are witnessing a huge rise is virtual queuing solutions all over the country. The main objective was of course to maximize the customer experience and to improve the customer journey but it is also helping the businesses and organizations to develop trust among the customer’s and visitor’s to encourage them to visit the branches and offices by offering them social distancing and controlled environment inside the branch to ensure the health and safety. These features along with additional tools are very helpful for organizations to improve their customer experience and collect business intelligence to understand the new trends their customers’ needs and expectations.

Here are some of the benefits of a virtual queue management system:

Easy Customer Flow Management with Virtual Queue Management

The virtual queue allows your customers and visitors to sign-up for the queue while being away from the branch or office. There are several methods that can be provided to enable this functionality. The main advantage of having a virtual queue option for the customer is that they don’t have to be physically present at the branch. This means the customers can wait anywhere they want, or simply they can arrive at the branch at the very exact time their turn is. This requires an intelligent software engine that can accurately estimate the on-going queue activities to estimate the exact time for a particular customer and it should also be able to provide that information to your customers via any mean such as Email, SMS, in-app notifications, automated customer calls, etc. This helps the staff to easily manage and limit the number of customers in the branch to prevent crowed. It reduces workload and improve service delivery efficiency and also service quality.

Provide Remote Sign-up

Remote sign-up and mobile ticketing are the basics of virtual queue management systems. The customers can be provided with a platform that allows them to sign-up for a particular queue without being physically arriving at the branch. The remote sing-ups can be done through various methods, for example, SMS, Call, Email, website or web portal, and smartphone applications. Each method has different applications and can provide different helpful information to your customers and visitors. For example, if your customers are signing-up from an online portal or website, you can also provide them with information about the busy hours, or a total number of queues for the day or even for the entire week, so that your customers can freely choose an appropriate time. This enables your staff to control and manage the visitors and customers easily from their agent dashboard.

Provide Mobile Ticketing

The mobile-ticketing is a kind of new phenomenon, as we all know in a country like UAE who have a very advanced society with the latest technology in reach of everyone, the basic behaviour of the customers and even the general public got changed due to the vast integration of technology and IT in a common man’s life. Here in Dubai, we have witnessed that most people spend more time on mobile devices than on conventional computers while surfing the internet, using social media and communicating. This is why businesses and organizations should provide a mobile compatible communication channel to further facilitate their customers. Mobile ticketing reduces the work pressure on your staff and improves service quality and service delivery efficiency.

Mobile ticketing can be achieved by two methods, one is pretty simple and traditional which is SMS, and the second is more high-tech and advanced which is smartphone applications. Our virtual queue management system can also provide smartphone applications based dashboards to let your customers sign-up for the virtual queue from their smartphones. All the real-time updates and information can be provided within the smartphone applications, and various notification can be enabled for their queues, such as Push-Notifications, In-App notifications, SMS and Emails.

Provide QR Code Based Virtual Sign-ups and Virtual Queues

Another simple yet effective method for virtual queuing is to utilize the QR Codes. The QR Codes can be placed in various places such as the entrance of the building, parking lots, or at the gate of the office or branch, or even at remote locations as well. The customers and visitors can come and scan the QR code, the QR code will take them to a page, which will allow them to choose the required service, and then a mobile-ticket will be issued, along with the estimated time of their turn. Then the customers can decide if they want to wait in the car, or outside, or at their home, or elsewhere, this will also prevent crowding at the facility. Customers can be notified via email, SMS or notifications about their turn. The agents and staff have full control over allowing how many customers they can have for today or for any point in time to ensure better service delivery and improved customer experience.

Significant Reduction in Wait Time

One of the biggest advantages of having a virtual queue management system is that it literally eliminates the wait time or reduce it to a minimum. This help the business and organizations to establish good relationships with their customers as well as it also helps to improve staff efficiency. As the customers and visitors have freedom of singing-up remotely. IT means they are not bound to physically be present at the branch to wait in the physical queues. In the service-based industry, one of the biggest problems is the wait time, it, directly and indirectly, hurts the brand reputation.

For example, there is a customer waiting for almost an hour in the waiting area, he is already annoyed, he went to a counter where an agent has already dealt with around 50 customers till now and is still watching around 50 more in the waiting area, although the agents and staff are well trained still they are human, they will going to feel the pressure of the workload. This scenario could lead to the relatively poor performance of the entire branch and of course unhappy customers, which could ruin the brand reputation. So a reduction in wait time not only benefit your customers but also helps businesses to attain a maximum efficiency of their staff and altogether it results in superior service quality and great customer experience.

Better Communication

A virtual queue management system not only improves service delivery and customer flow management but also has the potential to provide a great communication channel to your customers. Especially the online queuing, web portal, and smartphone applications can provide a direct interface to communicate with your customers directly. They not only help streamline the customer flow at the pre-service time but after the service delivery, the businesses and organizations can utilize the same platforms to collect customers’ feedback. Which can provide valuable business insight to help the organization and businesses to further improve their services, service delivery mechanisms and much more. The customers can be provided with real-time updates on various platforms which enable them to monitor their queue in real-time and it further helps reducing the wait time.

When the customers are requested to opine or comment about their experience and service quality, they feel a sense of care and trust. It is not necessary that all of your customers will provide you with the feedback but it is certain that all of them will be going to appreciate it. This help establishing a trust factor among the brand and the customers and it also helps to improve the repute of the brand. The data collected from customers’ feedback is extremely important too, it helps business and organizations to understand the market trends, their customers’ expectations and preferences.

Collect Valuable Business Intelligence

A queue management system makes it a lot easier to capture valuable statistical and usage data, customer feedback and tracking of KPIs (key performance indicators). Whether it is a virtual queue management system or any other simple digital queuing solution in order to meet the minimum industry standards it should be able to provide comprehensive reporting and customer data. Now, when it comes to the virtual queue management system, the data capturing and customer data collections become a lot easier and more efficient. As different modules, such as virtual sign-ups, customers portals and interfaces, mobile applications and other features help to improve customer happiness and satisfaction on the other hand the utilization of all these features allow the business and organizations to capture more data and prepare actionable reports. These reports and usage data can offer a completely different level of business intelligence without any additional cost. The organizations and businesses can use that business intelligence for:

Understanding Market Trends
Customers’ Likes and Dislikes
Customers’ Expectations
Customers’ Feedback
Staff Efficiency
Branch Performance

Help Maintaining Social Distancing

Our virtual queue management system help organizations and businesses to maintain social distancing at their branch by proving flexible controls to the staff to control the number of customers inside the branch by limiting and controlling the customer flow. Moreover as the virtual queuing enables the customers and visitors to sign-up remotely, hence they don’t necessarily have to wait inside the branch. Which automatically help the staff to keep the number of visitors and customers to a certain level. As we all know the government of UAE and regional governments have zero-tolerance policies for social distancing which is another reason why UAE was considered among the best countries to effectively fighting the COVIS-19 scenarios. The virtual queue management system also helps business and organizations to implement social distancing policies effectively and efficiently.
