QLess
QLess specializes in queue management and appointment scheduling software. Through queue management software, customers are empowered to wait wherever they want: at home, work, or even Starbucks – instead of a crowded lobby. To begin, customers join a virtual queue online. They are given a wait time forecast and timely notifications alert customers as they move to the front of the queue. With appointment scheduling software, customers book an appointment for a future day and time. Meanwhile, you are able to accept walk-ins as schedule openings occur. As the time of the customer’s appointment approaches, QLess automatically places the customer in the virtual queue of your software. Interactive appointment scheduling software offers bi-directional communication, connecting your staff with customers. If a customer is running late, they can request more time. Likewise, your staff can notify the customer if your office is behind schedule.
