Queue Management
Research and experience have shown that customers will often leave a store without making a purchase rather than stand in a long or slow moving check-out line. Despite advancements in technologies designed to decrease wait times, queue management remains a challenge for every retailer. The universal truth is that when queues are not managed well, the result is unhappy customers, lost sales, lower customer satisfaction, and loss of loyalty.
Retailers have been trying to measure and manage queues and customer wait times for years. Historically this has required the use of expensive, inaccurate, and unreliable methods such as entrance/exit traffic counters, industrial engineering studies, and customer satisfaction surveys.
Despite all these efforts, today's retail shoppers remain largely dissatisfied with their shopping experiences. The good news is that the answer to the problem is already right there in the store. The trick is to collect and report that information in a way that can be acted upon.
