Great tool and great service for a great price!

“We are using Simplybook for our local fashion store. Customers can now make an appointment online, come to the store and will be served personally by one of our fashion consultants. Right now in corona times it helps us a lot to a) channel customer volume and b) provide the best service possible. The tool is quite intuitive, the help center page provides you with any neccessary information for setting up the tool exactly the way you need and the live help chat is very quick and always helpful. Great tool and great service for a great price!”

Reducing Contact & Relieving Queues

The problem today for grocery stores, supermarkets, hypermarkets, and pharmacies across the world is that customers arrive at any point in the day, and often have to stand in long waiting lines for an unknown length of time. They have no indication of how long they will queue for, or how long the shopping trip will take. At the same time, the usual busy periods still apply for those who are working from home, older and more vulnerable groups might need a separate time to complete their shopping, and curfews and restricted movement mean that customers only have a short time to shop. These issues are very inconvenient for the customers who suffer from poor service and the retailers that have to enforce these measures.

The problem

Sequential Multi-Attendance Queueing

SimplyBook.me has created a Sequential Multi-Attendance queueing system that allows customers to book a suitable time-slot. Clients will love knowing they have secured a time-slot and won’t have to wait in line, or worse, drive around different stores to find the shortest queue. All you need to do is to add a “Book” button in your client app, on your website and even on your social media platform so that clients can easily find where to book.

The solution

How Does It Work?

The store determines the customer capacity and flow, and how many people can be in the store at once. This figure allows the store to determine how many people can book into a single time-slot, minus the number of staff. The store also determines the length of a time-slot based on average time it takes shoppers to shop.

Add a Simple Booking Widget

You add a booking widget to the store’s main website; this is where clients can book their suitable time-slot for going to the store, while still safely at home. On confirming a time-slot, the customer will receive a ticket that they can either print or keep on their smartphones that they can present at the store. Just as importantly, the customers will receive a reminder to let them know their shopping slot is upcoming so they aren’t late. When they arrive, they will bypass the queue of customers who didn’t book a slot online, show their ticket or mobile screen to the door staff controlling entry, who will scan and validate it with a mobile device, and enter the store. No touching necessary.

Rapid queue reduction

If there is room for more people to enter the store, the waiting line of clients that did not book a slot to enter, can enter to fill up the store. This line is due to get shorter very quickly as clients will start to appreciate being able to arrive at a convenient time, knowing that they will be able to quickly enter the store.

What is the Sequential Multi-Attendance
queueing system?

Sequential Multi-Attendance queueing is a system with which you can define slots throughout the working day and allocate the maximum number of people who can enter the premises during a defined slot. For supermarkets and larger stores, this type of queueing system is the only viable option that makes good business sense. Not only can you offer your customers a better service, you can also better organise staff distribution in stores, and create better shelf restocking procedures, according to client load and flow.
