Queue Supervision
Seeing your queue while it fills, not the next day in a report. How many callers are waiting, for how long, who is free and who is not: the screen updates itself. It is what lets you call in help before customers hang up, rather than noting the abandon once it has happened.
How it works
- 1The screen shows the company's queues, each with its waiting callers and the people signed in.
- 2For each caller you see how long they have waited and where they stand in line.
- 3For each adviser you see whether they are free, on a call, on a break or signed out.
- 4The figures of the moment sit alongside: calls taken, calls abandoned, average wait.
- 5A supervisor can put someone back on duty or on a break from the screen.
- 6Everything refreshes on its own: no key to press to see the real situation.
Use cases
- Reception overflowing at lunchtime: you watch the queue grow and move someone across before people hang up.
- Customer support: spotting the caller who has waited six minutes and having them taken first.
- A team across two sites: knowing who is actually free, whichever building they are in.
- End of day: seeing who is still signed in before closing the queue.
- Training a new adviser: following their load and stepping in when they are swamped.
- Wall display: the queue permanently visible to the whole team.
Benefits
- The real state of the queue, live, with nothing to refresh.
- Each caller's waiting time, not just an average.
- Each adviser's state: free, on a call, on a break, signed out.
- The ability to act from the screen rather than walking across the office.
- The figures of the moment next to the situation, to decide with both.
- A display readable from a distance, usable on a wall screen.
Examples
- Half past eleven: the queue goes from two to seven callers, the supervisor puts two people back on duty and the wait drops within four minutes.
- A caller has been waiting eight minutes: they are spotted on screen and taken first, before they give up.
- Support wall display: the queue, the wait and the day's abandons, visible to the whole team.
