Use this checklist to specify what you will actually use. People forgive a wait they can see the order of. Read on: it takes a few minutes and could save you a lot more than that. **In this guide you will see:** - Match the features to your queue, not the brochure. - Priority rules and transfers matter in most sites. - Reports are what turn a queue into a managed process. Quick answer When specifying queue software, check the number of services and counters it supports, priority and VIP rules, ticket transfer between counters, voice and language options, display layouts, reports on waiting and service times, SMS and mobile tickets, multi-branch management, feedback and integration with other systems. Tick what you need and ask suppliers to quote against the same list.
