Queue Management System

ZAIN (Saudi Arabia) is one of the three GSM providers in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Being the last to enter a competitive market ZAIN required a robust technology provider to ‘turn-heads’ for their marketing and retail front. WAVETEC proved to be the ideal choice assisting ZAIN in launching what is easily the most technologically advanced and dazzling Retail outlets in the GCC. ZAIN Flagship- Retail and Customer Service centers are located in all the major cities of KSA. With three launched and another 5 upcoming locations this year ZAIN has chosen to uniquely position its signature brilliant look in all metro areas big and small. WAVETEC was tasked with providing a breathtaking WOW look together with significant purpose behind each device. This proved to be right up WAVETEC’s domain expertise when exciting display technology was blended with universal Content Management and Customer Flow control. For the display solution, WAVETEC provided ZAIN with a solution that included, One giant Indoor LED Screen, One Outdoor LED animated logo, Dual Side Custom Shape High Resolution Indoor LED Screens, Dual Side Two Dimensional Full Color LED Tickers for Text Messages, Three 42″ HD Touch Screen Kiosks and a specially designed Borderless LCD screen with a 4 x 4 Video Wall Matrix. All these systems were linked with WAVETEC’s signature Content Management Software Suite that streams optimized content on these varied displays. WAVETEC provided ZAIN with an Electronic Queue Management System (EQMS) which allows it to monitor and manage the customer flow of all its Flagship stores nationwide. WAVETEC EQMS has helped ZAIN in managing its customers and staff, enhancing their customer service significantly. The EQMS incorporates ZAIN trademark green color instead of boring red text displays. The Custom ZAIN chime is heard when calling customers to be serviced. The system is also equipped with an automated Azaan. As ZAIN does not use standard PC’s in the Flagships another challenge was to utilize thin clients systems for calling customers to the service counters. WAVETEC provided ZAIN with its Thin Client TSU which can run flawlessly on devices cloud based operating environments thereby exceeding ZAIN requirements. WAVETEC was able to provide ZAIN with a highly customized queue management system only because of its unique capability to deliver exactly what the customer requires.

Electronic Queue Management Solution for Zain

WAVETEC installed an Electronic Queue Management System (EQMS) for ZAIN which consists of different electronic and software components that make up this single solution. All the menus and announcements can be multi-lingual, in this case, English and Arabic. The eQ Touch Screen Kiosk – Ticket Dispensing Unit (TDU) featuring Redundant Dual Printers provides a modern interface for dispensing tickets to customers. ZAIN has a massive advantage that if one of the printers fails to print due to technical issues the second printer acts as a backup and ensures smooth operations. The Touch Screen Kiosk TDU can accommodate over 60 service categories which can be added instantly. One can even show eye-catching, dynamic promotional messages to captivate the audience. Multiple screens can be used to guide customers step-by-step throughout the process making it easy for them to transact. ZAIN’s management can add as many categories they want on the kiosk to identify customers and prioritize them. LCD screens with customized content management were deployed in the waiting area. The screens are easy to read and display tickets which are called at different counters. The screen can be configured using specialized schedules so that ZAIN can display its upcoming promotions or other content on these screens along with ticket information. In addition to the Waiting Area Display, the customer’s ticket number will also flash on the Counter Display Unit (CDU) in Zain Green, which has been placed strategically on the counter on which the customer is being called to. An audio announcement with the custom Zain Chime is also made for the respective ticket number when it flashes on the CDU calling out the number of the ticket to be served. The system also has an Automated Azaan Feature which plays the Azaan during Azaan timings and mutes audio announcements. The web based TSU is a Teller Station Unit that allows the counter staff to call the next customer waiting in line after they’re done serving the previous customer. It provides a visually appealing interface with numerous easy to use buttons for all the TSU features and various additional functions such as Wait, Transfer, Random Call, Priority Call, Recall etc. This gives the option to ZAIN’s staff to override the automatic calling system if the need arises. eQwave Central Reporting System allows controlling and monitoring the queuing process and its various modules over the nationwide Network. eQwave Reporting Software also generates all the customer service records from all remote locations in real-time for the senior management of ZAIN at their Head Office.
