The Challenge
The branch lobby is where loyalty leaks away
Long waits and wrong-desk routing send customers to the app — and to competitors. Qwaiton fixes all four.
Wrong-desk routing
A mortgage question lands at a cash teller — then has to queue all over again.
✓ Skills-based specialist routingAppointment no-shows
Advisory slots go empty while walk-ins pile up in the lobby.
✓ Reminders & unified walk-in queueNo view across branches
Head office can't see which branch is drowning until the complaints arrive.
✓ Network-wide live dashboards

The lunch-hour rush, before and after
Everyone banks on their lunch break, so the branch fills in fifteen minutes. Here's how that half hour feels for your customers and your team today — and once Qwaiton is routing the floor.
One rope line, every request
- A single line snakes to the door — deposits stuck behind a business loan that takes 20 minutes.
- Two tellers are slammed while the advisor sits idle, unseen behind a closed door.
- A booked mortgage client arrives and waits anyway, wondering why they made an appointment.
- Three customers give up and finish on the app — you never learn what they needed.
→ A packed lobby, a one-star review, and a missed advisory sale.
The right desk, first time
- Everyone picked their reason at check-in; quick deposits fly through a fast lane.
- The idle advisor is auto-assigned the waiting mortgage client — no closed-door guessing.
- The booked client is called on time by name and shown straight to the right specialist.
- Waiting customers sit or step out — a text says "You're next — Desk 3."
→ A calm branch, a booked advisory meeting, and a customer who stays.

FAQ
Banking queues, answered
How does Qwaiton route customers to the right banker?
At check-in, customers pick a reason for their visit — a deposit, a loan, business banking or advisory. Qwaiton routes them to a teller or specialist with the right skills and availability, so no one waits at the wrong desk.
Can customers book branch appointments in advance?
Yes. Customers self-book advisory or account appointments online 24/7, get automated reminders that cut no-shows, and check in from their phone on arrival — walk-ins and appointments share one fair queue.
Is Qwaiton secure enough for banking?
Yes. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, public displays use ticket numbers instead of names, and access is role-based. Talk to us about SSO, audit logs and compliance documentation.
Does it work across a branch network?
Every plan supports centralized management: separate queues per branch with roll-up analytics, so head office sees every location's wait times and staffing on one dashboard.
Do we need special hardware in the branch?
No. Qwaiton is cloud-based — customers check in on their own phones, and any existing tablet or TV becomes a kiosk or a live display. See our queue management system for the full feature set.

Before you decide
The quick answers that usually come up right before starting a trial.
Do I need a credit card to start?
No. Your 14-day free trial needs no card and no commitment — just an email to get in.
How long does setup take?
Most teams are live the same day. Create your first queue in minutes — no hardware or IT project required.
What happens after the 14 days?
Pick a plan (from $50/mo) if it’s working for you, or the trial simply pauses. We never auto-charge a card you didn’t enter.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes — there’s no lock-in. Cancel with one click whenever you like and your data stays yours to export.
Does it integrate with my tools?
Yes. Qwaiton connects with Zapier, Zoho, GoHighLevel and Tomedo, so it fits the stack you already run.
Is my data secure?
Your data is encrypted in transit and at rest, handled with GDPR and consent in mind, and never sold.
