The quality of customer service is directly linked to the experience of frontline employees. Disorganized operations, confusing queues, and manual processes overwhelm teams and negatively impact customer satisfaction. On the other hand, when employees have smart tools and processes, they can work more fluidly, productively, and with greater engagement.

In this article, we will explore how to simplify your employees' routine and improve customer service, with practical tips and innovative technologies that transform operations.

The importance of a well-organized operation

A smooth operation benefits not only the customer, but also the team. Employees who work in an organized environment with access to efficient tools tend to feel more satisfied, productive, and motivated.

According to employee experience studies, companies that invest in appropriate tools and processes observe:

• Reduction in waiting times for service.

• Increased customer and employee satisfaction.

• Better team performance and lower turnover.

But how can these improvements be implemented?

1. Organize queues with self-service kiosks

Self-service kiosks are indispensable allies for optimizing queue management. They allow customers to check in or obtain tickets without the need for manual interaction with staff.

Benefits of self-service kiosks:

• Reduced queues at reception.

• More autonomy for customers.

• Relief in employee workload.

NextQS totems are a practical and efficient solution: in addition to being simple to operate and install, they can be fully customized with your company's visual identity, including colors and logo, ensuring an experience aligned with your brand.

2. Invest in Smart Check-In

Smart check-in allows your customers to register information in advance through different channels, self-service kiosks, or directly from their mobile phones. This solution is ideal for reducing waiting and service times, offering greater agility.

Advantages of Smart Check-in:

• Fast service: your customers can enter the necessary information even before they are served.  

• Secure data collection: ensure the privacy of your customers' information.

• Team productivity: early data collection and the feature that allows you to copy information easily makes your team's work easier.

• Secure lead export: transfer the collected data to your marketing actions.

3. Manage priorities and workflows efficiently

Smooth service requires a system that allows managers to control priorities and flows flexibly .

Essential features:

• Priority setting: Preferential service for the elderly, pregnant women, and emergencies.

• Direct calls: Possibility to call a specific customer out of sequence.

• Redirection and callbacks: Forwarding customers between different departments or teams.

These features help personalize customer service while keeping operations organized and transparent.

4. Customize the call via TV

The customer experience is directly impacted by clear communication. A system of personalized calls by customer name via TV is essential to improving this interaction.

Benefits of personalized calls:

• Clarity when calling customers by name or password.

• Optional voice prompt (voice call) to reinforce communication.

• Display of additional information on TVs, with digital signage integrated into the call panel.

This feature reduces confusion and improves the perception of organization in the service environment.

5. Monitor, evaluate, and adjust with reports

Managers who have access to real-time data can make faster and more assertive decisions. Monitoring team performance and operational efficiency is essential for identifying bottlenecks and adjusting processes.

Essential tools for managers:

• Real-time monitoring: View service flow and identify peaks in demand.

• Detailed reports: Analyze average service time, satisfaction rates, and efficiency.

• Performance evaluation: Identify areas for improvement for specific team training.

How do best practices benefit the team and the customer?

When the operation is well planned and supported by technology, everyone wins. Here's how:

Benefits for employees:

• Reduction of operational stress.

• Fewer unnecessary interruptions, thanks to automation.

• Greater engagement because they work in an efficient environment.

Benefits for customers:
