Advantages of Smartix Telegram bot
Using Telegram for e-queue priority notifications can significantly improve customer service. The functionality, for example, simplifies the waiting process for bank visitors — the client does not need to be in the office or near the reception desk, he receives prompt notifications and can go about his business.
In an electronic queue via smartphone for restaurants and cafes, groups of people with different numbers of people take their position in the queue. Administrator invites them not in order of occupancy of the queue, but in accordance with the table available according to the number of seats for more complete seating. Telegram bot ensures comfortable waiting for people in line for a table suitable for them with a certain number of people. They no longer need to be physically present with the administrator.
Telegram bot completely changes the concept of long waits, for example, for unloading goods in a warehouse. In some cases, drivers are in line for several hours and they are happy to spend this time resting after the road and notifications in Telegram will tell them in advance when it is their turn to unload.
