Helping students to access services on busy university campuses

Remove lines from the student experience on campus. Here’s how it works:

1

Students join the line from their mobile device or self-serve kiosk and move freely while they wait.

2

WaitWell lets students know their position in line and estimated wait time.

3

Students get a notification on their mobile device when it’s their turn for service.

Your queue management system should do more than just get rid of lineups. It’s all about optimizing service delivery on campus. Make service better for everyone, with WaitWell.

WaitWell was super easy for our staff to learn. I do think it helps us provide a better experience for students in accessing our services, allowing us to think about how to staff based on the types of inquiries we have.”

Deb Little, Director of Student Services at the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology

Simplify service for staff and students

Digitize sticky notes

WaitWell Notes means staff can share critical details with co-workers without having to leave their computer.

Put students on hold

Sometimes students arrive unprepared for service. With WaitWell, you can put them on hold and they can put themselves back in queue when ready for service.

Transfer students

WaitWell makes it simple to transfer tickets to the service provider best able to help. Transfer tickets between locations on campus.

Splash pages

Put key messages in front of students when they join the queue by adding a splash page to the kiosk or join page. Use for urgent notices, advertising or cross-promotion.

Put appointment scheduling in the hands of your students

Free up staff time

WaitWell makes it simple for visitors to make, change and cancel their own appointments.

Reduce no-shows

When students are able to schedule their own appointments, they are less likely to change or cancel. This helps reduce no-shows and ensures staff aren’t waiting on students.

Self-serve check-ins

Students with appointments add themselves to the queue by responding to a confirmation text.

Automate reminders

Calling students to remind them of their appointments takes up valuable time. WaitWell sends students automated reminder emails or texts

Remove lineups from the student experience on your busy campus

It is no secret that universities are under pressure to deliver better service to more students each year. Without an efficient workflow management system in place, this environment can be overwhelming for staff and students, especially at peak times. WaitWell workflow management simplifies service delivery at student admissions offices and anywhere else students usually have to wait for service.

Students have several options for joining the line or making an appointment:

  • self-serve kiosk
  • SMS text
  • scan a QR code
  • join from website
  • add by staff member

Once they have joined the line, students are able to move freely around campus while they wait for service. The WaitWell status page keeps them informed about their position in line and current wait time. With communication templates tailored to each service, students arrive prepared and on-time for service. This makes service faster and less stressful for everyone.

With service analytics, it is easy to make data-informed decisions about operations and staffing. Disorganized offices are an issue of the past with WaitWell’s intelligent workflow management.

WaitWell optimizes service delivery for registrars, academic advising, health services, bookstores and anywhere else service is delivered on campus.

“WaitWell provides benefits for both staff and students, and that’s kind of the perfect solution. Often we’re looking at changes that are really good for the student, but make it harder for our staff. And this is one of those situations where the system is good for everyone all around.”
