Preamble
The International Organization for Migration (IOM) wishes to have a queue management solution installed for its Migration Health Assessment Center (MHAC) in Abuja. The solution should serve their customers with tickets and ticket numbers as they enter the MHAC and the number be displayed on various screens as they traverse the clinic’s service units. The solution should provide for a ticket to be transferable to any counter without having the client pick another ticket and the last service offered should be the end of the ticket.

The required solution should have reporting indicators that is able to generate daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, biannually etc. performance reports of all the multiple customer relations counters, the average waiting time, and other functionalities available. The more the functionalities the better.

  • Once a client has picked ticket and proceeds to a counter to be served, the same ticket should be transferable to other counter based on the next service needed without the client having to pick a new ticket. The transfer should be simple and user friendly. Once the client has been fully served, the ticket should be completed. (Ability to provide an end-to-end customer experience from start to finish)
  • Solution should have response limit time ability to put on pending – hold – or delayed and transfer the ticket until served.
  • Should have feature for online customer feedback evaluation.
  • Should be able to separate the different departments in the clinic as per the client workflow and give reports for each department as well. Note the various waiting areas as per flow charts below, that are either standalone or some existing in groupings. A customer will transition from one service centre to another but often though the waiting area of the next service. Waiting area will have 1 or more displays and announcing system depending on size. Two (2) waiting areas that are an extension should have display and ticket announcement systems synchronized. IOM staff should also be allowed to make ad hoc announcements.
  • Should be web-based system, no need to install applications on user’s computers.
  • Should have after sales services, onsite support, and offer training services as part of the customer support.
  • Customers seeking service have already booked and paid for the service, the system should allow us to connect a customer booking to a ticket and allow us query status as per booking reference or customer names.
  • Services offered depend on various factors, one of them being travel destination. The system should allow a customer to skip services which are not mandatory for his travel destination but are for another destination; such dynamics need to be factored.
  • Supervisors managing workflows will need to view queue build up in various service points to make decision on corrective measures.
