A Smarter Way to Wait: Redefining the Customer Experience

Transforming how people wait in line is no longer optional. Whether at a clinic, government office, university, or retail store, customers expect speed, clarity, and convenience. The traditional physical line fails on all three counts, creating friction and frustration.

A Smarter Way to Wait

Qanty replaces the frustration of physical lines with a digital experience. When customers arrive, they can easily take a ticket from a kiosk, scan a QR code, or join the queue online using their phone. Once in line, Qanty keeps them informed in real time—showing estimated waiting times, current position, and even notifications when it’s almost their turn.

This empowers visitors to relax, move freely, or prepare for their appointment instead of standing and waiting.

The True Cost of Waiting?

Studies show that 75% of customers are only willing to wait a maximum of 5 minutes. Long wait times are consistently rated the #1 frustration in service experiences.
