Summary
To address this issue, Barbershop Co decided to create a virtual queueing app. The app allows users to virtually queue in line for a haircut and see how long the current wait time is, as well as when the barber will be ready to cut their hair.

The Features
Virtual queueing:
Users can join the virtual queue for the next available barber.
Wait time estimation:
Users can see the estimated wait time based on the number of people currently in the queue and the average service time.
Notifications:
Users receive notifications when they are next in line and when the barber is ready to cut their hair.
Booking history:
Users can view their booking history and rate the service they received.
The Implementation
The app was designed with a simple and intuitive user interface that allows users to quickly join the virtual queue and see the estimated wait time. The app also includes a feature that allows users to rate the service they received, which helps Barbershop Co to improve the quality of their services.

The Results
Putti successfully built a custom system that allowed Barbershop to synchronize all customers across Vend PoS system, Shopify and Mail Chimp. This allowed Barbershop to have a single integrated customer database to use for both POS, online purchasing and marketing. Putti also developed a system that allowed them to collect aggregated financial reporting from the multiple Vend and franchise accounts giving them a single view of the business in real time. We continue to build out features for Barbershop as they explore benefits of the solution.
