Cities moving to Electronic Sign In

Cities moving to Electronic Sign In Municipals reducing overhead with Touch Screen Reception

A growing amount of cities and municipals have started increasing their efficiency when dealing with the public. Using touch screens as electronic sign in systems is a new way of getting the public to their destination quicker. As a person enters the building they are greeted with a touch screen that allows them to notify a department or specific person that they need services. The person or department then receives an alert at their desktop that someone is waiting. The alert is sent without the need for a receptionist.

While some predicted this would loose personal touch to the customer experience, it actually has shown to be more effective and therefore a better experience for the customer. The customer does not have to go through two or three people to get to the right person. Instead they can notify the correct department the second that they walk in, avoiding any line at a receptionist. Having the right person approach the customer the first time reduces wait times and frustration.

Management loves the idea of elctronic sign in sheets for several reasons. First is the reduction of overhead. Taking a load off the receptionist frees that person for more complex issues and duties. Another reason is the statistical data gathered from dates, times and reasons for visit. With electronic sign in the documentation of wait times, volume and traffic flow helps in budgeting and staff management.

A growing number of cities, counties and other municipals are incorporating the touch screen customer check in systems. These customer queueing systems have proven invaluable in the tax and tag agencies of Florida. Recently the City of Rock Hill, SC and City of Tulsa, Oklahoma implemented the Customer Check In System for the utility departments while LaPorte County Indiana has installed them for the court system in multiple cities.
