Trident Technical College (TTC), a prominent hub for tech enthusiasts and professionals, is dedicated to providing top-tier services and support to its students. To address the growing challenges of long wait times and inefficient service management, TTC implemented Wavetec’s Virtual Queue system. This case study explores the features and impact of the Wavetec Virtual Queue system on improving customer experience at TTC.
The Challenge
Prior to implementing the Wavetec Virtual Queue system, TTC encountered several issues:
- Prolonged wait times for students needing technical support and consultation services.

- Scheduling Appointments:
- Students can schedule appointments for services that typically have longer wait times or higher demand, ensuring timely assistance.
- Real-Time Notifications:
- Students receive real-time updates about their position in the queue via SMS or the web portal, keeping them informed and reducing uncertainty.

- Queue Management:
- Cancel Anytime: Students can cancel their queue number at any time by sending an SMS if they no longer need the service.
