           Smartsoft® ... Queue Management software

Smartsoft® is our comprehensive range of software modules developed by Alex and Clive Simmens. These sophisticated modules can be simply installed on standard office PCs to provide a stand-alone Queue Management system or they can be accessed by an existing CRM program to build a unified system.

Many Local Authorities already have Queue Management hardware installed and would wish to incorporate this in their design layout. As more than half the Local Authorities in the UK already use our System 16 hardware, it is easy and cost-effective to upgrade these hardware systems with our Smartsoft® modules to add multi-lingual speech, LCD display screens, kiosks with touchscreens and POS ticket printers. And, of course, these Queue Management systems can also connect to any existing or future CRM system.

Any Local Authority that would prefer to put together their own Queue Management system by independently purchasing PCs, LCD screens, printers and a CRM system will find our Smartsoft® range can provide everything needed to get a Queue Management system up and running smoothly, safe in the knowledge that you have the back-up of the longest established Queue Management design team in the UK.

Smartsoft® Queue Management systems can be found in Local Authorities across Wales and the West Country and the links below will direct you to our recent Case Studies.
