1. About Qudini (for those not involved in our demo)


Qudini offer a cloud-based SaaS based platform that enables enterprise organizations with stores and contact centers to improve customer experience, to better manage their operations and to capture data on their business. Our core solutions include: a virtual queue management system, appointment booking software, event booking software and task management software. 


Qudini is a hardware agnostic company and provides software that can be used on a wide range of devices meaning you are not tied into any specific hardware and have the freedom to choose the hardware that suits your use case. 

As a cloud-based platform Qudini is also very simple to deploy remotely across thousands of stores at once. As the platform can be seamlessly accessed from any desktop, tablet or smartphone device via our browser interface or through downloading our native IOS and android apps.






2. Store Associate Device Compatibility and Deployment Resources


Your store associates can access Qudini on a desktop tablet or smartphone to manage customers that have joined the virtual queue or scheduled an appointment.


Our flexible functionality enables you to have a number of different operational set-ups in which just one or multiple store associates can access the Qudini platform across different devices. Typical operational set-up we see include:

  • 1) One or more Hosts/Shop floor managers only access Qudini to centrally add and manage the store's customers alongside store occupancy and all their colleague's interactions, OR;


  • 2)  Hosts/Shop floor managers access Qudini to add and manage customers. While individual store associates also access Qudini to call forward and serve customers, OR;


  • 3) No host/shop floor manager and all store associates can access Qudini to call forward and serve customers that have joined the queue by themselves.



These are the devices we support.

To use Qudini on a desktop your stores, head office and contact centers simply need to go to: App.qudini.com (Or your custom Qudini domain if you are using our virtual private cloud hosting offer).


If you have website restrictions within your stores you may need to whitelist our platform. 


This Whitelisting Information document contains everything you need to do so.




Network Requirements


Qudini requires a stable internet connectivity either via WiFi or Ethernet. A store with 10 users can comfortably use Qudini on line with 5Mbps available bandwidth. 

We recommend devices such as kiosks and TV's be connected via Ethernet rather than Wifi to prevent any issues with dropouts due to local wifi issues. 

If your store networks have restricted access then you may need to add the services we use to an allow list. Please download the latest list from here


Other Supported Hardware


The Qudini Self-service Check-in Kiosk can be used with Android devices 5+ and IOS 9+ and it supports Star Micronics Printers.

The Qudini TV App can be used on and Android or Apple TV box plugged into an screen.
