1. About our solutions


Our core solutions work as follows (this context helps to explain how data is captured and used):


  • Appointment Booking Software - Enables your customers to schedule appointments via their own website, store associates or contact center. Customers provide their name, mobile number and email address in order to receive appointment reminders by SMS and email. Appointments are made visible to store associates using our platform via desktop, tablet and smartphone. Contact center teams can also be given access to a Qudini interface to search for customers appointments to manage them on their appointment on their behalf.
  • Virtual Queue Management System - Allows your customers to join a virtual queue through a store associate, a self-service kiosk, a web URL or by texting an SMS code. Customers provide their name and mobile number in order to receive queue status updates and post-visit surveys by SMS and email. The queue of customers is made accessible to store associates using our platform via any desktop, tablet or smartphone.
  • Event Booking Software - Enables you to create events that customers can browse and book via their own website, store associates or contact center. To book events customers provide their name, mobile number and email address in order to receive event reminders by SMS and email. Event attendees are made visible to store associates using our platform via desktop, tablet and smartphone. Head office team members can also have access Qudini to view and manage event attendees.
  • Task Management Software - Enables you to create tasks at head office and store level and to assign these to individual store associates to work on. Tasks can be accessed and managed by employees on any desktop, tablet or smartphone.

Categorisation and processing of data within Qudini


This table explains the different types of data that the Qudini platform captures from different data subjects and how it is stored and used.

Customer personal data

To send your customers requiring services transaction-focused communications about the service they have requested. The communications sent are configured by you as the client.

 

If stored (at your request), this personal data can also be used to look-up a customer’s loyalty status when they return.

 

Data can also be exported to your CRM at your request.

 

Some clients export this data into a CSV, we don't advocate this method but as you are the data controller we can provide your selected users with rights to do so. Our permission levels enable you to control who can access this and they must acknowledge the personal nature of the data and adherence to your privacy processes before doing so.

  • Name

  • Phone number (optional)

  • Email address (optional) 

  • Product/service interest
