Managing people flow for COVID19 vaccinations
FrontDesk, a leading queue and appointment management platform, has the past 10 years helped cities, regions, universities, health centres and other large organizations with managing their appointments and customer flow.
Having eliminated wait times for millions of people, 2021 posed a challenge not seen before.
Enter FrontDesk Suite.
COVID19 mass vaccination – Canada style
Having helped the City of Windsor the past year with their appointment and citizen flow, a quick phone call put the wheels in motion. 2 days later, a complete citizen flow for the mass vaccination sites in the Windsor-Essex region was built in collaboration between FrontDesk’s Consultants and various stakeholders from Windsor-Essex.
One week later, a complete implementation with configuration, hardware, software and training was completed and installed at the WFCU Centre in Windsor. Normally, the WFCU Centre hosts various recreation facilities as well as the hockey team, Windsor Spitfires.
“I must say, their ability to respond and make improvement tweaks to the system has been impressive. They have been super easy to work with.”
– Senior Manager, City of Windsor
