Welcome to our beginner’s guide on understanding the notification system in Better Lobby, a key tool for managing the flow and engagement of members in your credit union’s lobby. Notifications play a crucial role in keeping both staff and members informed and ensuring operations run smoothly throughout the day.
What Are Better Lobby Notifications?
Better Lobby notifications are alerts sent to staff and members to facilitate better communication and service delivery. These notifications help manage the queue, inform members of their status, and alert staff about member needs or operational tasks.
Types of Notifications
- Member Arrival Alerts: When members check in, staff receive instant notifications, helping them prepare to meet the member’s needs promptly.
- Queue Status Updates: These notifications alert members about their position in the queue, providing updates on wait times and service readiness.
- Service Completion Alerts: Once a service is complete, notifications ensure staff promptly close out the session, allowing them to move efficiently to the next member.
Good to know: Customizing notification settings can significantly enhance the efficiency of these communications, allowing for adjustments based on peak times and staff availability, ensuring that resources are allocated most effectively during busy periods.
How Do Notifications Benefit Credit Union Operations?
