Queue Management for Brand Activations & Live Experiences
Your activation took months to design. Don't let a physical queue undo it in minutes. ScanQueue replaces crowd lines with a digital waitlist — attendees scan a QR code, explore freely, and return only when it's their turn.
Used by global brand experience agencies at major sporting events · No hardware · Live in 5 minutes · No app download for attendees
Queues Are the Enemy of Brand Experience
A great activation creates a moment. A 40-minute queue destroys it.
When attendees wait in a physical line, they're not engaging with your brand — they're frustrated, checking their phones, and considering leaving. Your client sees a crowd of impatient people instead of an immersive experience. Staff are stuck managing the line instead of elevating the interaction.
The brands investing $50,000+ in a single activation deserve better than a rope and a clipboard.
Set Up in 5 Minutes. Runs Itself.
ScanQueue replaces physical lines with a digital queue. Attendees check in via QR code, explore the event freely, and return when it's their turn.
Print One QR Code
Place it at your activation entrance. Attendees scan it with any phone — no app download, no account creation. They're in the queue in 15 seconds.
They Explore Freely
Attendees see their live queue position on their phone. They roam the event, grab food, visit other booths — knowing they won't lose their spot.
You Notify When Ready
Your team taps “Call Next” on the ScanQueue dashboard. The attendee gets an instant SMS or WhatsApp message. They return to your activation ready to engage.
You See Everything
Real-time dashboard shows queue length, wait times, peak periods, and throughput. Your client gets data. You get proof of ROI.
Built for Every Format of Brand Activation
From fan zones to pop-ups — ScanQueue adapts to your activation format.
Fan Zones at Sporting Events
Manage hundreds of fans queuing for a brand experience at motorsport, football, or music events. Run multiple queue points from one dashboard. Notify fans by SMS even in noisy environments — optional Voice AI call ensures no one misses their turn.
Product Launch Pop-Ups
Capacity-limited launch experiences in retail precincts or city centres. Control exactly how many people enter at once. Capture attendee data at check-in.
Trade Show & Conference Booths
Your demo booth draws a crowd. Instead of a chaotic scrum, attendees join a virtual queue and come back at their appointed time — briefed, ready, and not worn out from waiting.
Multi-Day Festival Activations
Run separate queues for different experiences within the same activation — photo booth, product demo, VIP meet & greet, merchandise pickup. Manage all from a single screen.
Experiential Retail
Limited-edition drops, immersive showrooms, and in-store experiences where demand spikes unpredictably. Set a capacity cap, let ScanQueue handle overflow automatically.
