What is Queue-Fair?

A virtual waiting room serves as an intermediary page that prevents visitors from overwhelming busy websites, guiding them back to the site at a manageable rate while ensuring optimal performance and user experience.

This system allows websites to effectively handle sudden surges in traffic without risk of crashing, which also eliminates the need for constantly running additional servers when demand is low, contributing to a more sustainable approach to web management.

Moreover, effective virtual waiting rooms prioritize fairness by returning visitors in the order they arrived, while also keeping them updated on their status and estimated wait times.

Experiencing a website crash can be detrimental to any business, especially during high-demand events, as it not only harms server functionality but can also tarnish the company's reputation.

By maintaining a seamless branding experience, businesses can safeguard their customers' trust and loyalty.

Our innovative and patented virtual waiting room technology not only underscores the value of fairness but also enhances the entire customer journey through a fully customized branded experience.

    Takes all the stress out of ticket launches

    Date: Feb 28 2024
    Summary

    Wonderful really, just wish we could use it more as it makes ticket releases actually fun instead of very stressful!

    Positive

    Once a year we have a big ticket release, in previous years our site has always crashed which has proven very stressful for everyone involved. Queue-Fair solved this problem, our website didn't crash and customers we able to purchase tickets seamlessly. It all just worked, just as our onboarding consultant said it would. With Queue-Fair we are confident for even bigger releases in the future.

    Negative

    None really, the experience was just great from start to finish.

    This solution allowed me to manage hundreds of online sales in a matter of hours without hassle.

    Date: Oct 09 2024
    Summary

    During our event, we had too many visitors at the same time, before using this service our web server was experiencing slowdown issues and it became inaccessible. Controlling the flow of visitors allowed us to correct this problem.

    Positive

    It is an easy-to-use solution that allows us to intervene in real time on the flow of visitors that we let pass. Easy to configure, we can even customize the visual and the texts of the queue. A special thank you to Matt who was able to explain all this to me in French, available and efficient, thank you again Matt!

    Negative

    The only small negative point is the choice of packages, the most advantageous was to take it for 3 months while our event was only held for one day.

    Queue Fair is a robust and user-friendly solution

    Date: May 02 2024
    Summary

    Queue Fair is handling unexpected high loads of visitor numbers and serving as a backup if the infrastructure does not perform as expected. The software and team is very user-friendly and does the job very good.

    Positive

    Queue Fair is a robust and user-friendly solution to handle expected and unexpected peaks in visitor numbers. The guidance and communication with the team were very pleasant; our questions were answered promptly. Despite our infrastructure being well-prepared for high visitor numbers in a short period, it's reassuring to know that we can always apply a management measure by activating Queue Fair. Last year, during a significant scaling up of our services, we gratefully utilized the virtual queue, which gave us time to fine-tune the systems in the background to handle the immense load.

    Negative

    There are no cons in using Queue Fair, the software and services are very good.

    The Best Waiting Room Partner

    Date: Jan 08 2023
    Summary

    Definitely, Queue-Fair will be our top of mind for future reference and will surely be our only Waiting Room partner recommendation to our dear friends outside the organization.

    More power Queue-Fair! Good job!

    Positive

    We are very glad to have Queue-Fair as our Waiting Room partner for the three (3) big events we had last year 2022 - the iPhone 14 pre-order, the iPhone 14 launch and the biggest double digit sale of the year which is the 11.11. Our website did not crash! - our main goal during these high peak events. We even achieved and went beyond our Sales Target in 2022. Really, thanks to Queue-Fair!

    Despite the time differences between Philippines and UK, Queue-Fair’s CEO really consistently reached out to us just to make sure our events were all a success. And, the Queue-Fair platform itself is notable as it is user-friendly. We appreciate the data reports we have exported as these gave us meaningful historical insights which will be useful for our future projects.

    Negative

    We did not have any disliking with Queue-Fair. We are very happy to have them as our partner.

    Love the service, Support is top notch from start of the event till the end

    Date: May 04 2023
    Summary

    Our event was completed flawlessly thanks to Queue-Fair, and everything worked beyond good 👍 We are delighted that we chose the Queue-Fair service. Support was top-notch on every step (from integration to actual ticket-selling event). We would not manage to make the event work so good for clients if not Matt's expertise and involvement.

    Takes all the pain out of event launches

    Date: Mar 07 2023
    Summary

    Takes all the pain and stress out of launching and we will definitely be using on all our high demand events going forward.

    Positive

    Great customer service, very easy to set up and worked like a treat.

    Event launches were always touch and go particularly for events with lots of social media hype, trying to make sure that web servers and payment gateways would be able to cope. With Queue-Fair we got rid of the headaches and actually sold out faster. There is nothing like a queue to create scarcity. All event launches will be done this way for us going forward.

    Negative

    Product was really simple to configure and there was nothing that I didn't really like

    Date: Oct 19 2023
    Summary

    One of the best experiences I've had with a company - particularly a SaaS product - ever. And I deal with a lot of SaaS companies.

    Positive

    Phenomenal help from Matt during sales and implementation. Product worked great. Easy to understand dashboard. Love the customizations for the waiting room page.

    Negative

    Loved it all. Maybe one small improvement would be to have a QuickStart Guide or similar to make the getting started process feel easier.
