How PSB Academy Transformed Its Campus Experience with Qwaiting

PSB is one of Singapore's most prestigious private institutions. Established in 1964, the campus receives over 2000 students daily to attend lectures, submit documents, or participate in events.

With a legacy of over 60 years, the academy earned the reputation of "Asia's Future Academy" in 2016. Despite being a reputed and advanced institute, the campus faced some issues managing its student records and tracking staff performances.

Let's see how, by using Qwaiting's smart and advanced technology, the PSB Academy ensured a smooth experience for its executives and students.

The Challenges Faced by the University

Being a well-known educational institute, PSB always welcomes students from around the world. With growing demands, the institute faced some management issues like:

1. Unplanned student flow

With so many students coming daily, and at times visitors, it was becoming difficult for the authorities to differentiate whether it was for admissions, queries, or registrations.

This overwhelmed the staff members and doubled their work to micro-manage.

2. Long wait times

Students reported they have to wait for at least 15 minutes in a long line just to submit their forms or clarify basic queries.

This led to student frustrations, which caused skipped queries and delayed submissions.

3. Overwhelmed staff

The staff members had to manage long wait lines and they were using outdated and manual systems to record information. This slowed down the whole process leaving a very little time to interact with students.

4. Lack of real-time performance records

With no real-time data reports, it was becoming hard to determine the staff performance. It was becoming challenging for the admin staff to determine which departments were facing problems and were overloaded.

All these problems kept adding up, which was creating problems maintaining a calm environment.

The Solution Provided

PSB decided to upgrade its outdated processes to give its students and staff an advanced on-campus digital experience. That's when they partnered with Qwaiting, and here's how we helped PSB achieve their goals:

1. Virtual queuing system

Instead of waiting in a long line, here's how a virtual queuing system helped students:

• Students can easily book their appointments with the admin staff using their smartphones.
• After booking, the software automatically sends a token number and the expected wait time to students.
• Students can wait around the campus conveniently until their turn arrives, which helps reduce overcrowding at reception areas.

2. Real-time notifications

To keep students informed of their wait times, the system automatically sends alerts to students displaying their scheduled bookings, allotted counters and wait times.

3. Self-service kiosk

• To give students more independence over their applications and bookings, Qwaiting installed self-service kiosks, using which:
• Students can process their semester fees and select hostel services using a kiosk.
• Students can add their queries and new students can register themselves, which reduces the paperwork for staff.

4. Centralized dashboard

To help admin staff keep an eye on staff and department performance. The dashboard helped by;

• Dashboard generated real-time reports showcasing busy departments and overworked staff.
• Admin staff could easily optimize or allocate their resources based on a peak hours study to save student time and ensure maximum staff productivity.

The Results

After implementing Qwaiting’s smart solutions, the results were nothing less than a success for the academy. Here’s what changed:

• Wait Times Dropped to Under 3 Minutes: From a frustrating 15-minute average wait, the queue times dropped dramatically. Students felt more in control and less stressed.
• Staff Became More Productive: With queue management handled automatically, staff could focus on meaningful tasks, like resolving student issues or guiding newcomers.
• Data-Driven Decisions: For the first time, PSB Academy could use real data to optimize schedules, assign resources, and identify peak periods.
• Higher Student Satisfaction: Feedback scores from students shot up, with many mentioning how easy, fast, and smooth the new system was.

Here’s what one of the PSB team members had to say:

“Qwaiting took a massive burden off our shoulders. It’s like we went from chaos to calm in just a few weeks. The students love it, and our team finally has time to breathe.”

Conclusion
