OVERVIEW
WiTec is a young web and mobile development company. It aims to help businesses in their work by providing innovative solutions to long and persisting problems using modern technologies and new opportunities. We aim to impact society and take a step forward to a better future by raising awareness and providing ways to make the change we wish to see in our world.
The problem
People spend approximately 6 months of their lives waiting in line, and not too many of them have the luxury of time. We see old and ill people waiting for hours at a doctor's office or in a hospital for a visit. Sometimes people have to leave work to get to the bank or the post-office and wait in a long queue to get money. Ladies sometimes leave their children with neighbors just to wait in a queue somewhere.
The solution
The problem we are trying to solve is to reduce the long wait hours. Thus, we are
presenting Skipex which is a mobile app and a web platform businesses can integrate in their workflow to manage appointments and clients queues, besides providing options to minimize the wait time in online and real-time queue management where clients can monitor the queue status from their phone anywhere and only come when it is their turn. Also, the option to reserve a turn from their phones and make appointments with service providers.
Our Target market is businesses like doctors, clinics, dentists, banks, service providers like mobile networks and any business that can take the benefit of the queue management system. Our audience is everyone, including the average person and anyone in need of our app, to reserve a turn in a queue and/or monitor his/her turn remotely and skip the queue.
