WaitWay: Virtual Sign-In and Queue Management WaitWay is the modern, HIPAA-compliant virtual sign-in and queue management system for clinics, counseling practices, schools, government offices, salons, and any organization that wants a fast, friendly way to welcome visitors, without paper forms or expensive kiosk hardware. Visitors check in on a tablet, phone, or kiosk. Your staff sees the sign-in list in real time and gets an instant alert for every new arrival, and the alert never shows the visitor's name. New in 2.0: a redesigned check-in screen you can style with your own photos, colors, and logo, and QR pairing that sets up a device in seconds. KEY FEATURES • Secure, HIPAA-Compliant Sign-Ins: Sign-ins are encrypted in transit and stored securely. Notifications and alerts never include visitor names. Business Associate Agreements are available. • Virtual Queue Management: See every sign-in as it happens. Mark visitors as seen, clear them from the list, or forward them to a teammate instantly. • Works on Your Devices: Use WaitWay on an iPhone, iPad, or any browser. No special hardware required. • Provider and Team Collaboration: Assign sign-ins to the right staff member and forward visitors between providers, keeping everyone in sync. • Customizable Forms: Collect only what you need, from appointment details and contact information to your own pre-set questions. • Real-Time Notifications: Instant push alerts for new sign-ins, so you stay on top of the queue from anywhere. • Multi-Provider Queues: Add as many providers or sections as you need, each with their own queue and their own alerts. • Your Brand, Your Look: Add your logo, colors, photos, and welcome message so check-in feels like yours. • Reporting: Export sign-in history for attendance tracking, compliance, or customer-flow analysis. • Privacy First: WaitWay never sells or shares your sign-in data. Your information belongs to you and your organization. • A Little Extra: Optional holiday animations, from Valentine's Day to Thanksgiving, appear on your check-in screen at the right time of year. PERFECT FOR • Healthcare clinics and counseling practices • Schools and universities • Salons and spas • Government offices • Corporate reception areas • Any place that needs a professional, organized check-in WHY WAITWAY?
