High volume pressure

Serving 400+ people daily led to crowded waiting areas and increased stress for both patients and staff.

Lack of visibility

Without data, it was difficult to predict peak hours or measure how long people were waiting for specific services.

Staff overload

Staff felt the pressure of "invisible" queues, making it hard to manage workload distribution across counters.

The problem

The challenge

Navigating high-volume service in a traditional retail space

With a steady flow of over 400 people daily, Loureiro Basto Pharmacy faced the complex task of organizing a physical space that had become increasingly congested. The primary hurdle was managing a diverse demographic of visitors while trying to maintain the high level of individual care that their reputation was built upon.

Key challenges faced:

Visitors often waited in line without knowing which counter to approach.

Physical congestion made the pharmacy feel smaller and more stressful.

Static queuing could not adapt to different visitor needs or profiles.

No visibility into peak hours or specific service times for optimization.

The solution

A hybrid approach to organized customer journeys

Moviik implemented an intelligent flow management system designed to bridge the gap between traditional service and digital innovation. By deploying a Tiik Kiosk for physical ticket dispensing alongside Digital Ticket capabilities via QR codes, the pharmacy empowered visitors to choose how they wait.

This hybrid ecosystem was rounded out with real-time Signage Players and a powerful Analytics Dashboard, ensuring the pharmacy operates with full visibility and maximum efficiency.

What Loureiro Basto Pharmacy gained:

Dual-entry access: Visitors have the total freedom to choose between traditional physical tickets or mobile queuing via QR codes, catering to all age groups.

Space optimization: By offering digital tickets, the pharmacy significantly reduced physical crowding in the lobby, allowing people to wait more flexibly and safely.

Operational clarity: Managers now use real-time data to identify peak hours and adjust staffing levels instantly, ensuring no counter is ever overwhelmed.

Improved experience: The store environment became noticeably calmer, allowing pharmacists to focus on delivering high-quality advice for every visitor.

The result is a more human-centric pharmacy where technology removes the stress of the wait, allowing the staff to focus entirely on the well-being of their community.
