Branch appointment auto-booking: from app to branch without queue
Customer started a complex case in the app (mortgage, FX, complaint), may need branch visit. Auto-booking — eliminate queue.
Discuss Your ChallengeScenario
Customer opened mortgage application in the app. Process needs a branch visit for biometric or signature. Without auto-booking the customer goes to the branch, waits in queue, may not reach an advisor.
With auto-booking — customer slot scheduled, advisor prepared, walk-in without queue.
Trigger
In-app workflow detects branch visit needed:
- Mortgage application — biometric required.
- FX setup — physical signature.
- Complaint escalation — face-to-face.
- Investment advisory — suitability assessment.
- High-value account opening.
Action
Branch selection:
- Customer’s preferred (saved).
- Geographic — based on app location or home address.
- Capability — branch has an advisor for the category.
- Availability — within preferred time windows.
Booking confirmation: app shows time, advisor name, expected duration, what the customer should bring.
Reminders: 24 hours before, 1 hour before — confirm or reschedule.
Advisor preparation: case context loaded into advisor’s tool before visit.
What is measured
Booking acceptance rate.
Show-up rate (booked vs attended).
Visit completion rate (case closed vs requires re-visit).
Customer NPS post-visit.
Advisor productivity (cases per day with vs without prep).
What not to do
Do not book without offering reschedule option.
Do not book if customer prefers digital alternative.
Do not bombard reminders — one timely is enough.
Do not ignore advisor prep — visit without context wastes time.
