Queue system

A queue system without a ticket machine.

Netmiði: a staff dashboard showing the live queue, and a lobby display showing the number now being called

In a nutshell

  • SMS notifications
  • QR code
  • Dashboard
  • Lobby display
  • Statistics
  • No hardware

The product

One SMS line. No paper roll.

Customers enter their phone number, get a ticket number and a link by SMS, and follow the queue from their phone. Staff call the next number from a dashboard — no app, no paper roll, no machine.

Netmiði helps businesses drop the waiting line without buying a ticket machine.

How it works

Three simple steps — no machine, no app

Simplest is typing in a phone number. A QR code is optional.

  1. 01

    Enter a phone number

    The customer types their number on the page — or scans a QR sign at the entrance. No app.

  2. 02

    Get an SMS with the ticket and a link

    An SMS arrives immediately with the ticket number and a link to follow the queue.

  3. 03

    Staff call the next number

    Staff see the queue live and call the next number with one click. The customer gets an SMS when it's their turn.

The platform

A shorter line, more oversight

Netmiði replaces the ticket machine with SMS, a dashboard, and a lobby display — and collects data along the way.

Live in a few minutes

No machine, no app

01

No ticket machine, no hardware to buy, and no maintenance calls. The system runs directly in the browser — customers don't need to download anything.

  • No hardware to buy, no paper roll
  • Runs directly in the browser — no app
  • Create a queue and you're live in minutes

Wait in the car if you like

A better customer experience

02

Customers get an SMS with a link, follow the queue on their phone, and get another SMS when called — no need to stand by the door.

  • People see their live status instead of standing in line
  • SMS on check-in, and again when called
  • Works just as well for people waiting outside or in the car

The queue manages itself

Less load on staff

03

Staff call the next number with one click and focus on service instead of manually managing the line.

  • A live dashboard shows the queue in real time
  • A lobby display shows the number now being called
  • Service categories and multiple queues for bigger teams

All the data in one place

Statistics and oversight

04

Netmiði automatically collects data about your queue so you can make better decisions.

  • Ticket volume, average wait, and peak hours
  • No-show rate and completion rate
  • Service categories and staff usage

Questions

Frequently asked questions about Netmiði

What is a queue / ticket system?

A ticket system manages the line: the customer gets a number, sees their place, and is called when it's their turn. Netmiði does this with SMS — enter a phone number, get a ticket and a link. QR is optional. No ticket machine.

Is Netmiði the same as Qmatic?

No. Qmatic is a large customer-flow platform, often with kiosks and a formal rollout, used in pharmacies and institutions. Netmiði is simpler: SMS with a ticket number, a staff dashboard, and a lobby display — without a big contract.

Do I need a ticket machine?

No. The customer enters their phone number (or scans a QR code), gets an SMS with the ticket and a link, and follows the queue on their phone. Staff call the next number from the dashboard. A lobby screen shows who's now being served.

Who is a digital queue system for?

Tire shops, auto service centres, barbers and salons, pharmacies, service desks, and receptions — anyone with a waiting line who wants to drop paper tickets.

Do I pay for SMS separately?

Yes. Each monthly plan includes a set SMS rate — from ISK 13 to 19 per SMS depending on the plan — billed by usage on top of the subscription.

How long does it take to set up Netmiði?

Usually under 10 minutes. You create a queue, choose whether a QR code should be available, and can start taking tickets the same day.
