What’s a digital lobby?
It’s opening the front doors like a physical lobby, but right on your website. Allowing prospects and customers to walk into your bank or credit union with their mouse vs. their feet. Instead of an employee walking over to greet them, they come into a virtual queue and any employee regardless of location can talk to them through video chat. No need to have customers wait in the lobby for twenty minutes while your bankers are working with another customer. Instantly see which skilled employees are available now, and add them to the video call.
