Client Requirements
Airtel Tanzania’s commitment to delivering world-class customer service across their growing branch network faced critical operational challenges impacting satisfaction and efficiency. The existing tablet-based queue management system presented significant vulnerabilities, with portable devices prone to frequent theft incidents creating security concerns and disrupting branch operations. Tablets experienced persistent overcharging issues leading to device failures and increased maintenance costs, forcing branches to operate with reduced capacity or manual queue management during downtimes. Beyond security and reliability concerns, Airtel Tanzania sought user-friendly technology enabling seamless customer interaction with self-service systems. The company needed solutions intuitive enough for diverse customer demographics—from tech-savvy youth to elderly customers unfamiliar with digital interfaces—ensuring no customer felt excluded from digital service channels. The tablets’ vulnerability and technical limitations made them unsuitable for the robust, professional customer experience Airtel Tanzania aimed to deliver.

Our Approach
Q-SYS, a RIANA Group subsidiary specializing in customer experience technology, deployed comprehensive hardware infrastructure consisting of stand-alone digital signage displays and queue management system kiosks across two strategic Airtel Tanzania branches in 2025. The installation presented a unique technical challenge showcasing Q-SYS’s adaptability and technical expertise. Q-SYS’s standard kiosk systems operate on Windows platforms, but Airtel Tanzania specifically required Android-based systems to align with their existing IT infrastructure.

The rapid deployment was completed within one week, minimizing operational disruption while fundamentally transforming customer experience infrastructure across both locations.
