Queue-it
The Original Virtual Waiting Room.
Overview
Queue-it is a platform that provides a virtual waiting room to control online traffic during extreme peaks, such as product drops, ticket sales, or registrations. When traffic exceeds a site's capacity, visitors are offloaded to a branded, first-in-first-out waiting room and then redirected back when the site can handle them. This prevents website crashes, ensures fairness, and improves the user experience during high-demand situations. While not for physical stores, it's a key tool in 'store operations' for e-commerce.
