Meet LaneFlow — The Smartest Way to Manage Queues in Retail

Whether through AI-powered vision or mobile virtual queuing, LaneFlow orchestrates every checkout and service lane with precision — reducing wait times, balancing workloads, and improving shopper flow.

AI Vision agents that see and direct real-world queues — no apps required.
Hybrid setup: works with cameras, kiosks, or mobile check-ins.
Predictive lane analytics for real-time staff and customer flow optimization.

What Makes LaneFlow Different

LaneFlow combines computer vision and digital queuing in one unified platform.

It can work fully autonomously — using smart vision agents that track customers, detect available cashiers, and direct the next person in line — or in hybrid mode with mobile tickets and kiosks.

This makes LaneFlow uniquely adaptable: it enhances the experience whether your store has digital-savvy customers or traditional in-person queues.

No customer devices required (Vision Mode)

Mobile + kiosk hybrid supported

Centralized control via Dashboard

Real-time alerts for lane slowdowns

Autonomous Queue Management with AI Vision

LaneFlow's AI Vision agents watch and understand the checkout environment through existing or new ceiling cameras.

They detect queue length, identify available cashiers, and automatically direct the next customer — via digital signage or audio prompts — to the right lane.

No Mobile Apps Required

Customers don't need to download anything. The AI sees them and directs them automatically.

AI Identifies Shortest Lane

The system automatically directs traffic to the fastest available lane in real time.

Detects Queue Build-up

AI predicts congestion before it happens and alerts staff to open additional lanes.

Integrates with Signage & PA

Connects to store PA systems or smart signage to call the next customer automatically.

Hybrid Mode (Vision + Digital Queue)

Combine the best of both worlds:

Customers can still check in virtually via kiosk or mobile, while the AI Vision layer continues to monitor real queues, ensuring balance between physical and virtual flows.

Example:

If one lane slows due to a complex transaction, LaneFlow automatically reroutes upcoming customers to faster lanes — even those waiting virtually.
