It also allows performance measurement to ensure that customer service waiting time is no longer than 10 minutes, and that the average service processing time is less than five minutes, based on the number of customers served.”

The system is capable of determining the best customer service staff members at these centers, and rating the best service centers with respect to performance, and demand for services.

Adding further, he stressed that the project brings added value to the Ministry of Interior by developing best practices that regulate the flow of customers to service centers and improving customer experience during their face-to-face interaction with service providers. “The system allows customers to directly provide feedback to the ministry with respect to the received services and service providers’ performance via a set of devices that are linked to the system. This would ultimately contribute to improving the work system and achieving the coveted objectives,” he concluded.   His Highness urged the people in charge of implementing the Q–System to continuously upgrade the system by introducing the best techniques and improvements, and to implement it across all customer service centers and border ports at the countrywide level.   His Highness also inspected the modern facilities at the revamped Vehicles and Drivers Licensing and ICT Departments.
