# What is Pickcel Queue Management application and how to create it?

> Learn how to set up a digital queue management system to streamline visitor flow and reduce wait times with virtual tokens

Pickcel's queue management application replaces the "take-a-ticket" system by allowing visitors to enter a queue from a digital kiosk or a mobile device. It will provide tokens virtually, and individuals can wait for their token number to be displayed on the screen to have their visit.
