Now Busking Introduces Waiting Service at Sojinkong Support Center

Small Enterprise and Market Service Busan Jungbu Center

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Cheol-hyun] Now Busking (CEO Jeon Sang-yeol), which operates the store management and analysis service 'Now Waiting,' announced on the 30th that the waiting service will be introduced to 62 Small Business Support Centers nationwide. It has already been installed in Seoul and 34 locations across the country, and will be sequentially installed in all centers.

Although low-interest management stabilization funds are being provided to small business owners struggling with management due to the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19), hundreds of people flock to the Small Business Support Centers daily, causing difficulties. In particular, small business owners who urgently need loans experience the inconvenience of coming out early in the morning and waiting in line.

With the introduction of Now Waiting, small business owners can enter their contact information on a tablet to register for loan consultations, and the center can send notifications via KakaoTalk or text messages in sequence to call them. According to Now Busking, small business owners do not need to wait on-site for their consultation turn; they can operate their stores and visit the center when called as their turn approaches, thereby reducing waiting time. The center also does not need to respond individually to inquiries about expected waiting times or queue numbers. Additionally, it can prevent secondary COVID-19 infections that may occur in crowded spaces.

Jeon Sang-yeol, CEO of Now Busking, said, "We decided to introduce Now Waiting considering the convenience of small business owners, and together with the Ministry of SMEs and Startups, we will do our best to stabilize the management stabilization fund support procedures at the Small Enterprise and Market Service support centers as soon as possible."
