How NextMe analytics works

  1. Self check-in form where guests join the waitlist from their phone, shown in NextMe for an event

    Capture data with every visit

    Every guest who joins your waitlist adds to your data, whether they check in themselves or your team adds them. There is no separate intake step and nothing to reconcile by hand.

  2. Headline metric cards for visits, served guests and message delivery rate, shown in NextMe

    Review it in your dashboard

    See guest traffic, wait times, and retention in one place. Filter by location and date range to spot your peak hours and compare how each site is doing.

Event Insights Reports

After an event or brand activation, NextMe sums up the whole run in an Event Insights Report: a shareable PDF built for your client or sponsor.

  • Virtual queue: sign-ups, guests served, no-shows and show-up rate, hourly throughput, and median wait.
  • By day and by hour: each day’s results, with hour-by-hour charts of sign-ups against guests served.
  • Lead capture: unique email addresses, digital waivers, and the optional details guests shared, such as ZIP code.
  • Virtual waiting room: visits, unique visitors, engagement time, and clicks on your branded content.

The data comes straight from the queue that ran your event, so there’s nothing extra to track or tally. See how event teams use it to prove activation ROI.
