Line of sight
Improved productivity, because:
• Service staff travel a much shorter
distance to retrieve needed items
• Much wider line of sight from reception
desk, so service staff can be more
attentive to customers’ needs
• Staff on duty can be easily monitored
Increased security because access to
back area is only limited to staff members
