The Concierge app will send a push notification to employees when a customer uses an iOS device to check in to the Apple Store, wrote author Cody Fink. From the app, employees will be able to monitor an 'iQueue' with a list of currently waiting customers and their respective check-in times. Store managers will also take advantage of a new app called Scout that will allow them to assign room-by-room check-in locations for 'accurate, close proximity check-ins.' Scout is designed to be a one-use application for 'initial set-up of Apple's location based services,' the report noted. Photos obtained by Mac Stories show the rumored Concierge app in action.
