Festive season in Manhattan means a rush you can't staff for and service quality that craters by 6 PM. SWIQ lets stores book personal-shopping and try-on slots — one customer, one advisor, one fitting room, timed. Product demos (appliances, gadgets) reserve staff attention in advance, alteration pickups take windows instead of "come tomorrow", and high-value bulk enquiries book a consultation rather than ambush a salesperson mid-floor. The evening rush flattens into a schedule. Across Manhattan we track 91 businesses so far — every market we enter starts with real, verified listings.
