CLEAR, the secure identity company, has announced that it has acquired Whyline Inc., a leading provider of virtual queuing and appointment technology, in an all-cash transaction.
Whyline helps organizations across industries manage customer flows through the use of virtual queuing. Using Whyline’s mobile app or webflow, users can see the live wait-times, enter into the queue remotely or pre-book their appointment, and let the software wait on their behalf.
CLEAR’s acquisition of Whyline will bring the company’s experience to new industries like banking, retail, and government services while simultaneously expanding virtual queuing in existing industries like airports. It will also accelerate CLEAR’s expansion into international markets via Whyline’s existing client and partner base and leverage Whyline’s cutting-edge technology and seasoned technology team to further enhance CLEAR’s products and platform.
“Whyline and CLEAR share a common mission: to create a better, frictionless future. Over the past five years, the Whyline team has built impressive technology that is helping change our day-to-day lives and routines for the better. With this acquisition, we’re helping people and partners spend less time waiting and more time doing what matters most to them,” said Caryn Seidman-Becker, CLEAR CEO.
