Our Approach
Understanding CRDB Bank’s position as Burundi’s largest bank, Q-SYS, a RIANA Group subsidiary specializing in customer experience solutions and bank queue management system, developed a comprehensive dual-solution strategy combining queue management with customer feedback capabilities. The project represented a new installation with no existing queue management infrastructure, providing Q-SYS the opportunity to design an optimal system from the ground up. Q-SYS deployed an integrated solution featuring self-service kiosks for intuitive customer check-in, four enterprise-grade media controllers managing queue logic and system operations, twenty-four counter LED displays providing clear visual confirmation at service points, and four tablet-based customer experience modules for seamless feedback collection.
