Regional Banking Leader Diamond Trust Bank Transforms Customer Experience with Intelligent Service Innovation
Diamond Trust Bank in Kenya
Diamond Trust Bank (DTB) is a leading regional bank listed on the Nairobi Securities Exchange. As an affiliate of the Aga Khan Development Network, DTB has operated in East Africa for over seventy-five years, growing to serve millions of customers across many branches in Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, and Burundi. As the bank expanded its physical footprint while positioning branches as customer-centric service hubs, leadership recognized a critical opportunity to revolutionize the in-branch experience through intelligent queue management technology.
Client Requirements
DTB required a comprehensive queue management system in bank capable of handling the complexities of modern banking service delivery. The solution needed to accommodate multiple service categories, from quick transactions to time-intensive consultations, while maintaining optimal customer flow and minimizing wait times. The bank prioritized real-time customer feedback collection as a core requirement, seeking an integrated system that could capture customer sentiments immediately after service delivery when experiences are most authentic. DTB also required centralized management capabilities enabling oversight across all locations, with branch managers needing real-time analytics about customer flow, wait times, and staff performance.

Our Approach
Understanding that DTB was implementing queue management technology for the first time, Q-SYS, a RIANA Group subsidiary specializing in customer experience management solutions, developed a comprehensive deployment strategy. The project began with detailed requirements analysis and site assessment, involving consultation with branch managers, service staff, and operations leadership. Q-SYS conducted site visits to observe customer flow during peak and off-peak hours, identifying pain points in the existing manual queue management approach. Based on this analysis, Q-SYS designed a customized solution featuring digital kiosks, enterprise-grade media controllers, counter LED displays, and centralized screens providing comprehensive queue status information.
