NEEDS ANALYSIS

BAI – African Investment Bank challenged Newvision to present a different solution of the urban centres to rural areas, since the needs are different and the actual hardware of the ticket dispensers had to be different.

SOLUTION IMPLEMENTED

Newvision, A Tensator Group Company, analyzed the needs of BAI and suggested the installation of GENOA dispensers in urban centres due to the large size of the branches. For rural areas the KIO was the chosen kiosk due to its ability to be multiservice.

This provides the bank with opportunities to develop customer interactivity in the future, providing the ability to complete payment of services and customer ID when entering the agency.

The whole system is connected to one main server installed at the Headquarters of the BAI in Luanda, allowing the entire system to be managed from a single location having a full view and data from all branches.

In this particular case it is necessary to have a distributed architecture because of the constant power failures in Angola.

NUMBERS

Dispersed banking queue management technology has been installed 90 BAI agencies, throughout the Angolan territory with an average of five counters per branch.

Each branch has a GENOA ticket dispenser customised with logos and corporate colours.

The customer call is made through 32”screens with Inline TV and broadcast of multimedia content.
