CASE STUDY Panphonics Oy co-operates with Denmarks most modern bank In 2006, Jyske bank underwent a 400 million DKK renovation of its 165 branches throughout Denmark. Jyske Bank has recently undergone a transformation from a traditional way of serving customers to an innovative modern approach. As visualized, the bank moved away from the traditional setting of counters and long queues to a more open and relaxed environment which includes an entertainment centre, library, coffee bar and shop. With their modern décor and use of open space, Jyske Bank is today one of the worlds most modern banks where people can receive a new brand of customer service focused around their banking needs. In Jyske Bank, customers and staff now thrive together and interact in the same environment making mutual communication easy,open and pleasant. Jyske Bank now offers their customers and personnel a place where they can enjoy a cup of coffee, read newspapers and gain more detailed information about the banks services and products or news and market information from the newly installed screens and specialized directive audio sound signs placed above the coffee table. By using directive sound signs, Jyske bank was able to ensure that people in the neighborhood of the information point were not being disturbed. Jyske Bank chose Panphonics to deliver their patented directive audio based on their solid performance in other banks. The speakers were manufactured to match the new décor of the Jyske bank. This included special lengths and colours. Jyske installed Panphonics Sound Shower loudspeaker over the coffee bar so that only the people inside “the sound cur- tains” can hear messages or musicwithout it disturbing others. With Panphonics technology clear and clean music and communication, even silence, will be heard in all Jyske Banks new coffee bars. Customers and personnel have received this new communication meda very well and they consider it a trendy and convenient solution for their new environment. Jyske Bank and Panphonics are both leaders in their respective fields and they will offer new opportunities to make pleasant business. When sound is combined with visual elements, and is well managed, it can have an extremely positive effect on corporate image as well as be a comprehensive communication system.
