The challenge
Since the 1870s, Blue Foundry Bank has been providing comprehensive financial products and services to northern New Jersey in the US. Creating services using innovative methods, attention to detail and craftsmanship, the bank has nearly twenty branches manned by banking professionals who forge new relationships, experiences, communities, partnerships and solutions.
Blue Foundry Bank entrusted Kinly with its office relocation project. The goal of the new office was to create a working experience that would attract employees and become a place where they actively want to spend their time. President & CEO, Blue Foundry Bank, James D. Nesci, wanted to provide employees with the right resources to be successful, while creating a space that gave a whole new life and meaning to banking.

“At Blue Foundry, we think of the technology not only today but also how we might need to leverage it in the future. With the support of Crestron and Kinly, we were able to futureproof our business.”

The solution
Blue Foundry’s new and innovative 40,000 square foot corporate hub reflects its people first, technology second approach, giving employees the opportunity to work collectively in a flexible workspace. When considering the design of this hybrid HQ, Blue Foundry believed that a technologically infused working environment was an essential investment for engaging and retaining employees, while also attracting new ones. The bank considers technology to be an avenue for expanding its products and services to meet the needs of its employees, customers and communities.
We worked with Blue Foundry Bank to fully integrate every piece of Crestron technology, driving how the office functions and performs for employees. The success of this install was largely due to the collaboration between Blue Foundry and our team. Their involvement helped us, as an integrator, to coordinate through the waves of solution and bring the project the next level.
