Parfetts is one of the largest independent retail wholesalers in the UK with 8 depots throughout the country. As an employee-owned business with over 40 years of experience, Parfetts are passionate about helping independent retailers grow. They are committed to making strides within their industry and continually updating the company offering to help improve their customer experience.
We were introduced to Parfetts via NU Construction, the primary contractor chosen for delivering the latest depot project within the Parfetts network, located in Birmingham. Parfetts initially required a showpiece large format display for their new meeting room, however following further discussions with NU Construction surrounding the planned use/requirement of the screen, an intuitive video conferencing and screen sharing solution was also specified.
Following discussions with Parfetts about their video conferencing needs we concluded that an ideal screen would be the LG 98UM5J 98” 4K large format digital signage display. This digital display screen has a sophisticated slimline design meaning that it fits flush against the wall for a more streamlined and sleeker look. The ultra-HD image is perfect for achieving a cleaner crisp image great for video conferencing and screen sharing to ensure that people’s faces and documents are easily seen. The 98” screen with a great brightness of 500 cd/m² delivers an immersive viewing experience.
For the video conferencing solution, we specified a Poly Studio X70 video bar with an intuitive TC8 touch interface control. The dual camera, all-in-one video bar is designed for larger rooms. The intelligent dual 4K lense, offers seamless transition between both a wide angle and narrow lense. With Poly’s AI technology, choose between group framing, people framing, and speaking framing for a better overall user experience. The 4K video bar is ideal for Parfetts hybrid meetings with staff across their 8 depots but also with external partners and suppliers. This is made possible with lifelike resolution and crystal-clear visuals; the Poly Studio video bar also contains a two-way stereo speaker and noise reduction technology that is ideal for a workplace.
To take the stress and worry about how to launch their meetings, we supplied an intuitive Poly TC8 touch interface that lets Parfetts access their video conferencing solutions with ease. Its sleek design features an 8” high-resolution touch display to make control options clear and accessible. They can now launch, join and share video conferencing with ease.
Finally, to fulfil the requirement for flexible, high-performing wireless presentation, we installed in Parfetts' meeting room a Screenbeam 1100 Plus. The device allows you to wirelessly link from laptop, tablet or smartphone devices for quick screen sharing during meetings. It also offers a multi-view capability that allows up to four devices to be connected and shared on the large-scale screen at the same time.
