How Jaybox’s Virtual Jukebox Is Redefining Music in Pubs and Clubs

In the heart of the British music technology scene, a quiet revolution has been brewing. Jaybox, a privately owned British company with over 20 years of jukebox innovation behind it, has just launched its most disruptive and innovative product yet — VIBE, the virtual jukebox platform that promises to reshape music access across pubs, clubs and social venues in the UK.

The VJB as an overall concept
All its component parts combine to make the VJB

The VIBE platform is the culmination of over two years of meticulous development, with every design choice centred around these key priorities: user experience, durability, affordability, flexibility and profitability.

“We knew we had to get this right, that meant building something robust enough to withstand daily use, intuitive enough for any user, and affordable enough to bring fully licensed music to existing venues or even the smallest venues — where traditional jukeboxes just aren’t viable.”

Designed in partnership with a major UK manufacturer, VIBE is produced domestically, allowing tighter quality control and faster distribution. It comes with a 3-year FULL REPLACEMENT warranty — a statement of confidence that stands out in an industry where shorter support windows are the norm.

What sets VIBE apart? For starters, the price point. At £150 the VIBE VJB hardware is a fraction of the cost of a traditional Jukebox. Phil Bolderson, MD at Jaybox explained “hardware costs have always been a barrier to profitability within the JukeBox market place and this was something we wanted to minimise. The VIBE VJB transforms the economics of providing Pay to Play music into any venue with the ability to substantially increase profits in established venues or open up opportunities in other venues traditionally not financially viable”.

The VIBE VJB also comes with the highly competitive music costs with music prices starting at £7.00 per week, a huge discount on current music costs. Phil went on to explain “the economies of producing the VIBE VJB allow us to pass on substantial savings to our customers allowing them much more flexibility in their pricing in this increasingly price sensitive market.”

The VIBE VJB requires minimal installation, no cash collection, no spare parts and plugs into any existing sound system again offering huge savings over the traditional JukeBox operating costs.

Phil further explained “we estimate that the cost of installing and running a VIBE VJB is less than 10% of the costs of a traditional JukeBox. This allows operators and venues to scale up or modernise their product offering at a fraction of the usual costs associated with JukeBoxes making existing venues more profitable and opening up new markets and opportunities”

The VIBE VJB runs on the JBOS platform — Jaybox’s proven jukebox operating system that has quietly become one of the most robust and scalable in the sector. The platform is designed to grow, enabling future updates and integrations without the need for major hardware replacements.
Supporting that is a full suite of complementary tools:

The JayBox Connect App is capable of being fully customisable where we can offer a “White Label” version which can be individually branded to your own business with all financial transactions coming directly to the customer. Phil explained “many of our customers want to manage their own finances and promote their own brand so we have built into the VIBE VJB and JayBox connect the facility to uniquely profile this for an individual customer at a minimal cost”

JayBox Connect is free to download from both Google and Apple stores.
