Automated Cash Handling – Case #3
Arguably the hottest area of the cash automation industry and certainly the one poised to deliver the most benefits industry wide, is Retail. In our recent post Automated Cash Handling – Case #1 we presented recent research and commentary regarding the status of and future trends for Retail automated cash handling. The final point made by the writer, was this…
Ultimately, retailers can benefit from closing the in-store cash cycle, completely eliminating manual handling of cash, however, the future vision of a fully-closed cash cycle between banks, CIT companies and retailers is still far from becoming a reality
Recent personal research into the area of Retail automated cash handling solutions reveals many products targeted at this area, with few offering full customer interaction options that effectively remove the retail staff from handling cash transactions. Companies like ARCA, Wincor Nixdorf, NCR and Triton – to name but a very few – all offer some form of Retail automated cash handling solution and all are viable contenders in one or more application scenarios.
Imagine the advantage to all levels of the currency supply chain, if Retailers could be relied upon to remove poor quality cash from circulation, mark it as such and deposit it to their financial institution? The remainder could either be repatriated to the public as change and cash withdrawals or deposited as good quality should there be excess residual in various denominations. The retailer could receive provisional credit from their Bank and the Bank or CIT could schedule “on-demand” when timing and/or excess stock/replenishment are required. All of these actions could be taken at the denominational banknote and/or coin level.
Given the above statement of fantasy and the confirmation as such in our inaugural article, it is interesting to note the rise of some second generation Retail automated cash handling solutions companies.
