Key statistical factors for calculating the cash demand in the network
- Annual trend – the general pattern of cash usage in the infrastructure
- Seasonal trend – a set of patterns that distinguishes the behavior of users depending on the month (migration of cash demand between locations)
- Monthly trend – a set of patterns of changes in the activity of users within one month (salary and pension paydays, etc.)
- Daily trend – a set of unique patterns for each cash point related to user behavior within one day (cash withdrawal activity in the morning or evening, as well as cash collection fro SME merchants)
Meanwhile, the correct implementation of trends is not the final result of forecasting. In addition to the statistical trends, many secondary factors and indirect methods (customer behavior, service availability, etc.) are also taken into consideration
