Retail Cash Management System and Optimization

Despite the growth of cashless payment methods, banknotes and coins remain the most used payment method in the world. Also, the largest number of cash transactions occur at points of sales.

Retailers are required to accept, process, and store cash payments as well as the required amount for change. Keeping cash increases the need for working capital; and cash handling processes waste human resources. Consequently, an effective cash management system is one of the key tasks for the retail sector.

Cash circulation expenses for retail businesses

  • Cash insurance during storage and transportation
  • Interest on deposit and withdrawal
  • Cash collection services
  • Internal personnel costs
  • Maintenance and equipment of security systems for the cash counting room
  • Delay cost in depositing the collected cash to a bank account (risk of a cash gap)
  • Repeated collection costs, recount, and dispute resolution in the event of a discrepancy between the declared and actual collection amounts
  • Expenses in case of internal fraud or theft
  • Purchase and maintenance of special equipment for validation, counting and packing of cash

Optimization of retail cash circulation

  • Order automation for the cash collection and exchange delivery
  • Cash distribution within the organization (between points of sale/service)
  • Cash Flow visualization from cashier systems and electronic cashiers
  • Instant deposit using automated deposit machines (ADM)

During the first two months of using CashPoint Monitoring.iQ, we were able to reach 25% of savings on rent of the cash. Besides, the solution allowed us to save internal resources (first of all, staff). In order to monitor and analyze cash supply chain using the Cash Management.iQ solution, one cash professional needs to work only for two hours a day.

The bank receives information about cash balances at ATMs from the processing center. The frequency of data transmission can vary, but this information is not enough for the optimal cash distribution to ATMs and CIT planning. For these purposes, TBC Bank uses Cash Management.iQ solution.

Cash Management.iQ software solution provides us the information on cash balances in ATM’s in real time, which allows us to more accurately plan the time of cash collection and  cash optimal amount by ATM’s, as well as to reduce logistics costs.
