Cash management is important for Retail

According to the 2018 Report issued by The European House - Ambrosetti, Italy did not reduce the volume of circulating cash. Actually, it increased it.
From 127.9 billion cash in 2008, in 2017 the amount increased to 197.7 billions, equivalent to a 3.8% increase. This trend is aligned with an increase in the amount withdrawn from ATM machines: +8.9% from 2008 to 2016, the highest amount in Europe.
These amounts are clearly opposite to the trend of other countries belonging to the same socio-economic area, some of which are aiming to become cashless by 2023.

THE ADVANTAGES OF AN AUTOMATED MANAGEMENT OF CASH TRANSACTIONS

With the data in hand, if cash is no longer the undisputed king of retail, it still represents its vital essence. Thus, it is fundamental for retailers to equip themselves with cash management systems that are reliable and capable to simplify everyday life, in full safety.
The advantages of an automated management of cash transactions are many and increasingly fundamental.

Immediate counting and checking of cash

Cash managed by an automated system is already counted and validated, ready to be withdrawn in full safety. This allows avoiding accepting counterfeit coins and bills, reducing to a minimum the risk of frauds while shortfalls caused by calculation errors are eliminated completely.

No ore cash register discrepancies

Negative cash register discrepancies can be caused by a variety of reasons: errors, thefts, rounding, and incorrect receipts. An automated cash management system ensures the certainty of takings, by registering all transactions and ensuring perfect reconciliation of accounts.

Personnel cost reduction

Technology helps in automating a daily and repetitive task such as cash counting and cash reconciliation. Personnel is no longer responsible for a task that is at time risky, due to errors or distractions, and the time saved can be used to offer better customer service and to perform other more remunerative activities.

Increased security at the point of sale

By installing a cash management system, the risk of theft and robberies is reduced radically because the cash is constantly entered and stored in a device protected by adequate security systems, such as: anchoring at the counter, safety blocks, alarms and various levels of access authorization (to allow, in a diversified manner, cleaning and accessing).

Hygiene

Guaranteed personnel hygiene, since contact with cash is avoided: this is an advantage that, at times, is not considered important but that may actually be decisive in improving the environment and the work conditions of one's staff.Up until the day the transformation into a cashless society is complete, cash management systems represent a practical solution to simplify daily tasks of retailers and reduce related risks: counterfeit coins and bills, thefts and staff errors in checking cash transactions.
