SECURITY
Play it safe
SafePay is a completely closed cash-handling solution
O
ver the last decade, the retail cash-handling
market has grown at a rapid pace. This trend
looks set to continue in the years ahead.
Faced with intense global competition, retailers
are more and more likely to need cash-handling
solutions that offer enhanced security, lower costs and improved
productivity. These solutions will need to work within existing
environments and adapt to a range of business models, leaving
retailers free to focus on their core activities, optimise security
and control their cash cycle.
Gunnebo’s focus is on simplifying processes within the cashmanagement chain and optimising cash-cycle monitoring,
embracing automation to improve customer control over the
cash process. By increasing cost-efficiency and improving the
import and export of real-time data, cash management will
become more accurate and easier to control.
The company’s latest offering is SafePay, which offers a
completely closed cash-handling solution. Money is secured and
controlled from the moment it leaves the customer’s hand until
it reaches the cash-counting centre. There is no manual cash
handling, no opportunity for cash differences, and a safer store
for both customers and staff.
Closed cash handling replaces manual tills with recycling
cash systems. Payment is counted and correct change paid
automatically. Retailers also benefit from the enforcement of
proper security routines, where the exact amount of cash is
accounted for at every till at any store location. Staff have much
less involvement with the cash cycle and need not be taken
off checkout duty to hand over cash to cash-in-transit (CIT)
personnel. Selected information can also be shared with trusted
partners – CIT can monitor the level of cash in a store, and plan
cash pick-ups and deliveries of change as needed.
Working with major banks, as well as some of the world’s
largest retail and CIT companies for over 200 years, Gunnebo
offers a combination of hardware, software and services, ranging
from entry-level systems to completely closed cash-handling
solutions, from cash-deposit products to front-office security
and back-office automation. Backed by proven technology and
software platforms, it functions as the central hub for all players
involved in the cash cycle.
