How to reduce the loss of time and money within Cash Management.

As a business, accepting and thereby having to manage cash is virtually unavoidable. Your customers demand a wide variety of payment options, and cash is still king. In order to please your customers, you must allow them to pay with physical bills and coins.

Unfortunately, though, this customer mindedness comes with hassles and headaches, due to the labor-intensive process of managing cash. The average retailer must commit approximately 15 hours per day on cash management, while national retailers must spend twice as much time on counting, sorting, reconciling, and balancing cash from the front end to the back. Cash is managed by multiple people, multiple times a day during regular daily activities. Cashiers must process transactions, managers must make vault and bank drops, and cash room employees must reconcile the day’s profits and the cashiers’ floats.

All of this time translates into excessive labor costs. And on top of this, you can lose out on more money due to counterfeit fraud, internal theft, administrative errors, and even robbery. Retail cash management is time consuming and costly. But it doesn’t have to be – and here is why:
When you automate your retail cash management and invest in the proper cash management solutions, you’ll save time and money, and in turn, you’ll enhance your profitability.
