Smart safes for cash deposit do more than just collect and store money – they automatically verify, count and deposit your cash safely.
What is a Smart Safe?
Coupled with cash management software, you can connect these deposit systems with your bank or your CIT partner for real-time monitoring of cash levels and the optimisation of collection routines.
Smart safes also provide a full audit trail for greater transparency over cash transactions which helps you reduce shrinkage. You can also benefit from services such as remote servicing and end-of-day credit.

Benefits for Retailers
With a smart safe in the back office, retailers profit from a range of tangible benefits both operationally and in terms of loss prevention.
Process Efficiency
Counting cash is labour-intensive and also prone to human error. Detecting and then correcting those counting errors costs even more time.
A cash deposit machine not only counts notes automatically, but checks and registers them as well, which can cut the time shop staff spend on cash handling by over half.
Daily cash routines are made simpler, faster and more efficient. And with less time spent on manual cash handling, staff are free to focus more attention on serving customers.
Reduced Risk
Notes and coins deposited by cashiers in the back office are kept sealed away in a secure safe. This reduces shrinkage from internal and external theft.
It also means your staff do not have to carry cash to the bank since a CIT partner will collect takings directly from the machine when necessary. Employees are therefore relieved of a responsibility which puts them at risk.
In addition, with cash management software you have full transparency over cash levels and with cash deposits registered from every cashier on every shift, you can see exactly who deposited what and when.
