Branch Cycle
Commercial banks and saving banks are responsible to ensure a reliable cash supply for retail and public. Banking customers expect instant payment and on demand services for cash as known from other digitalized logistics and retail industries. Fast, flexible and cost-effective banking services are required.
Modern cash infrastructures ensure availability and best service costs of banknotes and coins along the entire branch cycle.
Bank strategies depend on its capabilities and market readiness:
- Bank operates its own branch cycle infrastructure, provides a fullservice offer to its customers through the entire country
- Bank outsources non-competitive cash services to Cash-in-Transit companies/ cash center operators
- Bank combines standardized cash activities into a joint multi-bank infrastructure
Manual processes and procedures must be automated. Front-office services in banking and retail are automated by recycling ATMs, IT systems in back-office are enabled to optimize cash inventories and armored carrier routes, across all cash points within the respective network.
Cash InfraPro analyses your cash management strategy. We examine profitability of your organization, service quality, and flexibility to respond to changed requirements within your branch network. Our tailored programs optimize cost of cash along your cash supply chain with long-lasting effect.
