Audit Trail
• Where cash is involved
• Team members
• Customers
• Third party
• Error
• Genuine mistake
• Fraud
• System
Why?
Cost
• Maintenance of existing equipment
• Cost of transporting cash from register to cash office
• Counting the cash
• Third party carrier to remove cash from outlet
Processing of cash
Cost Saving
• Less cash movement• Till to safe• Outside of trading hours
• Less cash counting (Streamlined)• Once in the CCi no count required until cash
sorting centre• No manual count required at any time
• Instant access to audit information• Via Palm or other device, link directly to till unit,
printer capability• Reduces fraud
• Till Snatch, counterfeit note, intimidation
Volumatic Counter Cash Intelligent (CCi)System
Reduces Cash handling By 75%
Where To Next ?
• The ROI has been calculated and more than exceeds our expectations
• Trials have been completed in a number of our stores, small, medium and large over a number of months
• Trials continuing as discussions as how to best implement a roll out across the business take place
Questions Raised
Question Answer
It is not a safe
• Additional security (Metal container to protect unit)
• Till units being redesigned
• Cash removed each day (In most cases) once trading completed
How secure is the CCi from attack?
Cash Handling centres will require automated cash multi-denomination cash counters long term
Multi denominations of cash held in unit, how does this effect counting at sorting centres?
Wilkinson does not currently trade 24 hr but if we did we would look to use a secure pod trolley
If 24 hr trading operation how do you move cash from till to cash office?
Future Developments
• Testing ongoing on smart tills • We do not believe the technology is there yet• This is the direction we believe technology is being directed• Automation is the key – remove the likelihood of error in all it’s forms
Now we know what is in the CCi at any time, with instant visibility, we now need to be able to have information about the cash notes and coinage in the register
