1 Integrated Cash Center Solutions Perfectly tuned. Efficient. Ready for the future.

2 Superior efficiency and security: Key essentials for a cash center. Only a few years ago, many observers predicted that cash was doomed to disappear by the 21st century. Yet more cash is in circulation today than ever before despite a profusion of alternative means of payment. With this growth in cash volume also comes a greater need for cash processing services and technologies. And that shows no sign of changing in the future, either. The challenges for cash center operators are enormous. Relentless cost and efficiency pressure is forcing them to repeatedly re-engineer their processes, site structures, and system configurations. As cash volumes rise and new technologies emerge, it is becoming more urgent to find futureproof solutions for projects such as expansions or new facilities. Luckily, there are automation solutions for each cash center station. This is certainly a plus for security and efficiency in cash handling and an ideal opportunity to implement seamlessly integrated, highly productive processes. Designing and enhancing powerful cash centers is a complex challenge. For valuable assistance, turn to the specialists at Giesecke & Devrient (G&D). We will discuss your needs and situation with you in detail and craft a solution for your cash center using perfectly matched modules. Completely customized and fully flexible. Count on G&D to help you successfully tackle all your challenges today and tomorrow.

Countless interfaces have to be perfectly aligned. We tackle this challenge systematically with you, step by step. Cash center projects consist of four phases: 1 Requirements analysis 2 Solution design 3 Deployment 4 Post-Deployment

5 Phase 1: Requirements analysis Cash cycle Currencies Cash flows Stakeholders Role distribution Regulations Requirements analysis External cash center parameters Site analysis Customer structure Branch structure ATM network and management Deposits Armored transportation / logistics Many individual requirements one coherent concept. Internal cash center parameters Processes Sizing Infrastructure Security Workforce structure Resource planning The analysis phase captures all the parameters that impact cash center performance from key characteristics of the cash cycle to core data and 1 volumes for your operation. The most fundamental parameters are the daily volumes of incoming and outgoing cash, percentage of banknotes and coins, and the quality and homogeneity of deliveries. In commercial cash centers, the number and quantity of customer deposits play a role, too. The analysis also looks at relevant central bank rules. Operational requirements range from process steps, staffing levels, equipment capacity, shifts, and delivery deadlines to receiving and processing times and volume fluctuations in the course of the day and year. We also determine your software needs for issues such as logistics, material flows, ERP, or management information. In this phase, you receive advice from our experts on technology and operational processes. The result: a comprehensive, detailed requirements profile for your future cash center solution.

6 Perfectly customized for you: we tailor your solution to your needs. Phase 2: Solution design Next, we develop, present, and explain solution models that match your requirements profile. Discussions about the pros and cons of each model also reflect our knowledge of best practices for each area. Together, we develop the solution that best meets your special requirements. We then plan and design your solution in detail from the equipment, systems, and workflows to the software, automation, and security plan. As you might expect, we also handle resource planning and support your design architect. Your cash center solution, being modular, scales well and adapts readily to future requirements. This puts your long-range plans on a solid grounding and protects your investment for a long time to come. We issue a detailed specification based on the model, submit a custom proposal to you, and prepare for the joint implementation.
