Leipzig, 19.10.2022. In the past, GWS Sicherheitsservice GmbH Magdeburg handled its cash processing and logistics through its own software. As part of the evolutionary development of processes, new customer requirements, and the associated development of the software solution, GWS faced a make-or-buy decision.
New procedures and sustainable solutions, such as largely eliminating paper through digital receipts, digital authentication, or automating the entire billing process, would have had to be integrated into the existing software. After a thorough analysis and evaluation of costs, benefits, opportunities, and risks, GWS decided to replace its own system with a market-proven standard: the Pecunia software from ALVARA | Digital Solutions. The goal: more flexibility, efficiency, security, and a maximum level of automation for daily cash handling operations.
“The Pecunia solution supports us in the areas of cash and valuables handling. Whether it’s the systematic control of counting, service orders, or billing: the software maps all processes digitally and automatically,” says Ronny Krakow, Managing Director of GWS Sicherheitsservice GmbH. “The ICC Connector as an interface to the Interactive Cash Control platform of ALVARA | Digital Solutions also enables the exchange of order and master data between Pecunia and ICC. The added value is evident because this completely eliminates the manual setup or entry of data for us.”
The advantage of the interplay between Pecunia and the ICC platform—the industry standard for trade, through the ICC Connector—is obvious: All cash-relevant processes run digitally and fully automated. This means there are no more unpleasant media breaks. In addition, GWS uses the MobiTour app for their cash transport drivers. This online scanner sends the data for cash supply and disposal to the ICC platform. “By combining all solutions, our processes are more efficient, transparent, and secure. As we also rely on a paperless exchange of receipts, driver lists, or tour data, we are already more sustainably positioned today.”
To make the most of the new solution, GWS is gradually migrating all customers to the new system. After the customer migration is completed, the rollout of Fakturio, the solution for automated digital billing by ALVARA | Digital Solutions, will be implemented. With Pecunia and Fakturio, the security service relies on a closed system and consistent processes, avoiding the loss of billing-relevant data. Here, the Pecunia software again plays a leading role: It transmits the services rendered regarding cash processing and logistics to the Fakturio system, which generates the invoices.
“Now and in the future—we benefit from the efficient, flexible, and intelligent cash and valuables handling of Pecunia. And at all levels: master data maintenance, coin logistics, mobile ticketing, or cash processing. But the best part is that the Cash Center software is easy to use. This saves us time and valuable resources,” summarizes Ronny Krakow.
