BS Beck brings more efficiency, security, and transparency to cash logistics processes with logistics apps from ALVARA | Digital Solutions.

Leipzig, 23.09.2024. Since 1991, BS Beck Sicherheitsdienst GmbH, which has been part of the Gregor Lehnert Group (UGL) since 2009, stands for security with tradition and future. In addition to traditional cash and valuables logistics, the company specializes in technical cash services in the form of digital track-and-trace, safe, and deposit solutions as well as CashEDI. BS Beck thus stands as a reliable partner for banks, retail, municipalities, gastronomy, museums, and others - easing their burden concerning cash handling. To further reduce time efforts on tour and at the customer's site, the cash service provider has been using logistics apps from ALVARA | Digital Solutions since 2023.

The shift from manual procedures to digitally-supported processes benefits the cooperation in various ways. Primarily, efficient and thus time-saving cash logistics ensures a sustainable partnership. “We opted for the use of ALVARA logistics apps because the process optimization not only promises relief for our employees but also focuses on customer satisfaction. Maximum security throughout the entire cash logistics is also ensured by the highest possible standards,” explains Dr. Markus Lehnert, Managing Director, BS Beck Sicherheitsdienst GmbH. 

Efficiency and transparency are key benefits of digitization running through all work steps. An example: Digital cash courier legitimation renders paper lists unnecessary. Today, a QR code can be found on the scanner of the BS-Beck cash courier, which customers can easily verify with a smartphone. Tedious searching on a paper list is no longer needed, and both the liability transfer and cash courier legitimation are performed quickly, securely, and digitally documented. Data protection challenges associated with comprehensive paper lists can also be overcome with digital legitimation.

Furthermore, all parties gain more traceability with the logistics apps. Whether when taking over the containers in the branch or delivering them to the cash center - all liability transfers can be followed from the headquarters and are automatically and reliably documented. Users of ALVARA Interactive Cash Control (ICC) as a platform or app can see their receipts, container statuses, counting results, and reports there.

“Compelling argument for the software solution: By using ALVARA Interactive Cash Control and linking both solutions, thinking goes further. All data generated in the cash process is available for further use, not just at the end of a tour as before, but also near-time as needed”, says Dr. Lehnert. 

Digital cash courier legitimation, digital receipts, which, for example, eliminate the need for analog archiving, or the generation of a one-time code in the app shorten stop times, are sustainable and save resources. “To maintain security, transparency, and efficiency in the entire process, it is crucial to digitally map and make the entire cash logistics traceable. With this goal, we set out to offer all parties in the cash cycle – cash service providers, financial institutions, and retailers – solutions from a single source today,” summarizes Robert Wolf, Managing Director at ALVARA | Digital Solutions. BS Beck has already been convinced by these advantages.
