Digital Cash Logistics: ZIEMANN GROUP relies on ALVARA | Digital Solutions for paperless collaboration with customers

```html

Leipzig, 14.02.2023. More and more retail companies pursue the goal of digitizing processes in their branches and are implementing a PC- and paperless back office. An important prerequisite here is digital collaboration and such interfaces with cash-in-transit service providers (WDL). ZIEMANN SICHERHEIT Holding GmbH has long recognized this need and has been using a proven solution for its cash centers for many years: the Pecunia Software from ALVARA | Digital Solutions. Newly added is the ALVARA ICC-Connector. With tangible results: Customers are already benefiting from more efficiency, flexibility, and above all, security for their own cash logistics.

Cash will remain an essential component for retail in the near future. Therefore, a forward-looking strategy and infrastructure for cash management are necessary. For branches with a back office that can be managed paperless and according to the "Mobile first" approach with a smartphone, digitally created receipts and invoices are needed. With the ZIEMANN GROUP and the switch to completely digital processes, retailers can start here.

The ZIEMANN GROUP paves the way for retail towards a smart and secure solution by introducing the ICC-Connector as part of the Pecunia solution from ALVARA | Digital Solutions. This supports cash-in-transit service providers in cash and valuables handling and maps additional processes such as liability transitions digitally and transparently. With the ICC-Connector as an interface to the ALVARA Interactive Cash Control Platform of the software provider, order and master data can also be exchanged between both applications. Through the ICC App, users can also benefit from all the advantages on the go.

“Many retailers are increasingly focusing on the Mobile-first approach. Here, the ICC App comes in just right. Because for both sides - retail and us cash-in-transit service providers - the app covers all cash processes of the branch - from cash ordering and delivery to receipts and the legitimation of cash couriers,” says Heinz Spiegelmacher, Managing Director of ZIEMANN SICHERHEIT Holding GmbH. “In practice, this brings considerable added value for all process participants. During each service, the branch employee simply scans the QR code on the mobile device of our ZIEMANN employee. The ICC App displays all information about the cash transaction just in time. Including whether the involved cash courier is actually authorized. This provides additional security for our customers in their points of sale. Additionally, printed receipts are replaced by a digital signature directly on the scanner - certainly an important contribution to more sustainability and the conservation of ecological resources.”

The digital software solution and thus the paperless processes bring benefits on different levels: Digital procedures make a positive contribution to sustainable actions. Employees of the retail and the ZIEMANN GROUP can work more efficiently due to the fast handling during cash pickup. Moreover, the elimination of paper lists brings more security and a streamlined workflow.
