Efficiently into the Future: Deutsche Bundesbank Modernizes Branch Network

Modernize, consolidate, build anew: This is the motto of Deutsche Bank for a future-proof branch network. The focus is on more efficient processes and a long-term secured cash supply.

Meeting challenges now and in the future

It is decided. Eight of its current 31 branches. But the reason does not lie solely in the reduced utilization of these locations. Behind it is a plan that envisions the branch reduction, as well as the modernization of branches in need of renovation and the construction of new buildings. The aim is to work more efficiently and cost-effectively without jeopardizing the cash supply—the focus is on ensuring it.

Regardless of current cash developments, maintaining the presence of the Deutsche Bundesbank is of utmost priority. A significant decision that benefits all involved in the cash cycle and ultimately the consumers.

Efficient logistics with digital solutions

This decision by the Deutsche Bundesbank makes it clear: Forward-thinking planning paves the way to a safe future. A crucial part of this is a highly efficient logistics system supported by digitalization. 

The foundation for this can be laid by banks as well as value-added service providers with a modern cash center, for example, with the Cash Center Software. With the increasing demands of value logistics in mind, the application—which has also been available since this year—promises more transparency, security, and efficiency for cash management. Functions such as the systematic control of counts or the generation of Bundesbank deposits can also be added.

The integration of MobiTour and MobiTick enables flexible tour planning, reliable incident management, and ad-hoc synchronization to ensure cash services and fulfill orders. Combined, the strengths of both applications open up: They offer a fast and secure data exchange between cash center and tours.

Next step: Automation and demand forecasting

Equally essential is efficient planning based on real needs. (ICC) is a significant partner as a specialist in the automation of cash processes and demand forecasting. With the help of AI models, those responsible can precisely predict the actual cash demand. This not only helps reduce operational costs but also improves the security and reliability of cash supply.

The automation of cash processes and demand forecasting based on AI models is crucial to determine the actual cash demand, serve it efficiently, and thus successfully meet the challenges—current and future.

Stability in times of change

The Deutsche Bundesbank exemplifies it: Branch reduction at all costs is not the solution. Instead, it develops new ideas and concepts to ensure cash supply. That the combination of efficient logistics, precise demand forecasts, and advanced software should be part of this to ensure a stable and reliable cash supply quickly becomes apparent to those responsible when taking a closer look at the advantages of speed, transparency, and security.
