A secure and efficient cash logistics - this is still a dream for many cash actors today. Complex processes and manual efforts around counting, sorting, authenticity verification, or documentation of cash transactions make this vision burst like a bubble. The fact that digital processes and automatically exchanged data can provide a solution has often gone unnoticed. Not so with Götz Geld- und Wertedienste GmbH. For many years, they have relied on digital solutions that optimize cash logistics processes. With a new cash center and suitable software, the company aims to further expand its advantages.
Forward Thinking: Götz Geld- und Wertedienste GmbH Relies on Digital Cash Logistics
Cash logistics can be expensive, demands resources, and is increasingly under innovation pressure. Therefore, a well-thought-out cost management, efficient processes, and the integration of pioneering solutions are required. For Götz Geld- und Wertedienste GmbH, this has been clear for more than 15 years. To continuously provide reliable and competent services to their customers, the company does not rest on past successes.
Just over two years ago, Götz Geld- und Wertedienste took the next step towards future-oriented cash logistics processes - with the introduction of ALVARA | Digital Solutions. "In mid-2021, the mobile application went into regular operation. Since then, our processes have significantly streamlined, and our colleagues have been relieved," said Daniel Reichelt, Operations and Branch Manager, Götz Geld- und Wertedienste GmbH. If a driver needs to pick up a safebag at retail companies, he scans it. More efficiency is brought into the process through the digital receipts of the cash handover, which can be displayed and signed directly on the device with the new scanning technology. "Printouts become unnecessary. In addition, their digital successors save time, archiving efforts, and help protect the environment," notes Daniel Reichelt.
Driver authentication can also be digitally depicted in a more efficient and GDPR-compliant manner. The Götz driver's scanner generates a QR code for each authentication process. When a store employee reads this with a smartphone, he is immediately informed whether the driver is actually authorized for the cash pickup. This accelerates the process and is equally advantageous for data protection reasons. Security is emphasized here in contrast to the previous paper lists.
New Cash Center for Götz Thuringia - More Efficiency and Transparency with Software Solution
All strands combined, lead to the actual added value. Because by transmitting and storing data after cash handover to the proven online platform of ALVARA (ICC), digital documentation in real-time is possible - from beginning to end. Thus, there is digital transparency in every section of the physical cash process: From pickup to the arrival of the cash at the cash center, all steps are traceable.
The secure and error-free counting, sorting, and processing of cash stands and falls with a well-thought-out and modernly controlled cash center. Since the demand in Thuringia became increasingly higher, Götz Geld- und Wertedienste decided to establish a new cash center in Weimar. Also in this case, the decision-makers considered digital processes from the beginning to withstand the increasing amount of coinage, specific customer requirements, and especially the increased cost pressure.
On 18.09.2023, operations started. Since then, cash and valuables handling can be depicted cost-efficiently and comprehensively traceable. Whether money processing, route planning, container logistics, master data maintenance, or reporting - with the software for the cash center, all functions around systematic cash logistics management can be reflected. The advantages for Götz Geld- und Wertedienste are clear:
- • More security for cash handling - through video surveillance and four-eyes principle
- • Exact control of access rights
- • Transparency through comprehensive documentation
- • Time savings through a high degree of automation and established processes
