Accurate forecasting of cash demand has always been crucial. However, fluctuating demand makes it difficult for banks and cash transport companies to act proactively. Modern technologies for cash demand forecasting provide valuable support to remain flexible and responsive.
Challenging cash handling. Relieving cash demand forecasts!
Cash logistics and financial institutions are under constant pressure to make their cash processes more efficient and profitable. Many commercial banks therefore outsource their processing or form partnerships to cut costs. Cash transport companies must also find ways to optimize route planning to minimize expenses, among other things.
In addition to route optimization, precise cash demand forecasting contributes to cost savings. Accurate forecasts reduce, for example, the number of necessary supply stops for ATMs if it turns out that less frequent refills are sufficient. With demand forecasting and route optimization, fixed routes for cash transport companies (CTCs) become obsolete, paving the way for flexibility and efficiency.
Cash forecasts – with technical support
Within bank branches and retail, accurate forecasting helps avoid unnecessary stops and thus reduce costs. But demand analysis is challenging. Closed bank branches and increased cash withdrawals in retail – to name just two factors – lead to changed cash flows. Determining the demand becomes a real mammoth task, which can be solved with technical support.
Modern forecasting tools rely on artificial intelligence and advanced algorithms to enable more accurate forecasts. By combining route optimization and cash demand forecasts, both banks and CTCs can make their processes more efficient. A feedback loop within the systems ensures that changes and adjustments are automatically taken into account in real-time. Thus, optimized planning runs throughout the entire process.
The future of cash forecasting
More efficient cash handling: a desire many cash players have. New technologies such as forecasting tools support this. However, the possibilities are far from exhausted. Whether data intelligence or artificial intelligence, smart software solutions will open up new opportunities for cash handling in the future.
It is only a matter of time until individual stakeholders will make use of these developments. Ultimately, further benefits accompany their use, such as continuous process improvement and competitiveness.
