Let’s talk about data. Our lives revolve around it. Data builds cars. Data develops medicine. Data sends people into space. Data also helps retailers make merchandising and scheduling decisions. And now thanks to APG Cash Drawer, data can help you manage your cash with the SMARTtill® Solution. The system keeps real-time cash counts, down to the number of bills and coins of each denomination in each cash drawer and provides an audit trail to the cash office. And it does it with data. Plain and simple, The SMARTtill® Cash Management Solution is a data powerhouse. The data can be populated into any suitable back office analytics software and can be used to support intelligent cash management, enabling real-time cash visibility at the POS. This allows corporate management to make quick, accurate decisions based on real-time data. When integrated with the retailer’s headquarters cash management or loss prevention systems, the data stream supplies retailers with additional business intelligence including manager security alerts, cash transaction errors, cash lifts, float top-ups, instant cashier assessment, and cash drawer performance analytics to identify training opportunities. Not all cashiers are created equal and we get that. That’s why the SMARTtill® Solution is the… well, solution. When coupled with predictive analytics, the SMARTtill® Technology enables retailers to work with optimum float during peak times and special promotions. Retailers can utilize the cash data gathered over time, delivering seamless customer service. Further efficiencies are achieved by looking at the overall profile of the best and worst-performing stores or lanes. Use the data for your needs, driving cost reduction and enabling the visibility that you require. Our lives revolve around data. Why should your cash management be any different? Discover the potential of data with the SMARTtill® Cash Management Solution.

It all comes down to Treasury. At the end of the day, a business cannot survive without profits. Rocket science, I know. But here’s the thing, the cash that is sitting in cash drawers or in a smart safe at the POS, or in the back office 24 hours a day, that’s “dead” cash for a retailer. This is cash that could be accounted for and gaining interest in the bank or waiting for your next meaningful investment. And while we might not be developing rockets at APG, with the SMARTtill® Cash Management Solution your profits can really soar. The SMARTtill® Solution reduces the amount of dead cash and delivers cashier accountability electronically, eliminating the need to have spare tills full of cash kept in back office safes. Instead, with the use of predictive analytics, you can optimize your float for busy, high traffic periods and store promotions. When properly paired with data analytics, retailers can also utilize the cash data gathered to renegotiate insurance contracts, minimizing the frequency of armored car services, or Cash In Transit pick up costs. Predictive analytics can also reduce the number of cash pickups and deliveries, especially during slower seasonal periods, saving retailers hundreds per month, per location. If we think back on the powerful data that the SMARTtill® Solution provides, this information can be used as an invaluable labor and cost-saving tool, which, you guessed it, increases your profitability. You see, the 4 pillars of the SMARTtill® Solution work together seamlessly, constantly orbiting one another like satellites in space. Our engineers have developed a solution that can support your specific business intelligence needs. And even though we won’t be going into space anytime soon, here at APG we believe your cash management should revolve around you, allowing your business to soar to new heights.

REMOVING THE DRAWER
Open the cash drawer and remove the plastic coin and bill tray. Grasp the drawer by the sides of the front and lift the drawer up until it stops. Tip the front of the drawer down and pull the drawer out at an inclined angle.

REPLACING THE DRAWER
With the drawer front tipped down at an inclined angle, insert the drawer into the case about 2 inches. Lift the drawer up until it stops, and pull the drawer out until it stops and drops into operating (horizontal) position. See Figure 3. When the inner drawer is fully inserted, verify that the drawer opens and closes properly.

PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
Every six months the cash drawer slides should be cleaned and lubricated. Using a dry, lint-free cloth, wipe out the old grease, along with any accumulated dirt or debris, from the tracks and on the wheels. Do not use water or any type of liquid cleaner. After the old grease has been removed, apply a thin layer of lithium-bearing grease to the front and rear wheels.

The association’s vision is to be our industry’s indispensable resource. And the mission is to accelerate the success of our members by providing knowledge and connections. Our view here at APG is that the association does an outstanding job of that. But I think about the wisdom that we’ve gained as a company to understand where the market’s headed and how we might leverage some of those ideas to help us be a better company has been invaluable, and to help us understand how we can earn the privilege of being our customers’ best and preferred source for the things that we do. RetailNOW specifically gives the channel and its various participants an ability to get together on an annual basis, discuss the events, discuss the issues that are going on and challenging the market, and hopefully come out on the other end with some viable solutions. If you want to know what’s going on in the industry, if you want to connect with some of the smartest and best people in the industry, getting involved with the association, with the board, with the committees is really a valuable thing to do. I think the point-of-sale industry right now is being challenged with channel sustainability. RetailNOW, specifically in the RSPA as an overall organization, is a vehicle in which we have access to the industry-leading resellers, software, and hardware providers address the needs of this community. On a personal level, I’ve met a lot of amazing people, I’ve made some great friends, and had some fun too. I think the RSPA’s events are the place to be in the industry, and you should be there too.

Think about it, $1.63 trillion dollars in cash is currently circulating the US Market, according to the US Federal Reserve.
