| How can cash management system leverage data to accurately optimize each cash point? | Cash point data is a valuable resource. AI and machine learning can forecast withdrawals and deposits accurately, helping reduce logistics and interest costs across the network. | High-quality data with detailed inventory, history, and cadence is essential. Reporting by denomination and container type enables smarter decisions, yet many FIs still use outdated sources. |
| How can FIs optimize their cash handling and lessen the burden of the current manual process? | Cloud-native or as-a-service models ease implementation and maintenance while meeting security standards. Subscriptions also offer flexible options for CAPEX/OPEX management. | Smaller FIs may lack tools and expertise. Outsourcing to a managed service provider gives access to needed resources, reduces internal complexity, and helps banks achieve faster return on investment. |
