More time efficiency
Greater transparency
Stronger control over daily operations
By integrating Odoo PoS with the apg smarttill® solution, they helped a bakery chain in Germany with nearly 40 stores revolutionise its cash management process — making it faster, more secure, and completely transparent.
Cash may feel old-fashioned in today’s digital-first world, but for many businesses, like bakeries, it still plays a vital role at the point of sale. Managing it, however, often comes with high costs: time-consuming counting, lack of transparency, and the constant risk of discrepancies.
At Odoo Days 2025, ODION GmbH and apg Solutions shared how they turned these challenges into an opportunity. By integrating Odoo PoS with the apg smarttill® solution, they helped a bakery chain in Germany with nearly 40 stores revolutionise its cash management process — making it faster, more secure, and completely transparent.
This customer success story shows how smart hardware and flexible software can work together to redefine one of retail’s most traditional workflows. Read on to see how cash management at the PoS was transformed and watch the video from Odoo Days to get inspired.
The Challenge: Simplifying Cash at the PoS
Even in a digital-first world, the point of sale still handles large amounts of cash, especially in bakeries where 80% of the transactions are done in cash. This brings familiar challenges:
- Time-consuming end-of-day reconciliation
- Risk of loss through human error when giving change
- Risk of loss through theft
- Limited transparency and oversight
- Inefficient cash management processes
For a bakery chain with nearly 40 stores, these challenges multiplied across every location, creating operational headaches and risk exposure.
The Solution: Odoo PoS × apg smarttill®
ODION GmbH implemented a powerful combination: Odoo PoS fully integrated with the apg smarttill® solution.
- apg smarttill® automatically counts and reconciles cash in real-time.
- Integrated into Odoo PoS, the system delivers transparency, accuracy, and control across all stores.
- Together, hardware and software create a future-proof solution that merges cash handling with digital innovation.
The Results: Transparent, Efficient, Secure
The bakery chain experienced immediate improvements:
✅ No manual cash counting at closing – automated reconciliation
✅ Real-time monitoring of cash balances across stores
✅ Transaction-level visibility – discrepancies traced to the cashier instantly
✅ Better liquidity management with live verification of movements
✅ Meaningful reporting to support strategic decision-making
Why It Matters
This success story shows how even the most traditional process – handling cash – can be transformed through digital integration. For businesses with cash transactions, this solution brings:
- More time efficiency
- Greater transparency
- Stronger control over daily operations
