Frequently Asked Questions
A cash management solution is a system that automates how a business tracks, counts, and reconciles cash. Rather than relying on manual counts, it captures cash movement in real time, ties it to sales data, and feeds that information into a back-office platform. For businesses, this means less time spent counting and a clearer picture of what’s actually happening with money across every lane and location.
The smarttill® weighs the contents of each compartment after every transaction, which reconciles the actual cash in the drawer in real time. Any discrepancy is flagged immediately, giving managers the ability to investigate quickly rather than discovering a problem at the end of a shift. Combined with a detailed audit trail and optional CCTV integration, the system has been shown to reduce cash losses by up to 90%.
Yes. By eradicating the need for manual till counts, cash lifts, and shift-change reconciliations, the smarttill® cash management solution drastically reduces workload. With this machine, your staff can spend more time serving customers and less time manually counting bills and coins.
The smarttill® solution integrates with a wide range of POS software packages through its built-in intelligence and the smarttill® Connector middleware, which gathers transaction data from any Windows-based POS system. We also provide POS drivers and an XML interface for deeper integration where required.
Yes, the smarttill® solution features a plug-and-play design that connects seamlessly to virtually any POS software, tablet, or receipt printer. The smarttill® Connector enables you to collect transaction data from any Windows-based POS system without extensive integration.
A standard cash drawer opens and closes to hold cash. The smarttill® does all of that, plus it automatically weighs and counts the cash inside after each transaction, reconciles that count against POS sales data, and sends the results to the CurrentSee® cloud back-office platform in real time. Where a standard drawer requires manual counting at the start and end of every shift, the smarttill® eliminates those counts entirely, freeing up staff time and reducing the risk of human error.
Savings vary by business size and cash volume, with larger businesses or multi-location operations see significant savings over time. Meanwhile, cash losses are significantly reduced with modern systems, and cash-in-transit fees also decrease because you can optimize collection schedules using the real-time data these systems collect.
Deployment is designed to be straightforward. The smarttill® Connector integrates with existing POS systems without extensive integration work, and the CurrentSee® software can be deployed quickly to deliver real-time insights. For larger rollouts, our Solution Architects first conduct a thorough site survey, covering transaction volumes, cash-to-card ratios, and staff workflows, to ensure a smooth transition.
Grocery stores, convenience stores, restaurants, hospitality environments, and the cannabis industry see the strongest returns, as cash makes up a high proportion of transactions. Coffee shop chains, bars, and multi-lane retailers with high foot traffic also benefit considerably, as labor savings and loss prevention compound across locations.
While cash recyclers are typically positioned in back-office environments, the smarttill® operates at the lane level. It sits where the transaction happens and focuses on real-time cash counting, reconciliation, and data capture rather than physical cash dispensing. For most retail and hospitality businesses, the smarttill® offers a much more cost-effective path to reducing cash loss and achieving operational savings.
ROI depends on the number of lanes, transaction volume, and current cash-handling costs, but the payback period is typically 9 to 12 months in most retail environments. For chain retailers managing cash across dozens of locations, the ROI accelerates considerably, as savings scale with each additional site.
