Streamlining Cash Management: A Case Study

Gainfort Ltd., a family-owned business operating two Nisa Local convenience stores in Cambridgeshire, UK, faced recurring cash count discrepancies at shift ends. Owner Sunil Lahal noticed mistakes in tallying sales against cash totals, leading to time-consuming investigations of staff errors.
