There are several different cash management platforms available to banks and IADs today helping businesses to anticipate currency needs and arrange the logistics of getting currency efficiently and safely from one location to the next.
One such program is the Integrated Currency Manager from Fiserv, a web-based currency forecasting and logistics solution that addresses the dynamic supply chain requirements of supplying, managing and transporting currency across multiple cash points and locations.
Integrated Currency Manager can automate forecasting needs for ATMs, branches, vaults and self-service devices such as in-branch currency dispensing units and remote currency capture/recycling machines.
