FINANCE | AFRICA | Cash Escort Management in Africa with Fingerprint Verification

Background
 
There is an ever-increasing demand for cash throughout Africa. A South African cash escort company provides ATMs of five major banks and other customers in South Africa with cash escort services. The company has a large number of armored vehicles for cash escort work. To further improve the efficiency of cash escort services, ensure on-time delivery of cash, and minimize risks, the company wants to use information technology to realize the intelligence of the cash escort process.
 
Challenges
 
1. Cash cycle-counting in the previous management model was mainly carried out manually, which was inefficient and error-prone.
2. Cash escort among vaults and outlets is verified by manual verification, which causes counterfeiting, forgery, and potential safety hazards.
3. Manual record and information comparison of identity authentication during cash handover is cumbersome and takes a long time.
4. During the escort, the manager cannot manage and control the position and operation route of the running vehicle in real-time. Once an emergency occurs, it is not conducive to timely assistance.
5 The cash flow business process has no real-time digital records, and cannot be generated automatically as reports, which brings difficulty inefficient management.
 
Solution
 
In response to the needs of the cash escort company in South African, Chainway configured a C71 fingerprint handheld computer for the cash escort process management of all the escort vehicles. With an integrated fingerprint recognition function, the workers' identity in all escort processes can be authenticated. Besides, 2D function of Chainway C71 mobile computer help in scanning the driver's license for intelligent identity verification. All the information is uploaded to the information management system via a wireless network in real-time, ensuring the safety of cash escort and handover during the transshipment process.
 
Effects
 
1. It changes the traditional manual operation of cash escort, fully realizes the electronic processing, and improves the informatization management level of the cash escort company.
2. It makes full use of scientific and technological means to realize the information management of cash cycle-counting, handover, and transshipment of each outlet, optimize the cash escort workflow and improve work efficiency.
3. C71 is used to intelligent identify the handover personnel and verify multiple information such as lines, outlets, tellers, cash types, etc., effectively avoiding human error.
4. With the application of C71, it realizes the real-time tracking and recording of cash escort. The manager can check the flow information of each escort vehicle in real-time through the back-end system, which provides the basis for business dispatch and planning, and improves operational efficiency.
