More Efficient Cash Management

Optimized Cash Handling Processes for Retail with Loomis
Retail Solutions Jul 17, 2026

The latest studies confirm it: cash remains an essential part of everyday life in Switzerland. Despite the growing popularity of digital payment methods, many customers still prefer the option of paying with cash. For retail businesses, neighborhood stores, gas stations, branch networks, and banks, this creates significant operational demands.

Cash registers, storage, transportation, and reconciliation of cash receipts – all of these processes must function securely and reliably. This is exactly where Retail Solutions from Loomis come in. By combining SafePoint and CIT / CMS (Cash-In-Transit and Cash Management Services), Loomis provides a comprehensive solution for the entire cash cycle. The result is greater efficiency, enhanced security, and improved transparency, allowing you to focus on your core business.

 

Why Cash Management Is a Critical Factor

Businesses in the Swiss retail sector are familiar with these challenges:
  • Time-consuming counting of daily cash receipts
  • Manual reconciliation and bookkeeping
  • Security risks related to cash storage and transportation
  • High administrative workload
  • Limited visibility into cash holdings and cash flowAllocation of valuable staff resources
Particularly in branch networks or businesses handling large volumes of cash, these processes generate considerable costs. At the same time, requirements for security, traceability, and efficiency continue to increase.

Modern cash management therefore goes far beyond traditional cash logistics. Integrated solutions are needed that automate the entire cash-handling process while ensuring maximum control.
 

SafePoint: The Smart Beginning of the Cash Cycle

The cash process starts exactly where revenue is generated – at the point of sale.

With SafePoint, cash receipts are processed directly on site. Employees insert banknotes into the intelligent safe system. The cash is automatically validated, counted, and securely stored.

For your business, this means:

  • Fewer manual processing steps
  • Greater accuracy in cash handling
  • Secure storage of cash receipts
  • Reduced cash discrepancies
  • Less internal workload for staff
  • No unnecessary trips to the bank

Instead of manually counting cash at the end of the day or preparing it for transportation, SafePoint handles these tasks. This helps avoid errors and standardize processes.

At a time when qualified personnel are in short supply, this provides meaningful relief for employees. They can focus on the activities that create the greatest value: customer service and day-to-day operations.

 

Better Visibility of Your Liquidity Position

In addition to security, transparency plays a crucial role in effective cash management.

Finance, Operations, and Treasury managers always need a clear overview of current cash holdings. With SafePoint, you gain real-time visibility into your cash management processes, including:

  • Current cash balances
  • Deposits and transactions
  • Cash flow development
  • Historical transaction data
  • Traceable reporting

This transparency supports more effective liquidity planning and simplifies key business decisions. Organizations with multiple locations particularly benefit from a consolidated overview of all cash holdings and transactions.

This version is approximately the same length as your original, with only grammar, readability, and business wording improved.

 

CIT / CMS: Secure Cash Logistics Without Detours

Once cash has been securely stored in the SafePoint system, the next step in the cash cycle begins.

With CIT (Cash-In-Transit) and CMS (Cash Management Services), Loomis takes care of the professional collection, transportation, and processing of funds.

Trained Loomis personnel collect the cash directly from your location. The handover is carried out securely and efficiently, without internal transportation requirements and without additional effort for your team.

The Added Value for Your Business:

  • No need to transport cash internally
  • Reduced security risks
  • Professional and insured handling
  • Complete traceability
  • Reduced workload for employees
  • Standardized processes across all locations 

Throughout the entire process, cash remains within a controlled and secure value chain. This reduces both risk and internal effort.

Security Throughout the Entire Cash Management Process

Security is a core requirement in modern cash management.

The Retail Solutions from Loomis protect cash throughout the entire cycle.

During deposit, automatic banknote validation, secure storage within the SafePoint system, and reduced cash levels at checkout locations provide an additional layer of security.

During transportation, trained personnel, standardized security procedures, and insured cash transportation solutions ensure a high level of protection.

Controlled processing of funds, comprehensive documentation, and transparent tracking of all transactions complete the process.

This combination reduces risks such as theft, loss, and counting errors. As a result, your staff can focus on essential business activities.
