Protect the cash

Now, perhaps more than ever, cash is a temptation

Published: 19 March, 2009

Don't let the recession kill your business - that's the message from Safer Systems, a leading security specialist to the vending industry. While nobody, it seems, is immune to the devastating effects of this recession, we can make certain that businesses are prepared by ensuring they are operating at maximum efficiency. That means preventing them from haemorrhaging between five and eight per cent of operating profit - a staggering £120m* for the UK vending industry.

As the recession deepens, the temptation to pilfer will increase for hard-hit operators, hitting an already beleaguered industry further. Practical security products, however, will not only put a stop to costly ‘shrinkage', but will enhance operator efficiency, too, without costing a fortune.

The self-locking cash bag, for instance, allows for quick and discreet cash removal from machines, while also locking shut the moment it is removed from the funnel, putting a stop to pilfering. Similarly, a high security locking system, with a unique lock and key code, will lock-out unauthorised access to a machine estate. Too often, operators use the generic lock and keys provided by the machine manufacturers, not realising that the code is the same on thousands of machines, greatly reducing the security of their estate.

Steven Bane, Managing Director, Safer Systems, explains: "We cannot afford to ignore the increasing cost of vending crime in these difficult times; now is the time to focus on the inevitable rise in crime against your business, from vandalism, shrinkage and theft. And now, with our new range of products, it has never been simpler or cheaper.
