With multiple points of sale (POS), hotels and resorts have greater success with the addition of smart safe technology.
Because hotels and resorts accept cash at so many different points of purchase, it’s vital that cash management is effective and accurate. There are restaurants, bars, the front desk, gift / flower shops, and sometimes other areas where cash is transacted. Using an AMSEC CashWizard Smart Safe can streamline both accuracy and profitability, making cash handling and management less a problem and more a solution.
From the time cash is accepted to the time it’s deposited, your cash can be safe from theft, counterfeit losses, and human error by using a CashWizard Smart Safe. Following are some points to consider for hoteliers and resort owners to ensure cash management is secure, manageable, and profitable.
Well-Trained Employees

Selecting a smart safe cash management system, ensures your employees will easily learn and use the simple process. Employees value smart safe technology for several reasons. First, they don’t have to leave the premises to make deposits, alleviating the worry of discrepancies, whether internal or external. And well-trained employees are usually eager to share what they know with new employees, instilling more confidence in the team overall.

Smart Safe Innovations from AMSEC
AMSEC was recently awarded a U.S. patent which governs the ability of its line of smart safes to automatically connect to a bank or third party to place a change order. Here’s how this recent innovation is a valued benefit.
AMSEC’s smart safes have secure chambers for receiving cash deposits and a sensor for counting the secured cash. The safes allow merchants to buy change in specific denominations. During the courier pick-up, the courier retrieves the cash deposited and delivers the change order. The customer is debited when the change order is placed and credited when the daily credit file is sent to the customer’s bank. This greatly simplifies reconciliation for the customer.
