Brink's Introduces Cash and Coin Till Management Functionality

Brink's U.S. introduced a new safe to its CompuSafe service line by entering into an agreement with Tidel Engineering, L.P. Brink's will expand its offering to include the full line of SentinelTM smart safe solutions, which have been widely adopted by convenience stores and quick serve restaurants in the U.S. and internationally. To meet changing customer demands, Sentinel is the third new safe that has been added to the CompuSafe family of smart safes over the past 12 months.

With the addition of the CompuSafe Sentinel smart safe, Brink's capabilities now include cash and coin till management through tube vend and note dispenser technology. Brink's U.S. has been providing innovative cash management solutions through its CompuSafe Service and has continuously sought out industry leaders to develop new solutions for automating the in store cash-handling process, aggregating deposit information and providing consolidated reporting.

"From the beginning Brink's has integrated cutting-edge technology to create new ways to manage cash payments," said Jim Poteet, Senior Vice President of Product Development and Innovation, Brink's U.S. "Working with multiple hardware providers continues the Brink's tradition of innovation and commitment to evolve our product offering through leading technologies. This strategy allows us to offer even more industry-specific choices to our customers."

"Brink's CompuSafe strategy has always been customer-centric. Managing cash is a vital part of every retail operation, but the way it's managed is unique to each business," said John Rhoads, CompuSafe Senior Product Director, Brink's U.S. "While all retailers may share similar cash management challenges, each segment has specific requirements. Over the past two decades, Brink's has developed strategic alliances to round out our product line while increasing operational efficiency and managing risk."

Brink's CompuSafe Service includes a variety of safe options from multiple manufacturers, including Corporate Safe Specialists, NamSys Inc. and now Tidel Engineering, L.P. These solutions offer a wide range of features and functionality to fit a multitude of businesses and industries.
