Abstract
Implementations described and claimed herein provide systems and methods for till management. In one implementation, a recycling of notes is triggered using a recycler controller. The notes are recycled using a cash recycler, and the notes corresponding to a till. A coin value of plurality of coins corresponding to the till is recorded using the recycler controller. The coin value is determined by capturing a weight of a set of coins of the plurality of coins corresponding to a designated coin denomination. The weight of the set of coins is captured using a coin scale. The till is validated based on the coin value and the recycling of the notes.
Claims18
A method for till management, the method comprising:
- triggering a recycling of notes using a recycler controller, the notes recycled using a cash recycler, the notes corresponding to a till;
- recording a coin value of plurality of coins corresponding to the till using the recycler controller, the coin value determined by capturing a weight of a set of coins of the plurality of coins corresponding to a designated coin denomination, the weight of the set of coins captured using a coin scale;
- comparing the coin value to a standard level for the till;
- validating the till based on the comparing and the recycling of the notes, the till validated when the weight of the set of coins matches the standard level;
- generating analytics for optimizing funds for the till for at least one of a designated period or a designated location based on a value of the notes and the coin value;
- and
- predicting a point when additional funds will be needed for the till using the analytics.
One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media storing computer-executable instructions for performing a computer process on a computing system, the computer process comprising:
- triggering a recycling of notes, the notes recycled using a cash recycler, the notes corresponding to a till;
- generating a first prompt for weighing a first denomination of coins of a plurality of coins associated with the till;
- recording a first coin value for the first denomination of coins, the first coin value determined by capturing a first weight of the plurality of coins corresponding to the first denomination of coins, the first weight captured using a coin scale;
- generating a second prompt for weighing a second denomination of coins of the plurality of coins associated with the till;
- recording a second coin value for the second denomination of coins, the second coin value determined by capturing a second weight of the plurality of coins corresponding to the second denomination of coins, the second weight captured using the coin scale;
- comparing the first coin value to a first standard level for the till and the second coin value to a second standard level for the till;
- validating the till based on the comparing and the recycling of the notes, the till validated when the first weight matches the first standard level for the till and the second weight matches the second standard level for the till;
- generating analytics for optimizing funds for at least one of a designated period or a designated location based on the first coin value, the second coin value, and the recycling of the notes;
- and
- predicting a point when additional funds will be needed for the till using the analytics.
A system for till management, the system comprising:
- a cash recycler, the cash recycler configured to recycle notes associated with a till;
- a coin scale, the coin scale configured to capture a weight of a set of coins corresponding to a coin denomination for the till, a coin value for the set of coins being determined based on the weight of the set of coins;
- a recycler controller in communication with the cash recycler and the coin scale, the recycler controller configured to validate the till based on a comparison of the coin value to a standard level of the till and the notes, the till validated when the weight matches the standard level;
- and
- a fund optimization controller in communication with the recycler controller, the fund optimization controller configured to generate analytics for optimizing funds for at least one of a designated period or a designated location based on the coin value and a value of the notes to predict a point when additional funds will be needed for the till.
