Germany’s Bally Wulff Cash Management has adopted UK-based cash-handling solutions company Innovative Technology’s new SMART Coin System following a successful field trial.
The two companies began their collaboration on the project for new, smaller and more flexible change machines in spring last year, with field trials using the SMART Coin System starting soon after. During the six-month trial, the system’s speed and operational performance was evaluated.
“When we first heard about this new all-in-one coin handling solution we were immediately excited about the new opportunities this would open up for us,” said Andreas Günther, managing director of Bally Wulff Cash Management. “We worked closely with ITL and quickly found a way to integrate its SMART Coin System and its SMART Payout recycler into one of our existing coin change machine cabinets.
“This successful collaboration with ITL has enabled us to create a state-of-the-art coin change machine that has a much smaller footprint than previous machines while delivering a significant improvement in operating speed and greater flexibility."
Marcus Tiedt, sales director at Innovative Technology, said the two companies had worked closely to ensure the success of the project.
“Bally Wulff Cash Management has always been at the forefront of the industry, adopting innovative solutions that improve efficiency and differentiate its service,” he said. “The results of the field trial have been impressive, delivering a reduction in operating costs.”
The SMART Coin System validates, discriminates and stores mixed coins, eliminating the need for multiple hoppers. It has a coin hopper capacity of 1500 x €1.
“We’re delighted they’re adopting the SMART Coin System in the German market," Tiedt added.
