From Cash to Digital: How Azimut EDK Transforms Cash Deposit Transactions
Cash remains a key part of transactions in retail, gaming venues, fuel stations, and transport hubs, but managing it efficiently is a challenge. Businesses often rely on Cash Deposit Machines (CDMs) to streamline cash handling, reducing manual processes and improving security. However, most CDMs operate as standalone systems, limiting integration with financial platforms, POS networks, and multi-vendor setups.
Azimut’s Experience Development Kit (EDK) transforms cash deposit modules for self service solutions into fully connected, business-friendly cash automation tools. Instead of operating in isolation, CDMs powered by EDK integrate seamlessly with financial networks, back-office systems, and multi-location operations.
What is EDK for CDMs?
Azimut EDK is a hardware-agnostic banking selfservice machine software solution that enhances CDMs, making them more efficient, secure, and adaptable to business needs. Instead of relying on vendor-restricted software, businesses can:
- Integrate CDMs with existing financial and reconciliation systems
- Automate deposits and enable real-time tracking across multiple locations
- Customise workflows to fit specific cash-handling requirements
Key Benefits for Businesses
Automate Deposits & Reconciliation
Traditional cash-handling methods involve manual counting, log entries, and end-of-day reconciliation delays. With Azimut EDK, every deposit is instantly recorded, categorised, and reconciled in real time, reducing errors and eliminating manual cash balancing.
Real-Time Cash Monitoring
Gain full visibility over cash transactions across multiple locations. Whether tracking deposits at a single store or monitoring a chain of CDMs, businesses can access real-time cash insights to optimise liquidity and prevent cash shortages.
Bulk Cash Deposits & Cash Recycling
For businesses handling high cash volumes, Azimut EDK supports bulk cash deposits without compromising processing speed. Additionally, with cash recycling capabilities, deposited cash can be repurposed for withdrawals, reducing the need for frequent cash refills and improving operational efficiency.
Multi-Vendor CDM Compatibility
Many businesses face limitations with vendor-locked CDM software, which restricts flexibility and increases costs. Azimut EDK is hardware-agnostic, allowing seamless integration with CDMs from different manufacturers, so businesses can expand their network without replacing existing infrastructure.
Scalable for Multi-Location Operations
Retail chains, gaming venues, and large-scale enterprises need standardised cash management across multiple locations. Azimut EDK enables centralised control, allowing businesses to manage CDM deposits, track transactions, and reconcile funds across their entire network from a single interface.
Stronger Security & Fraud Prevention
Handling large amounts of cash increases exposure to fraud, theft, and mismanagement. Azimut EDK enhances security by automating direct-to-bank deposits, reducing on-site cash storage, and providing detailed audit trails for every transaction. This minimises risks while ensuring regulatory compliance.
