  • Publication number: 20060090909
    Abstract: An automated management system for monitoring and controlling distribution and storage of money tills and other items, and linking tracking of employee productivity to time in receipt of a till. The system comprises a cabinet, a control panel, and a personal computer. The cabinet is mounted through a wall to provide an interface having a front side accessible from a first area and a rear side accessible from a second area, such as a cash room. The interior cabinet space is divided into compartments that are selectively accessible from both the front and rear of the cabinet. Items are loaded and removed from the rear by back room personnel and from the front by employees using or distributing the items. The system is operable to anticipate, based upon work schedules, needed items, such as till types or amounts; compile and maintain useful associated records, including employee productivity; and link to other systems to further improve efficiency.

  • Publication number: 20050205654
    Abstract: A revenue balancing method and computer program that more quickly, accurately, and easily reconciles or balances revenue contained in cash drawers at the end of cashiers' shifts or breaks while at the same time building or constructing new cash drawers for new shifts. The method permits cash drawers to be constructed and/or replenished with coins from a perpetual inventory of loose coins rather than requiring the use of rolls of coins.
