Score big with Safescan cash handling products!

It’s time for the biggest event of the year - and the biggest World Cup ever! With more than 100 matches and 39 days of non-stop football, it is the longest - and most lucrative - tournament in history. Generating a massive increase in sales for retailers all over the United Kingdom. Is your cash handling up to par?

Big events. Big sales.

Big global events equal big sales, and this year’s tournament is already breaking records. Over 26.4 million people in the United Kingdom are estimated to make at least one World Cup-related purchase. Resulting in an estimated turnover of £2.9 billion amongst retailers. That’s an uplift of 81% compared to the previous World Cup in 2022.

The majority of that turnover (£1.95 billion) will be covered by the food and drink industry. Making supermarkets, convenience stores, corner shops, and pubs the big winners - with the highest expected sales growth.

That’s great news! But an increase in sales also means an increase in cash. How can you process your cash quickly while also avoiding the enlarged risk of fraud and errors?

Lock in your defence

The more cash transactions you manage, the higher the chance that you will encounter counterfeits. That’s why fraudsters thrive on busy periods and high-traffic shops. When your staff is overwhelmed trying to manage long queues and rush to help every customer, they pay less attention to the cash they receive. Making it more plausible for counterfeits to end up in your cash drawers.

Accepting counterfeits hurts your business in more ways than one. Not only do you lose revenue, you also risk your reputation and the trust of your customers. Our automatic counterfeit detectors help you build a strong defence against all these risks. They check your banknotes - with 100% accuracy - in less than half a second. Providing you with complete certainty in the blink of an eye. So, your already busy team does not lose any valuable time. A win-win!

Aim for efficiency

The game isn’t over until the final whistle blows. The same goes for your business. The workday isn’t done until every single cash item is counted and processed.

The main challenge? Counting money by hand takes time and focus. Two things that are spares on extra busy days. When you and your team are rushing to close, mistakes are easily made. Mistakes that need to be corrected and therefore cost extra time, focus, and effort.

Our advanced money counting machines offer the solution. They count your cash superfast and with extreme precision. Our money counting scales count your entire cash drawer in less than two minutes - that’s seven times faster than counting it by hand. Need to count large stacks of cash? Our banknote counters offer high-volume counting and detailed counterfeit detection, while our coin counters count and sort all your coins in no-time. No matter what your cash handling needs are, Safescan has the product that best suits your business.
