ATMIA publishes study on growth prospects in the Retail Cash Management

South Dakota, USA & London, United Kingdom - ATMIA today published a new study on growth prospects in the Retail Cash Management sector of the United States.

Entitled “From ATMs to Smart Safes and Recyclers:Retail’s Next Big Step” and authored by industry veteran.

Michael Hudson, of MF Hudson Associates, LLC, the research paper predicts strong growth ahead for cash management automation in the nation’s retail sectors.

Unlocking the economic drivers of retail automation, the author stresses the benefits to businesses of expanding automation capability with evolving technologies like recyclers and smart safes. Hudson also debunks myths about cash going away, perpetuated in the media on an almost daily basis by the anti-cash lobby. Instead, he soberly analyses the ongoing role of cash for consumers and businesses.

The study estimates that there are about one million retailers in the US using cash management, ranging from low-tech operators to semi-automated and fully-automated operators.

“I’d like to congratulate Mike Hudson on identifying and articulating this substantial opportunity for growth in cash management automation,” Mike Lee, CEO of ATMIA, commented. “This trend can save on running costs, increase efficiencies and enable staff to attend to customer needs instead of counting cash and conducting other manual jobs.”
