Cash Recycling: Cincinnati Zoo
Cincinnati Zoo embraces cash automation to reduce costs, streamline cash processes and heighten security.

Executive Summary

The Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Gardens located in Cincinnati OH, the second oldest and one of the most respected organizations in the U.S. Zoological industry, made a recent decision to automate their cash processes by introducing cash recycling technology to their cash handling operations. After analyzing their prior cash situation, the Zoo determined that cash handling was costing them more than it should, was labor intensive and utilized excess staffing for repetitive tasks, additionally their current process had poor accountability, and lacked real time data reporting on their cash position.

Within a few months after the installation of the ArcaTech Systems Retail Cash Solution, the Zoo has been able to slash operating costs, reduce staffing for cash operations, operate with less on-hand cash, reduce the number of armored deliveries, is now able to provide accurate timely cash reports, automatically generate start tills and accept till deposits, provide accurate end-of-day balancing, reduce shortages, and overall has raised the attitudes and expectations of all those associated with cash movement at their park.
