Cash is a physical item, which means that the way it moves from one place to another has to be managed just as you would manage any other object of value
That means we need to think about managing the movement and use of cash in similar ways to how we manage the movement of retail merchandise. In other words, there is a supply chain for cash, as well: we call it the Retail Cash Chain.
No market sector has greater expertise in supply chain management than retail. Getting a firm grip on the management of supply chains, backed by a relentless drive for continuous improvement, has transformed the way that major retailers operate.
To gain maximum benefit from the use of cash, retailers must be able to move cash from the customer’s pocket to their own bank account and therefore to profit as quickly, efficiently and securely as possible.
