GPT is putting cash-in-transit heist professionals out of work
GPT, a Bidvest company, has developed a unique, breakthrough system to protect and recycle cash. While pneumatic tube systems, and specifically the Sumetzberger system, are nothing new in the market, a new application of the system promises to be the nemesis of cash- in-transit heists and armed robberies in stores.
Imagine a world where you do not have to keep a big float in the store because cash can reach you ten minutes from request through a
tube system? The system that was originally developed for hospitals to transport medicines is now being used in a variety of applications. The Sumetzberger system, distributed and implemented by GPT, is a sophisticated computer-driven engine, which can be programmed to deliver to or from a specific point. The system was first implemented by Europcar to move keys, but the market soon realised the anti-crime advantages. Cash can now be transported via a tube directly to a drop safe, minimising the risk of theft.
Ryno Joubert, a business consultant for GPT, says that the Sumetzberger system fits in perfectly with the GPT business strategy. Sumetzberger is about process optimisation. Having exclusive sub- Saharan distribution rights extends the GPT strategy to all valuables and not just cash. GPT can now provide customers with a turnkey solution. The tube system fits in perfectly with their variety of products including note counters, coin sorters, counterfeit detectors and drop safes. In retail centres, cash can be transported straight from tills to cash centres, enabling cashiers to keep tills almost empty and request cash within minutes. An added value is the saving on insurance due to much lower cash levels in store. In taking
