Talaris Unveils Comprehensive Cash Automation Software Solution, CashInsight Assure

LISLE, Ill., May 3 /PRNewswire/ -- Talaris, the leading provider of cash automation equipment to financial institutions and retailers worldwide, today unveiled CashInsight™ Assure, a teller software solution that powers cash-automation devices. CashInsight™ Assure is the initial product in the CashInsight software series designed to help financial institutions run their branches and cash-automation hardware more efficiently and effectively.

CashInsight™ Assure provides intuitive control over cash transactions and performs branch balancing, accounting and auditing functions traditionally performed manually by tellers and other branch staff. With many cutting-edge characteristics, CashInsight represents a significant advance in automated cash control. The solution offers features that allow for intra-day balancing without client services interruption; controls that provide tellers with access to any cash automation device in a given branch; radically simplified vault-buy and vault-sell processes; and networking that offers a "total branch view" of cash devices, cash flows and cash inventories.

"Talaris has a long history of creating leading solutions that positively impact financial institutions and their customers," says Bob Allexon, director of product marketing for Talaris North America. "We have used our specialized understanding of best practices in the field to create CashInsight™ Assure that, along with the entire CashInsight solution suite, will maximize clients' return on investment in cash automation solutions. This is a truly exciting new opportunity for banks and credit unions."

Talaris' CashInsight™ Assure offers many noteworthy benefits beyond those provided by other cash automation software solutions. Among other unique features is a modern graphical user interface (GUI) that reduces support requirements for a branch and the amount of teller training typically required to effectively use cash automation machines. This makes teller cash automation machines easier to use, thereby maximizing branch efficiency and, almost immediately upon installation, freeing up tellers to concentrate on relationship-building and cross-selling activities, rather than cash management.

CashInsight™ Assure also offers information-technology advantages, such as operating system-independence and built-in support for industry standard technologies. Additionally, rapid integration of CashInsight™ Assure into teller systems is ensured through file-based information transfer and network socket support.

CashInsight™ Assure supports all of Talaris' industry-leading teller cash dispensers and recyclers, including the Benchmark™ 7 Series cash dispenser and Vertera Series cash recyclers, as well as Java extensions for Financial Services (J/XFS)-compliant teller cash automation devices developed by other manufacturers.

Fidelity Deposit and Discount Bank in northeastern Pennsylvania participated in the product's pilot program and cited CashInsight Assure's ease of implementation and immediate impact on branch operations as key advantages of the solution.  

"The minimal time between when we implemented CashInsight Assure and when our staff's productivity increased was a huge benefit for our bank," said Richard Healey, retail services manager at Fidelity Deposit and Discount Bank. "With continuous visibility to cash levels and efficient start and end-of-day processing for tellers, CashInsight Assure provides Fidelity with invaluable business and operational benefits."
