Beat the Summer Retail Chaos: Automate Cash Handling, Cut Shrink, and Stay in Control

Picture this: It's the middle of summer. Foot traffic is at its highest, but your store managers are taking time off. Temporary staff are filling in, and every deposit starts to feel like a liability. Delayed armored pickups slow down your credit cycle. A few small reconciliation errors start snowballing. Suddenly, what should be a profitable season feels more like a balancing act.

We’ve seen this story too many times. That’s exactly why Paythings was built, to help you stay ahead of these moments.

We’re not just offering hardware. We deliver a real-time, cloud-based platform that lets retailers take full control of their cash operations, no matter how chaotic the season gets.

Address Key Risks with Alerts and Automation

Retail teams care most about two things when summer hits:

1. Alerts that act before risks escalate

   Paythings sends push and email notifications instantly when issues occur: missed deposits, threshold breaches, or reconciliation mismatches. Store teams or central managers can act immediately, not after the fact.

   
   

2. Automated workflows for consistency

   Your HQ or regional team can configure workflows based on exceptions: change order triggers, escalation emails, compliance checklists -- all automated so detailed follow-ups happen without manual coordination.

These are the features retailers need when staffing is tight and errors cost extra.

Protect Profits by Preventing Shrink

We know shrinkage tends to spike during the summer. Extra foot traffic, less experienced staff, and looser oversight create the perfect storm. That’s why Paythings was built to be more than just a tracker. It's a safeguard.

Here’s how we help reduce loss:

• Cash is secured instantly in UL-rated smart safes

• Every deposit is logged with a digital audit trail

• You receive real-time alerts when something looks off

• Fewer handoffs reduce the opportunity for error or theft

Our clients have seen the difference. One national retailer reduced weekly bank trips by 80%. Another saw a 30% drop in shrink across 40+ stores, all by improving cash visibility and accountability.

Keep Your Cashflow Moving Across All Stores

Running multiple locations? We make it easy to stay on top of your entire network. With Paythings, you don’t need to call each store to check balances or manually gather reports at the end of the day.

Everything is available from your central dashboard.

You’ll have:

• Instant deposit tracking across all store locations

• Nightly next day deposit that keeps cash moving

• Trigger-based workflows for change orders and reconciliation

• Seamless API integrations to your existing systems

A finance leader from one of our clients told us, “We saw ROI in the first holiday week. We had full visibility without chasing reports or second-guessing numbers.”
