🗣️ Customer Testimonial
"Before we installed the Avansa Double Drawer, our tellers felt exposed during cash transfers, and larger item exchanges were awkward. We even had issues with our old drawer sticking, causing delays. Since upgrading to the Avansa unit, our staff feel much safer. The dual drawers mean we can handle both cash and larger goods efficiently, and it's so smooth – no more jamming! It’s a solid, reliable piece of kit that has genuinely improved our daily operations." - Jason, Retail Manager, Johannesburg
🎯 Ideal Applications
The Avansa Bulk Cash & Goods Transfer Double Drawer is perfectly suited for a range of demanding business environments across Southern Africa where secure and efficient transfer of valuables is paramount:
- Banking Institutions & Credit Unions: For secure cash and document exchange at teller stations and drive-thru services, reducing exposure to risk during transactions in busy urban centres like Sandton or rural branches in Zambia.
- Retail Outlets & Supermarkets: Essential for secure cash deposits from tills and transfer of high-value goods like electronics or jewellery between staff and customers, especially in high-traffic shopping centres in Cape Town or bustling markets in Harare.
- Forecourt Services & Petrol Stations: Provides a vital secure interface for cash payments and product transfers, offering staff protection against armed banditry, a critical concern across Southern African forecourts.
- Logistics & Distribution Centres: Ideal for secure transfer of valuable manifests, keys, small parcels, or high-value components between internal departments or to external couriers.
- Security Operations & Cash Offices: Forms a crucial part of a layered security system for cash-in-transit points, enabling secure handovers of bulk currency or sensitive items.
💡 How It Works
The Avansa Bulk Cash & Goods Transfer Double Drawer operates with straightforward, secure functionality. To initiate a transfer, simply place the cash or goods into the appropriate drawer. The top drawer, designed for cash, slides out towards the operator and can be securely locked in three positions to prevent access during the transfer cycle. Once loaded, the drawer is pushed through the secure barrier. On the other side, the recipient can then access the contents. The bottom drawer, intended for larger goods, similarly moves smoothly between the two sides, facilitated by a movable base tray that assists in positioning and retrieval of items. Its robust construction and smooth mechanism ensure that the drawer glides effortlessly, preventing jamming, a common problem with inferior units. This two-way transfer system maintains a secure barrier at all times, drastically reducing the risk of armed robbery and ensuring a safe transaction environment for both staff and customers.
💰 Value Benefits
- Enhanced Security & Risk Mitigation: Provides a robust, anti-bandit barrier against armed attacks, significantly reducing the risk of loss from forecourt robberies and improving staff safety. This can lead to lower insurance premiums and excesses, delivering tangible ROI.
- Operational Efficiency & Speed: The smooth, jam-free dual-drawer mechanism allows for rapid and reliable transfer of both cash and goods, eliminating frustrating delays and improving transaction throughput. This directly impacts customer satisfaction and staff productivity.
- Compliance & Insurability: Designed with security best practices in mind, facilitating compliance with insurer requirements for secure cash handling equipment, which is critical for full policy coverage in Southern Africa.
- Durability & Low Maintenance: Constructed from high-quality mild steel and stainless steel with an anodised aluminium frame, ensuring long-term reliability and resistance to wear, reducing ongoing maintenance costs and downtime.
- Versatility for Dual Operations: Uniquely caters to businesses needing to transfer both cash and bulk goods, streamlining operations and negating the need for separate, less efficient systems.
