Cash Connect invests in comprehensive XLink solution

Cash Connect Management Solutions (Cash Connect), will be using XLink Twincom modems for secure wireless communication between its SMARTsafe system and the company's back-end operations.

“There was an immediate improvement in our communications uptime from the moment XLink Communications provided us with Twincom modems,” explains Richard Phillips, MD of Cash Connect. He goes on to highlight the importance of reliable communications, with Cash Connect processing close to R400 million per month across the retail, hospitality, FMCG and fuel industry.

The SMARTsafe, which forms part of the end-to-end cash management solution, removes the high risk associated with cash-handling from retailers, as the company assumes responsibility from the moment the retailer deposits money into a SMARTsafe by crediting the retailers account.

XLink, a leader in GPRS-based data communication solutions in South Africa, is providing Cash Connect with a comprehensive solution, from the installation of the Twincom modems in the SMARTsafes nationwide, preventative maintenance and a technical call centre to despatch technicians for repairs on behalf of Cash Connect.

“XLink has seen exceptional growth over the past years that have enabled the company to build a national footprint and diversify our services to offer a complete solution,” explains Anton Leal, MD of XLink Communications.

Phillips confirmed that XLink Communications' commitment to ensure compatibility has forged a new partnership that will play a crucial role, with CashConnect expecting to process close to R800 million monthly by the end of the year.
