End-of-shift in one minute
Retail and hospitality still close cash by hand: two people, five to ten minutes, several daily safes, and notes that stay in reach until the CIT bag leaves. OneCash Prime puts authentication, counting, storage and settlement in one cabinet so one cashier finishes the shift in about a minute.
- Settlement: about 1 minute instead of 5–10
- Staff at close: 1 instead of 2
- Daily bags: one large safebag instead of many
- Authentication: automatic, not by eye
- Cash: in the certified safe, not on the desk
Accessible cash goes down because notes are skimmed through the day and locked at once. Dual-control counting at the till stops. The CIT run becomes one sealed bag instead of many loose envelopes. Credit can follow the same day when the settlement is audit-proof.
Why Prime as your smart safe
The footprint is about half a square metre, yet the unit covers inspection, counting, storage, settlement, preparation for transport and a fallback when the power drops. Continuous speed is 600 notes per minute, enough to skim during opening hours and to clear several tills at once at close.
New staff need one briefing. After that the 8-inch screen runs a video-guided deposit, which matters in seasonal sites and with changing cashiers. Openings are logged. The safe does not open until the bag is sealed. CIT work and technical service stay apart. A jam is either counted inside the safe or left uncounted and reachable outside it.
The same validator is used beyond the shop floor: the sensors are tested yearly at the ECB and the technology is also used by central banks. Updates cover new counterfeits.
- Hopper 500 notes, reject pocket 50
- Up to 4,000 notes in about 7 minutes at 600 notes/min
- Interface LAN; barcode and QR scanner; card reader; encrypted communication
- Safe to EN 1143-1, classes CEN L / II / IV on request
- The CEN class sets the insured value; an alarm or a secured room can raise it. The insurer decides.
Prime also works as a high-end counter: large customer deposits, payout checks, or a doubtful note, without sending the cashier to another room.
Prime S4000 — stacked safebag
S4000 packs up to 4,000 notes in order, then closes the bag with a double heat seal. The CIT company receives a stack, not a loose pile, so the cash centre counts the bag once.
- Neat bundles at every pickup
- One count at the cash centre, no manual aligning
- One-way bag, no key ring for the bag itself
- No empty bags to bring back
- Fits common CIT transport cassettes
Prime 10K — freefall fabric bag
10K is the high-capacity cabinet: notes fall into a reusable fabric bag with an automatic safety catch. Capacity is up to 10,000 notes when the site would rather empty less often than hand the CIT a pre-stacked bundle.
- Up to 10,000 notes per bag
- Reusable fabric bag
- Same validator, hopper, reject pocket and screen as S4000
- Choose 10K when volume beats packing style
With coins / Sidecar
Prime works alone when you only deposit banknotes. Add a CashIn unit beside it when coins should go in the same close: one settlement, to the cent, without a second queue at the safe. Sidecar and MiniCar have no screen of their own. Prime can be the master for Sidecar, MiniCar or R100, or another host can be.
Prime with CashIn Sidecar
CashIn Sidecar is the high-volume coin pair for Prime.
The cabinet is 470 mm wide. Hopper 1,200 coins (euro mix), up to 1,000 coins/min, EU 1210/2010 authentication, cleaning path, noise insulation, overfill protection and an illuminated reject pocket. Coin store: four receptacles up to 20 kg each, or a self-locking container up to 60 kg.
Authorised staff can take coins back out as change. Surplus or deficit coins are the only amounts that still need a CIT trip or a refill. The Sidecar is the deposit, not a pocket sorter.

Prime with CashIn MiniCar
- CashIn MiniCar is the compact coin pair for Prime. Same job as Sidecar, smaller back offices.
- The cabinet is 370 mm wide. Hopper 750 coins, same authentication and reject features as Sidecar, two receptacles up to 20 kg each.
- Authorised staff can take coins back out as change. Sorting, if you want it, stays on a separate sorter at a quiet time of day.

Connecting Prime
Every Prime connects over LAN. That is enough when the site only needs a booking record in a system you already run.
Where several machines, branches or a CIT fleet must share users, reports and blocking, SOUTH offers CashMatch as a software layer on top of the hardware, with browser access, roles for shop, head office and technician, optional SEPA / Cash-IDE booking.
Third-party tills and cash-management systems can take an XML feed. Direct hardware, CashMatch, or a mix: we set the combination with you.
Prime fits the smart safe programmes of CIT companies and banks: deposit data can go to their systems so credit can follow early.
Some options exclude others. Ask for the combination that matches bag type, CEN class, coin hopper and who may open the safe.
