Kintech, Malta’s first Cashlogy Certified Partner with nearly a decade of expertise in automated cash handling, has successfully implemented Malta’s largest single-site automated cash handling system at the new Greens Supermarket’s flagship location in the Centerparc Shopping Centre, Qormi.
The project involved the deployment of 15 Cashlogy cash recyclers by Azkoyen, with 12 units integrated directly into supermarket checkout lanes and a further three supporting Greens’ adjoining Festacci food and beverage outlets. This marks the most extensive Cashlogy deployment ever completed at a single retail location in Malta, reflecting a growing shift towards cash automation in retail environments.
Rather than relying on a single back-office cash recycler, Greens chose to equip every checkout lane with a dedicated Cashlogy unit. By automating each point-of-sale (POS), the supermarket has eliminated manual cash handling, end-of-day reconciliation and internal cash movements. Transactions are now faster, more secure and hygienic, while staff are freed to focus on customer service and operational efficiency.
“This project reflects our commitment to innovation at the store level,” said Anthony Grech, Chief Technology Officer at Greens. “By automating every checkout, we’ve improved transaction speed, strengthened cash security and enhanced the overall customer experience.”
Kevin Attard, Director at Kintech, added: “Our partnership with Greens demonstrates how Cashlogy can transform retail operations, delivering efficiency, reliability and scalability in high-traffic environments.”
Key Benefits of Checkout-Level Cash Automation
- Elimination of Manual Cash Handling
No manual counting, float preparation, or end-of-day till reconciliation, significantly reducing errors. - Improved Staff Productivity
Employees focus on customer service rather than time-consuming cash tasks. - Faster Checkouts & Better Customer Experience
Quicker transactions reduce queues and improve store flow during peak hours. - Greater Operational Efficiency
Each checkout operates independently, preventing bottlenecks and downtime. - Enhanced Cash Security
Cash remains securely stored at the checkout, minimising internal cash movement and theft risk.
Why Install Cash Automation at Every Checkout?
Installing Cashlogy cash recyclers at each checkout, instead of a single back-office machine, offers clear operational advantages:
Cashlogy at Every Checkout vs. Single Back-Office Cash Recycler
Cash Handling
- Checkout-Level Cashlogy: Fully automated at each till; no manual counting
- Back-Office Machine: Manual handling remains at checkout lanes
Checkout Speed
- Checkout-Level Cashlogy: Faster transactions at every lane
- Back-Office Machine: Speed unchanged; queues may persist
Staff Productivity
- Checkout-Level Cashlogy: No end-of-shift balancing; customer-focused staff
- Back-Office Machine: Manual reconciliation is still required
Downtime Risk
- Checkout-Level Cashlogy: Minimal, other checkouts remain operational
- Back-Office Machine: The Entire store is impacted if the machine fails
Security
- Checkout-Level Cashlogy: Cash secured at each checkout
- Back-Office Machine: Cash transport increases risk
Long-Term ROI
- Checkout-Level Cashlogy: High, labour savings and error reduction
- Back-Office Machine: Moderate, manual processes continue
Beyond these operational gains, Cashlogy, developed by Azkoyen, validates banknotes and coins, automates reconciliation and secures cash directly at the checkout. As a result, it is increasingly sought after by Maltese retailers exploring solutions such as cash recyclers, automated cash handling machines and closed cash management systems in Malta.
With hundreds of installations across supermarkets, pharmacies, convenience stores, restaurants and cafés, Kintech supports retailers in aligning Cashlogy technology with their existing POS workflows and daily operations. Whether deployed at a single checkout or across multiple tills, automated cash handling helps businesses reduce errors, improve cash security and streamline front-of-house processes without adding complexity.
The Greens Centerparc project illustrates how these benefits can be realised in a live retail environment, where speed, accuracy and control at the checkout are critical. Crucially, it shows that cash automation is not limited to large-format stores, but is equally relevant for smaller retailers seeking to modernise operations, protect cash, and enhance the customer experience.
For businesses across Malta and Gozo, from supermarkets and food and beverage outlets to pharmacies and convenience stores, automated cash handling offers a clear, practical route to improving efficiency while maintaining consistency and control at the point of sale. Kintech can help retailers of all sizes take the next step towards secure, automated cash management.
