About us
Why has ICS been established?
The Company has been established to provide a consistent means of assessing note circulation inventories and supplement the customers own processing IT capabilities. In addition to this the Company aims to ensure that decisions on note circulation, new note issues and note procurement are taken with a detailed knowledge based on total visibility rather than limited sampling or incomplete data. Furthermore with the current trend to outsourcing many services and processes ICS is able to deliver an effective tool which enables outsourcing organisations to retain the information flows they require whilst also offering the outsource provider a means of delivering value added information and solutions.
Who is behind ICS?
ICS has been set up by Richard Haycock and Francisco Lopez who between them have extensive experience in the delivery of cash handling solutions to major international customers in:
- Central Banks
- Commercial Banks
- Cash In Transit Companies
- Security Logistics Companies
- Retail Organisations
The Company is headquartered in the UK and operates independently of the other vendors in the industry. ICS operates a network of support partners who have responsibility for the installation, support and maintenance of installations at a local level.
What ICS can do for customers and how:
ICS is able to deliver a range of hardware, software and IT solutions which will allow customers to access information from note processing equipment deployed in their markets.
The ICS solutions can be deployed into all note processing and cash handling equipment types, including but not limited to:
- Banknote sorting equipment
- Banknote counting equipment
- Cash dispensing equipment and teller based dispensers
- Note recirculation equipment
- Self-service banking products
This means that organisations can constantly evaluate trends in note circulation and address any issues relating to quality, distribution or operational efficiency in a timely manner. ICS is able to achieve this across the entire equipment estate independent of the equipment vendor and thus provides a comprehensive and impartial view of the “real world” in which currency is circulating.
The information is provided via secure internet links and can be made available to individual customers or to a number of organisations on a confidential basis facilitating a benchmarking of operations nationally or internationally.
