The big cash-logistics systems are built and priced for the national carriers, and most of what an independent pays for goes unused. We build what independent operators need, from retail collections, change orders and consumables to ATM servicing and smart-safe programs, on the phones your crews already carry.
Running today on the platforms TNC built.
Why We're Here
The big cash-logistics systems were designed around the national carriers.
They are built for fleets of hundreds of trucks and an IT department to run them, so an independent ends up with a system sized for someone else, paying for features it never uses and waiting months to go live. TNC Software is here to change that. We build the part an independent runs on, on the phones your crews already carry and beside the system you already have, live in weeks rather than months. Every system keeps its data, so AI can put it to work for you.
We work the way reusable rockets brought down the cost of reaching space: question every step, reuse what already works, build with fewer parts, fewer people and less process, and test fast, learning as much from what fails as from what works.
Our systems already run in one of the most challenging and demanding markets in the world for armored car and cash logistics, where retailers have banked through smart safes with same-day settlement for years and our systems scan every bag at every handover. The US side, from the Fed's E-Manifest to GS1 Cash Visibility, we are learning from the operators who run it.
We want to build this with US independents, not just sell it to them. Pricing runs per module and per route or depot, so a small fleet pays a small bill, and we are open to working out a model with the industry that works for both sides.
The Fed's E-Manifest
The Federal Reserve's E-Manifest replaces the paper cash manifest at Fed docks.
It is voluntary today. The Fed is urging carriers to get ready now and has said E-Manifest will be needed to do business with the Fed in the long term. Eight of the largest US banks, Loomis, GardaWorld and IACOA itself have already committed to GS1 US Cash Visibility, the standard behind it.
That pressure runs downhill to the independents, and most of them have no IT department to build it. The Fed's own guidance says a fintech can supply the software a carrier needs. That is what we are here to do: get independents ready early, on their own timeline, beside the systems they already run.
Talk To Us About E-ManifestWe already run the same handover digitally at SBV, South Africa's equivalent of FedCash: every bag scanned against what was expected, both sides signing on the phone, and a proof of delivery for every handover.
What We Offer
Modules that work on their own or together. Start with the one that costs you most today, and add the rest when they earn their place.
Every commercial deposit picked up from a smart safe or drop safe is scanned at the stop, signed for and GPS-stamped, then tracked from the safe to the cash vault. AI reads photographed collection slips and flags the ones that do not add up.
Change orders taken by denomination, from straps to rolled coin, prepped and checked under dual control in the vault, sealed, and tracked on the route to the store. Every order is accounted for from the vault to the register.
Deposit bags, seals and other supplies ordered per site, prepped and checked, loaded onto the route, and signed for on delivery with a GPS stamp and a receipt PDF. Each item is marked included in the contract or chargeable, so nothing goes out unbilled.
Run the whole program as the manufacturer's channel partner: safes supplied and serviced, deposits traced package by package from the safe to the vault, and a two-way sync with the safe maker's software. Our platforms run at more than 7,900 smart-safe sites today.
Every sealed bag scanned off the truck and into the vault, live on every screen in under a second. A bag left on board is caught at offload, not hours later when the paperwork fails to balance.
Every bag scanned at the handover against what was expected there, both sides signing on the phone, and a proof-of-delivery PDF for every delivery. It is the receive-and-reconcile step E-Manifest and Cash Visibility build on, with no new hardware.
Missed and no-load services with their reasons, daily route exports, vehicle movement, and a portal your ATM owners sign in to themselves. Your history is kept for good, even when the source system deletes its own.
Daily routes that build themselves around truck capacity, time windows, stop order and crew rules, with diversions handled when a window closes. Your dispatcher starts the day with a plan the crews can run.
Connects to the systems you already run, from smart-safe software to your operations system, so nobody keys the same deposit twice and nothing has to be replaced to get started.
Every scan, collection, delivery, alarm and route these systems handle is kept, and AI is put to work on it. It audits for anomalies and surfaces trends at individual sites, which helps diagnose faults, head off theft, predict failures before they happen and show where a site's cashiers need training, and it reads photographed slips so nobody keys them in.
An operator that keeps its data and puts it to work gets ahead and stays ahead. One that doesn't drifts backwards, from independent to smaller independent to micro independent, and then out of the market.
Your Process, Not Ours
No two operators run the same day. The workflows, alerts and reports are set up around how you work, and they change as you change, without waiting on a software release.
Status flows that match your floor, from order to prep, a dual-control check, loading, in transit and delivered. Every step records who did it and when.
Critical alarms, missed services and exceptions are flagged as they come in and routed to the people who need to act, then escalated when they need to go higher, with AI watching for the anomalies a person would miss.
Collection slips, delivery receipts, close-out reports and daily exports as PDFs, sent to the right people automatically, with dashboards and a big-screen view for your support or control room.
Routes, reasons, recipients, rules and modules are settings, so a new depot, customer or partner is added as data, not as a software project.
Results
Every module on this page runs a real cash operation today. Clients are named only where they have cleared it, and every picture here is an illustration, never a client's data.
Smart safes and ATMs · Cash Automation · Live
Cash Automation runs end-to-end cash management: it supplies and services smart safes as a channel partner for the manufacturer, and its crews service more than 3,200 sites, from smart safes and drop safes to more than 1,400 ATMs, across more than 60 routes. Every collection, change order and consumable delivery has to be traced and reconciled, with the safe maker's own software kept in step.
One platform runs it end to end: retail collections scanned and signed for at the stop, change orders prepped under dual control, consumables delivered and signed for, package-level track and trace from collection to the vault, a two-way sync with the smart-safe software, and the reporting on top. It holds 100% reconciliation. For a US independent, this is the software side of running your own smart-safe program, with provisional credit from your bank.
Depot handover · Sub-second sync · Live
When a crew returned to base, nobody could say for certain what had come off the truck. Two people counted the same sealed bags on two devices with no shared view, and a bag left on board surfaced hours later, when the paperwork failed.
The crew and the vault scan the same bags into one live tally, on any phone, in under a second. A scan made with no signal is held and sent the moment it returns, and both sides close the route by signing with their PIN. It runs beside the operator's existing field app, which stays the system of record.
Central cash handover · SBV · Live
Every sealed bag handed over to SBV, South Africa's equivalent of FedCash, needs a manifest both sides agree on and a signed proof of delivery the carrier can produce later.
The crew scans every seal at the handover, and only the bags expected at that branch are accepted. The receiver and the crew both sign on the phone, and every delivery produces its own proof-of-delivery PDF. The Fed's E-Manifest runs the same handover at the Fed dock: a What-to-Expect file sent ahead, each bag's SSCC scanned against it, and an e-receipt back.
Alarm monitoring · 7,900+ smart safes · Live
A smart-safe manufacturer's support and maintenance division looks after its whole estate in the field. Theft and other critical alarms, note jams, door and vibration sensor events, communication drops and financial events arrive from thousands of safes, and each one has to reach the right person fast.
A monitoring platform that manages every alarm and IoT sensor event, sorts it into critical, financial or technical, and puts it in front of the support team to triage, escalate, resolve and report. From the same system they schedule maintenance, reset safes, and deploy software settings and firmware upgrades, and a big-screen view in the support center shows every category of alarm, resolution and action at a glance. AI audits the event history for anomalies and surfaces trends at individual sites, which helps diagnose faults, head off theft, predict failures before they happen and show where a site's cashiers need training.
ATM servicing · NCR Atleos ATMs · Live
A carrier servicing NCR Atleos ATMs ran on two hosted dashboards, took route changes by email, and depended on a source system that deletes its own history after 30 days.
A warehouse that keeps every day of history, refreshed every ten minutes, with categorized reasons for missed and no-load services, daily route exports and vehicle movement. NCR Atleos staff sign in with a one-time passcode and request re-routes in the portal instead of by email, and a second customer is a setting, not a rebuild.
Route planning · Autonomous daily runs · Live
A cash-in-transit operator needed a schedule it could run every day. A route optimizer returns an ordered list of stops, and a real day has crews with set roles, trucks with capacity limits, sites with hard time windows and stops that must happen in order.
The plan builds itself each day: routes, crews and vehicles allocated under the rules that cannot be broken, with diversions handled automatically when a window closes or a day goes wrong. Run it twice on the same day's data and it gives the same answer, so it can be scheduled and left alone.
Under the hood is modern cloud infrastructure: real-time sync at the edge, warehouses that keep every record, and web apps that run on any recent phone, with no new devices to buy.
Who It's For
Route crews, depot handovers and vault check-in for the privately owned carriers competing with the nationals, sized for a small fleet.
Every bag received at the vault scanned against what was dispatched, with the exceptions on screen while the crew is still in the building.
ATM loads and first line maintenance (FLM), missed and no-load reasons, and reporting your ATM ISOs and banks can sign in and see for themselves.
Supply and service smart safes as a channel partner for the manufacturer and run the whole retail program yourself, from collections to change orders and consumables, instead of handing the customer to a national carrier.
The handovers we run today scan every bag against what was expected, and both sides sign on the phone. E-Manifest and GS1 Cash Visibility ask for the same, with a GLN for each branch, vault and dock and an SSCC on every cash bag.
Give the customers behind your routes a sign-in of their own: their machines, their service history and their requests, and nothing of anyone else's.
Why TNC
Get In Touch
Start with the problem, not a spec. The first conversation is about how your routes, your vault and your ATMs run today, where they break, and what it would be worth to fix, before anybody says a word about technology.
From there we agree a first phase with a working system at the end of it, at a price that works for both sides. No hard sell, no jargon, and no six-month discovery. If we're not the right fit, we'll say so.
