Wincor Nixdorf: New technology automatically means better security and lower cash handling costs
New solution portfolio for cash cycle management
Cash continues to be the number one payment medium. “Nine of ten payment transactions worldwide are made with cash. Our estimates show that this creates more than 300 billion dollars in costs, primarily for banks and retail businesses,” explains Eckard Heidloff, President and CEO of Wincor Nixdorf, at the opening of Wincor World 2010. The number of euro banknotes alone is growing at the rate of nine percent yearly according to the European Central Bank. On the whole, cash handling in Europe costs approximately 50 billion euros every year. Thus Heidloff presented a solution portfolio as the kickoff to Wincor World that makes the most of the common ground in cash handling processes at retail companies and banks, and takes a completely new approach. The portfolio, which Wincor Nixdorf is marketing under the name “Cash Cycle Management Solutions”, enables manual processes to be automated, with the result that bank and store employees no longer come into contact with cash. The results: maximum security, the greatest possible transparency, better processes and cost reductions of more than twenty percent.
Heidloff emphasized that Wincor Nixdorf continues to be a reliable and stable solution partner to banks and retailers. To be sure, the Group’s sales fell by six percent and its EBITA by thirteen percent year-on-year in the first quarter of the new fiscal year 2009/2010. And Heidloff added that Wincor Nixdorf expected sales and operating income to be down somewhat for the fiscal year as a whole, but not by more than in the last fiscal year 2008/2009, when sales fell by three percent and income by thirteen percent. The company’s objective is to remain stable throughout the crisis, while preparing for when the economy recovers in strength. Read the rest of this entry »
First quarter ends with lower net sales and profit – Wincor Nixdorf sees no signs of market recovery yet – Outlook unchanged.
Wincor Nixdorf AG closed its first quarter of the current fiscal 2009/2010 with net sales and operating profit (EBITA) down 6% and 13% respectively on the same period in the preceding fiscal 2008/2009. Net sales for the Group, which specializes in IT solutions for the branch operations of banks and retailers, fell in the first three months to EUR607 million (previous year:
EUR646 million). EBITA was also lower at EUR49 million (EUR56 million). The EBITA margin fell accordingly to 8.1% (8.7%), while profit for the period declined 6% to EUR33 million (EUR35 million). Looking ahead at the rest of the fiscal year, President & CEO Eckard Heidloff pointed to the continued impact of the economic and financial crisis. “In the short term at least we expect the worldwide environment to remain challenging. Developments in the market and in our business are still difficult to predict,” he explained.
Against this background he sees the probability of fluctuations in business performance during the year and within regions. For fiscal 2009/2010 as a whole, Wincor Nixdorf anticipates a further decline in its net sales and operating profit, albeit no greater than that experienced in the last fiscal year (2008/2009: net sales – 3%, EBITA – 13%).

Wincor World 2010: Cash Cycle Management Solutions in Focus
The topic of cash cycle management will be the focus of Wincor World 2010, which will take place in Paderborn from January 26 to 28. At this event, Wincor Nixdorf invites IT decision-makers from all over the world to join in the discussion on IT solutions that enable the optimization of branch and store processes at retail banks and retail companies. The company and many of its partners will present solutions for hardware, software, service and professional services across an area of some 10,000 square meters. As in years past, a prominent feature of the event is the targeted transfer of know-how through a program of presentations.
The circulation of cash – which continues to be the leading payment medium – is the source of extensive manual work and high processing costs in addition to posing security risks. For this reason, Wincor Nixdorf is placing solutions for cash management at the heart of this year’s Wincor World. With its innovative, significantly expanded Cash Cycle Management Solutions portfolio, Wincor Nixdorf is presenting itself as an end-to-end supplier for the design of intelligent cash processes. A number of solution scenarios demonstrate how the redesign and automation of cash processes through innovative technologies can significantly increase efficiency, transparency and security. As a result, savings of more than twenty percent in the costs of cash processing can be achieved. Wincor Nixdorf’s approach rests on streamlining cash management in retail stores and banks, but beyond that it intelligently connects cash processes across sectors. The company will therefore present not just concrete solutions for cash processes in bank branches and stores, but also concepts for cross-sector cash cycle management. Read the rest of this entry »
