Profile:
Société Générale.
Brink’s Customer Since 1961
Société Générale is one of the largest financial services groups in the euro zone. The Group’s three key businesses are: Retail Banking & Financial Services, Global Investment Management & Services and Corporate & Investment Banking.

“We feel it is in our best interests, and the best interests of our customers, to use Brink’s. Brink’s is a true business partner that we can depend on to continuously develop technology and services that enhance safety and improve efficiency.”
Alain Blanchot, Logistics Director
Customer Need:
Société Générale currently outsources more than 50% of its cash management activities to Brink’s, including Cash-in-Transit, money processing and ATM (automated teller machine) services. The bank challenged Brink’s to help maintain customer access to ready cash while instituting a just-in-time system to reduce cash inventory throughout its ATM network. The goal was to minimize the amount of cash stored in ATMs without affecting customer service.
Brink’s Solution:
Brink’s installed its cash inventory optimization software, which enables Société Générale to remotely monitor and manage cash levels at each ATM. With less cash on site, the bank’s ATMs are less likely to become crime targets. In addition, with electronic access to cash withdrawal data, the bank can accurately predict daily and weekly cash needs at each ATM location. Service calls, previously required to manually check and replenish each ATM, have dropped dramatically. Thanks to Brink’s, Société Générale’s customers and assets are safer, and the bank is more efficient.
