    Overview

    The in-branch operations management system was built to digitize cash services and embed existing controls directly into system workflows. It mirrors the current operational framework while eliminating its manual weight.

    AltTill represents more than system automation, it is a structural shift from control by procedure to control by design, ensuring every branch operates faster, smarter, and with built-in compliance and an intuitive customer experience.

    The Challenge

    • Fragmented workflows spread across multiple platforms

    • Higher licence and infrastructure costs

    • Slower service delivery and increased errors

    • No effective queue management or real-time monitoring

    • Heavy paper dependency increasing cost and reducing efficiency

    Our Solution

    How we approached it

    Digitized deposits, withdrawals, transfers, and vault movements

    Built-in Maker-Checker approval flows

    Real-time audit trails and end-of-day reporting

    Automated validations replacing manual checks

    Single transaction management system replacing all fragmented tools

    Outcome

    What it delivered

    Removed CBA user licensing costs and VPN licence fees

    Reduced infrastructure expenses (LAN, network ports)

    Shorter customer wait times and faster service delivery

    Consistent, retail-like in-branch experience with digital receipts

    Automated validations, approvals, and monitoring reducing errors and fraud risk

    Single system handling all in-branch transactions with real-time visibility

    Strategic Impact

    Why it matters

    Digitized, paper-free workflows reduce per-transaction processing cost and shrink branch turnaround times

    Compliance is enforced by system design rather than after-the-fact review, lowering operational and audit risk

    Platform consolidation removes duplicate licensing and infrastructure spend across branches

    Real-time monitoring replaces end-of-day reconciliation, giving leadership continuous visibility into branch performance

    Product Development Process

    How we built it

    1. 1

      Problem Discovery

      Mapped the existing manual framework across all branch transaction types to identify friction, duplication, and control gaps

    2. 2

      Product Workshop

      Collaborative sessions with branch operations, audit, and technology teams to define scope and non-negotiables for the MVP

    3. 3

      User Research & Documentation

      Interviewed tellers, supervisors, and vault officers to understand real workflows — not just documented ones

    4. 4

      UI/UX Design

      Designed for speed and simplicity; the interface targets tellers processing high transaction volumes under time pressure

    5. 5

      Agile Development

      Iterative build cycles with regular demos and sign-offs from branch operations leads

    6. 6

      Pilot & Testing

      Deployed to pilot branches; post-pilot fixes and testing currently underway before full rollout

    7. 7

      Roadmap Planning

      Future releases scoped to include biometrics, FCY transactions, USSD integration, and a central monitoring dashboard
