Counterfeit detection at the slot
Every note is scanned on insertion across multiple sensors. Suspect bills are rejected back to the cashier immediately — not discovered in a vault count three days later.
Smart safes
Smart Safes That Pay for Themselves.
Bill validators that detect counterfeits the instant a note is inserted, deposit recognition the moment it drops, and provisional credit the same day — so the safe stops being a box in the back and starts being a bank branch on your floor.
Capabilities
Six things the safe does so your team doesn't.
Same-day provisional credit
Validated deposits transmit to your bank the day they're made. Cash sitting in the safe on your floor already counts as working capital.
Real-time deposit visibility
Check any safe, any store, from a phone or a laptop. Fill levels, deposits by user, and door events update to the minute.
Automatic end-of-shift reporting
Shift totals close themselves and match against POS. Over/short lands in your inbox attributed to a store, a shift, and a person.
Cash-in-transit insurance
Coverage attaches the moment a bill is validated inside the safe — through the pull, the route, and the vault count.
Fits under a counter
Standard units slide into existing millwork and anchor in place. No construction, no permits, no closing the store.
The cost math
Where the money actually goes.
The safe isn't the expense — manual cash handling is. Here's the same store, both ways.
Traditional handling
With DoughVault
Labor spent counting
Traditional:6–10 manager hours per week, per store
Under 2 minutes per shift close
Deposit trips
Traditional:Daily bank runs by a manager, off the clock or on it
None — cash never leaves the store by hand
Shrinkage
Traditional:Untraceable drawer losses found at month end
Attributed to shift and user, same day
Armored pickups
Traditional:Fixed schedule, typically 3x weekly
Fill-driven, typically 1x weekly
Bank fees
Traditional:Per-deposit and coin/currency handling fees
Consolidated, negotiated on real volume
Credit timing
Traditional:1–3 business days after pickup
Same-day provisional credit
Most locations land between $6,000 and $15,000 in annual savings — before counting the shrinkage they stop absorbing.

Questions
Answers before you ask.
A standard single-safe install runs about two hours on site, scheduled between shifts so the store never closes. Multi-unit rollouts run in waves with a named coordinator per region — survey, delivery, anchoring, bank enrollment, and staff training are all handled by one project team.
Validated deposits report to your bank the same business day they're made, and post as provisional credit under your existing depository agreement. Funds settle on the bank's normal cycle after the armored pull, but the balance is available to you before the carrier ever arrives.
Fill levels are monitored continuously. As a cassette approaches capacity the dashboard alerts your team and DoughVault triggers an off-cycle pickup automatically — you don't call anyone. Locations with recurring peaks are moved to a larger cassette or a second unit at no change in service rate.
Yes. Cash-in-transit coverage attaches at the moment of validation inside the safe and stays in force through the pull, the armored route, and the vault count. Coverage limits are set per location during onboarding based on your peak holdings.
Programs are typically 36 months on a flat per-location monthly rate covering hardware, software, service, and carrier stops on one invoice. There's no separate capital purchase, and multi-entity franchise groups can bill by entity while reporting on a single rollup.
