Corporate Safe Specialists and The Pinnacle Corporation have joined forces to take cash management processes to a new level. Pinnacle’s Palm POS™ is directly interfaced to CSS’s suite of Advanced Cash Control Systems, enabling a clerk to accept, validate and secure cash directly into a business-rated safe. Both systems are controlled through a single easy-to-use touch screen interface and run off a single computer, freeing up precious retail space and lowering overall equipment expenses.

The “new normal” is well on its way to becoming one of the catch phrases that we’re all going to get sick of. It’s in headlines everywhere, especially as pundits and consultants try to figure out ways to market their services around a phrase that has more alliteration than meaning. The essential question is this: when the recession ends, will consumers persist in the changed behavior patterns – a kind of new frugality - that an economic downturn has prompted?
