UK based cash handling provider, Innovative Technology (ITL) have secured several distribution suppliers for their CashGenic hygienic cash automation solution both in the UK and throughout Europe including Germany-based PerfectMoney.

Commenting on the success of the roll-out, Thorsten Labusch, VP of Sales said, “We are delighted with the fast pace of the CashGenic partner acquisition programme. It was first launched in May 2020 during the COVID pandemic to enable customers to pay with cash hygienically and safely. One of our partners, PerfectMoney, an innovative payment solutions provider based in South Germany are proudly building their own machines which they have rebranded ‘Vicky’. This high-performance, smart cash dispenser has space-saving dimensions so fits onto any counter making installations quick and easy.”

Christian Dieterich, CEO, PerfectMoney commented, “Last year we made the decision to expand our product portfolio to include ITL’s CashGenic kit built into our own payment machine. We are pleased with the success of the roll-out so far with several businesses reporting an uplift in cash takings after Vicky was installed. Although COVID may have initially triggered this development for hygiene reasons to reduce staff handling money, it brings many more advantages to the retailer. Securing cash payments, reducing accounting errors and cost efficiency continue to be key for the retail industry. Plus, cash remains the preferred payment of choice here in Germany, so we foresee take-up growing significantly over the coming years.”

One such customer, Rolf Otto from Harley-Davidson, based in Viersen commented on his motivations for buying the PerfectMoney Vicky cash machine, “The time we save justifies the device alone. I would definitely recommend it, especially in retail, even just for the additional security it gives.”

Thorsten concluded, “PerfectMoney are working with various retail outlets such as butchers, bakers, food trucks, farm shops, takeaways, fast-food restaurants, motorcycle shops, pharmacies, coffee shops and opticians to implement Vicky as their point-of-sale solution. Cash handling can traditionally be time-consuming, resource heavy and expensive. By automating payment processes retailers can eliminate cash register handovers and staff no longer need to count cash as the machine automatically does this, therefore saving time and generating greater efficiencies for the business. Following the success of our partnership with PerfectMoney, we are collaborating further, enhancing our relationship with them to supply a broader range of our cash handling products in the future.”

With Portside Game Assembly, Gamecity Hamburg is welcoming studio heads and directors from successful indie game studios on a conference ship and other extraordinary locations in Hamburg on June 27. Benjamin Laulan, Co-Founder of Evil Empire, (Dead Cells, The Rogue Prince of Persia) will give a keynote on the Triple-i Initiative started by the French studio. At the Triple-i Showcase 2024, over 30 “iii games” were announced in 45 minutes, and 150,000 views were achieved on YouTube alone. Further speaker on board is Philomena Schwab, Founder of Stray Fawn Studio (Dungeon Clawler, The Wandering Village).

Portside Game Assembly celebrates its premiere as B2B-conference for international indie game leaders on June 27. There will be no direct ticket sales for the conference; instead, a curated list of participants will ensure that only studio heads and decision makers attend the conference on board a ship sailing through the port of Hamburg.

At the same time, the Networking Brunch and the Games Industry Party are open as networking events for interested contacts from the games industry to bring platform holders, publishers, and game companies into contact with the international conference participants. Studio leads from Denmark, Sweden, Switzerland, the UK, France, Spain, Canada, the USA, and Germany are already on board for the conference.

Portside Game Assembly is set to be a platform for decision makers and studio leads to exchange ideas, learn from each other, and face the challenges of the games industry through collaboration.

As the first announced talk of the conference, Benjamin Laulan (Co-Founder of Evil Empire) will present a keynote on the Triple-i Initiative and how to create your own announcement space and talk directly to your audience when you can’t really relate to other existing showcases. In addition, Philomena Schwab (Founder of Stray Fawn Studio & Publishing) will give a short talk about ways for game idea validation.

The program of the Portside Game Assembly will consist of keynotes, short talks, and roundtables.
