Cashmaster International, the innovative manufacturers and distributors of cash counting machines, have officially launched their new website. The multilingual site has been redesigned and rebranded in collaboration with web developers Become Interactive of Glasgow, to provide both current and prospective customers with more in-depth information about their innovative products and services.
Kenneth Macalister Hall, Cashmaster’s Corporate Communications Manager describes the new site as being critical to the company’s development “it’s the new face of Cashmaster. Its launch has allowed us to take full advantage of our recent corporate rebranding, but the most important improvement is the depth of information now available online. Anyone can now watch a demo, download a spec, a case study or manual – meaning that more people will be able to appreciate just how our machines can help businesses save time and money”.
In addition to demo and training videos, Cashmaster have also added an in-depth case study section, allowing prospective customers to exactly understand how, and in what context, other businesses use their machines.
Kenneth went on to say “we want to make it easy for our customers to view our products and accessories, to understand their applications and why other companies (of all sizes) choose to use them. We’ve also tried to make the site more user friendly and interactive, with customers now able to request a free trial via a simple online request form”.
The website contains many new features such as latest company news, improved usability and navigation, alternative text sizing options and is fully compliant with the latest Disability Discrimination Act laws.
Established in 1977, our organisation has been involved in electronic cash counting systems since 1987. Cashmaster specialises in providing cash intensive businesses with a means of counting and reconciling more efficiently. Sectors such as banking, retail and leisure each benefit from using Cashmaster products to reduce time spent counting cash, whilst taking advantage of advanced reconciliation, which in turn results in loss prevention.

4/1/07 - Sega presenting the Industries largest ever Amusement Machine!
Sega Amusements Europe Ltd. will be taking the largest stand space ever seen outside of Japan for the company at the forth coming ATEI in a few weeks – 102% larger than last years in fact. The proud claim comes as part of Sega taking the lead in moving upstairs at the Earl’s Court venue and adopting the largest stand in the hall.
“The need for more stand space is more apparent than ever this year with the quantity and variety of equipment we are showing, aside from the fact that we will be showing the largest amusement machine the industry has ever seen in the form of Out Run 2 Special Attraction”, commented Justin Burke of Sega.
The growing company will be spread over 500sq metres and offer visitors a range that will include driving, shooting, novelty, sport, centrepieces and attractions in a variety of cabinet formats that put Sega head and shoulders above the competition. Along with the first outing for the company’s new spares division, Sega Total Solutions, who as of February 2007 will be supplying Sega spares direct to the market place.
Measuring 8.25m wide the 8 player Out Run 2 Special Attraction is a hot contender to steal machine of the show before it even starts. Without being shown in Europe yet the orders are coming in thick and fast according to Sega – proving ‘size does matter!’ Featuring the moulded rear end of four Ferrari’s the game has four 62” screens, over head live leader board monitor, full motion based simulation, and the unique ‘Driver Switching System’ allowing two players to drive the same car! The product will be available as a two and four car version.
Sega has the reputation for producing some of the best gun games the industry has seen and will be showing two new ones at the show. In a new format Too Spicy turns the usual format of players fighting with each other to fighting against each other. To maximise the effect of this, the game will come as two single upright cabinets that are linked and set up back to back. Based around the dark world of gang land tribes the scene is set in the back streets, warehouses and subways of Hong Kong.
After the tremendously successful Ghost Squad of 2005 that sold in excess of 800 units, the follow up Ghost Squad Evolution promises to be another hit across Europe. The game will get is world premier at the ATEI this year and will be available for Easter.
Following the release of Let’s Go Jungle in December the game has had extremely high cash box returns. The two player fantasy jungle shooting game is housed in a ‘can’t miss’ Jeep themed theatre cabinet. Sega admits to being caught out by the success of this title and has multiplied original production quantities four fold already “It is been the winter success story as far as we are concerned” commented Justin Burke.
After the launch of Sega Kid’s games at last years ATEI the company is now rolling out more titles. Concentrating on Dinosaurking in 2006 to phenomenal results in an exclusive launch with Leisure Link and Bourne Leisure this year will see that ‘boys’ orientated game complemented with the ‘girls’ version of Love & Berry. The fashion based card collecting game is set to take pride of place at front of stand. By show time Sega will have 336 Kids’ games in the UK and 816 by March across Europe. With other licensed titles in the pipeline and an animation series in Italy and Spain the Sega Kids concept seems to have worked, proved any sceptics wrong and is certainly here to stay.
Additionally Sega will be showing the House and Dead 4 Special Attraction, the latest version of World Club Champion Football 2005 – 2006, the full range of Afterburner Climax cabinets, and the Lindbergh universal upright cabinet.
