After celebrating their 50th Anniversary back in 2022, cash handling experts Volumatic are celebrating once again this year, as their ground-breaking CountEasy money counting scales turn 20 years old!
It was back in the Spring of 2004 (the same year that saw the launch of Facebook, Gmail, and the Nintendo DS), that Volumatic first launched the CountEasy, their simple-to-use money counter, and it quickly became one of Volumatic’s best-selling devices, praised for its accuracy, small footprint and ease-of-use.
With the ability to count a till drawer in less than a minute, the CountEasy has helped businesses across the globe count notes and coins with ease, assisting them in becoming more efficient in their end-of-day cash processing and allowing staff to spend more time on other essential jobs.
Following on from the original CountEasy, the CountEasy IP was launched, which features an integrated printer to give you a physical printed record of your daily counts, followed in 2014 by the ground-breaking CountEasy TS – the first-ever intelligent touchscreen money counting scales to be launched, which also boasts an IP version.
The original CountEasy had an exciting upgrade in the summer of 2022, when, following customer feedback, it was relaunched with additional features and functionality including a larger backlit screen, float capability a USB port, the possibility of configuration for up to 32 languages and the capacity to switch to an additional currency.
All versions of the CountEasy also work with our CountEasy Connect driver software which enables the transfer of count data from your CountEasy directly into a Windows PC via a USB cable. This allows you to automatically populate a spreadsheet or back-office application, saving significant time and removing the opportunity for manual errors.
CountEasy Customers
The first major CountEasy customer was frozen food giants Iceland, who rolled out the CountEasy to their entire estate, and still use them to this day – 20 years of CountEasy cash counting! Other long-term CountEasy customers include Dobbies, Card Factory, Halfords, Marston’s, Mitchells & Butlers, Royal Bank of Scotland, Santander, Welcome Break, and The British Library.
Dobbies General Manager Sam Field has high praise for the CountEasy, having used the devices for many years in her Tewkesbury store: “The CountEasy money counter from Volumatic is incredibly reliable. It allows us to count large denominations of cash confidently, efficiently, and accurately. Not having to do daily manual cash counting makes a massive difference to the store team and makes their lives easier, meaning they can spend more time with our customers.”
Volumatic MD James Harris is proud of the history of the CountEasy and the legacy it has within Volumatic, stating: “The CountEasy is 20 years old, but that doesn’t mean it’s old technology – we’ve continually updated and upgraded all of our CountEasy devices to make them consistently accurate, reliable and easy to operate – and our customers love them.”
“Volumatic is fast approaching the sale of our 100 thousandth CountEasy device, and it continues to go from strength to strength – here’s to the next 20 years of CountEasy!”
