Custom currency equipment solutions: matched to your workflow

Not every cash room needs the biggest machine. WaTo helps you choose coin machines, note counters and scales that fit your volumes, space and workflow, then configures them for Australian currency and connects them to your cash management, POS or reconciliation systems where supported. You deal with one team from recommendation to handover. Adelaide-based, working nationally since 2001.

The short answer

WaTo Consulting recommends and sets up coin machines, note counters and currency scales to suit how your business handles cash. We look at your volumes, space and workflow, configure the equipment for Australian currency and, where it is supported, connect it to your POS or reconciliation systems. The right machine is not always the most expensive one.

What do custom currency equipment solutions involve?

Two businesses with the same machine can need very different setups. We start with your volumes, space, workflow and budget, recommend the equipment that fits, configure it for Australian currency and connect it to your existing cash management, POS or reconciliation systems where supported. For groups with several sites, we can standardise the equipment and setup so staff learn it once.

What we do

Equipment selection

We help you choose the right machine for your volumes, space and workflow, which is not always the most expensive option.

Site assessment

We check your site: power supply, bench space, ventilation, data connectivity and staff access.

Configuration

Equipment configured for Australian currency and set up around the way your team works.

Integration setup

Equipment configured to work with your existing cash management, POS or reconciliation systems where supported.

Multi-site standardisation

The same equipment and setup across branches or stores, so staff learn it once.

Warranty and support

Full manufacturer warranty administered through us, with one phone call for warranty claims and follow-up support.

Who it's for

  • Banks and credit unions rolling out new currency equipment across branch networks.
  • RSLs, clubs and casinos upgrading or expanding their cash-handling capacity.
  • Retail groups standardising currency equipment across multiple stores.
  • Cash-in-transit and processing companies commissioning new or replacement machines.

How it works

  1. We consult on your requirements. Volumes, workflow, site conditions, budget: we gather what we need to make a proper recommendation.
  2. We recommend the equipment. The machines that fit your cash room, with the reasons, and a clear answer on what you do not need.
  3. We assess your site. A technician visits to confirm power, data, space and any preparation needed before installation day.
  4. We install and configure. Equipment installed, configured for Australian currency, integrated with your systems where supported and tested on-site.
  5. We hand over and train. Your team gets hands-on training and a clear point of contact for any questions, warranty claims or follow-up support.

Why WaTo for custom setups

  • We recommend what fits your volumes and workflow, not just what costs the most.
  • Direct manufacturer partnerships mean competitive pricing and priority access to stock and technical support.
  • One provider from selection through installation to ongoing maintenance, so nothing falls into a gap between vendors.
  • Adelaide-based with national installation capability including regional and remote sites.
  • Over two decades of installing currency equipment means we anticipate problems before they become yours.

Custom solutions questions

How do you decide which machine suits us?

We look at your volumes, space, workflow and budget, then recommend the best fit from our range. It is not always the most expensive option.

Can the equipment connect to our POS or cash management system?

Where the equipment supports it, yes. Tell us what you use and we will confirm what can be connected before you commit.

Can you install equipment across multiple sites?

Yes. We regularly handle multi-site rollouts for banks, retail groups and club networks, coordinating freight, scheduling and installation so every site goes live smoothly.

Do you handle warranty claims?

Yes. Equipment we supply comes with full manufacturer warranty administered through us. If something goes wrong under warranty, you call us and we handle the claim and get the issue resolved.

Do you supply or install ATMs?

No. We supply and install coin machines, note counters and currency scales. We don't supply, install or service ATMs.

Want equipment that fits the way you handle cash?

Tell us about your volumes, your site and the systems you use, and we will recommend a setup and look after the installation and training.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

How do your plans and pricing work?

Whatever suits you: a fixed contract, a monthly retainer, prepaid blocks of hours, or simple hourly rates. You pick the model that fits your business, and we keep it transparent with no surprise bills.

How quickly do you respond?

You talk to a real person, not a call queue, and we're usually in contact within a few business hours. Urgent outages come first, and in metro Adelaide those are often seen the same day. Remote support is Australia-wide. Timing depends on the job and your agreement: see our service levels.

Do you only do IT support?

No. IT & Digital, cyber security, websites & hosting, business solutions and currency equipment, all from one local team. One number to call.

What does it cost?

Managed IT is typically $80 to $200 per user per month. One-off help is $115 an hour remote or $180 an hour on site. Prices are ex GST. See our rates.

Do you support businesses outside Adelaide?

Yes. We're Adelaide-based with on-site visits across South Australia, remote support Australia-wide, and we fly in to clients in Darwin, Brisbane and elsewhere for planned work.

Will you work with our existing IT person?

Absolutely. We often co-manage, taking on monitoring, security and after-hours cover alongside your in-house team.

Who we work with

Our story

Built in Adelaide, since 2001

WaTo Consulting was founded by John Watson in Adelaide in 2001. Over two decades it's earned a name for tailored work across a wide range of industries, helping businesses of every size run more smoothly, work more efficiently and grow steadily, without blowing the budget or disrupting the day-to-day. Rumour has it the story starts much earlier, with a young Wato on his grandfather's knee in front of a Commodore 64, learning to code in BASIC.

Emma Watson (née Dickenson) was part of the story for a stage along the way. She brought real estate and property management expertise, and a clear view of where the business could go: growing it, bringing in new systems and fresh thinking, and lifting the standard of how things are done. WaTo has been through plenty of shapes and stages since, but one thing she helped sharpen has never changed: being consistent for the client is a must.

Today the work runs from set-price plans to one-off builds, across IT & Digital, Cyber, Business, Currency and Web. The prices are a starting point, and each job is still fitted to what the client actually needs. Over the years those areas have come together under one roof at WaTo Consulting: one team working to one standard, with Wato still setting the direction.

When you work with us, you're a partner, not just a client.
