A cash logistics RFP should cover ten sections — company overview, customer types, module coverage, integrations, security, audit, deployment, implementation, support and references — with weighting tied to your operational priorities.
Best fit for
- RFP authors at banks, CIT and cash centers
- Procurement teams selecting cash logistics platforms
- Operations leaders building vendor scorecards
Not the same as
- Generic SaaS RFPs without physical cash workflows
- Payment processor RFPs
RFP sections
- Company and product overview
- Supported customer types
- Module coverage
- Integration capabilities
- Security and access control
- Audit trail and reporting
- Deployment model
- Implementation methodology
- Support and SLA
- References and case studies
Module coverage questions
- Does the platform manage cash orders and deposits?
- Does it support route planning and cash-in-transit control?
- Does it support processing center workflows?
- Does it support vault limits and storage movements?
- Does it support billing and paperless documents?
Vendor selection red flags
- No cash-specific chain-of-custody model
- No operations-linked billing
- No on-prem or hybrid option (if regulator requires)
- No references in your customer type
- No documented audit-trail event catalog
Frequently asked questions
Can we reuse this checklist for procurement at a bank vs CIT?
Yes — the ten sections apply to both, but weighting differs. Banks usually weight audit and integration higher; CIT operators weight route, billing and customer collaboration higher.
Is there a downloadable PDF?
Not yet — a downloadable asset is on the production roadmap.
