 DLR Analytics gives central banks the tools they need to make 
 evidence-based decisions for a better-managed, more efficient 
 and more cost-effective cash cycle. 

Cash Cycle challenges

Increasingly, central banks are facing pressure to provide transparency and quantify their decision-making. Something that's easier said than done with traditional methods of cash cycle management.

Challenges

How DLR Analytics helps

Transparency

How do you justify the decisions your bank makes? Do you have easy access to evidence to back them up?

Meet informed decision-making

Say goodbye to educated guesswork. DLR Analytics gives you data-driven insights to quantify your decisions.

Predictability

How can you better forecast demand? Do you have the right denominations in the right place at the right time? What forecasting model is the right one to use?

Your cash cycle. Like you’ve never seen it before

Advanced statistical methods and popular central bank forecasting models combine to give you greater confidence in your banknote demand forecasting.

Visibility

Do you have a clear picture of what's happening in your cash cycle? What are the main reasons for failure in circulation?

Look into the future

DLR Analytics helps you understand how changes will affect your cash cycle and the life of your notes. Users can see how analogous changes have impacted other central banks.

Context

How can you check whether you are operating within regional norms? Why has something worked in another country but not yours? How do you collaborate with other central banks more effectively?

A standardised approach

DLR Analytics provides a standardised mathematical approach and language to enable better knowledge exchange and benchmarking. Global and regional aggregated, anonymised data lets you carry out comparisons of your data with others in the region.

What the industry is saying

"Analytics has added value to what we are doing and perhaps given us a whole new dimension to our role as well: we can easily extract the information we require from Analytics, interpret the graphical illustrations etc. I think the difference is that we now interact a lot with the system which adds value to what we are currently doing."

Daniel Haridi, Chief Manager of Currency and the Banking Operations Department at Central Bank of Solomon Islands

"The model comes in handy to assess the life expectancy and manage the stocks. It is very useful to plan and reorder quantities."

Ravi Kamoda, Currency Manager at the Reserve Bank of Fiji

"DLR allows you to see trends in other countries that are in the same situation as you or further on down the line."

Peter Balke, Senior Policy Adviser at the Netherlands Bank

"DLR Analytics provides central banks with an invaluable way of forecasting the future demand for cash – an issue ever-more prevalent, given the rise of digital payments. The software proves substantial value can be taken from simpler aggregated data, reducing the costs for central banks investigating its cash’s lifecycle."
