Abstract
A method for predicting future cash supply chain status includes tracking a plurality of monetary packages as they move along a cash supply chain. An quantity of monetary items that is estimated to arrive at a point along the cash supply chain on a future day, can be determined, based on tracking the monetary packages. Actions can then be taken based on the estimated quantity of monetary items. The calculation may be further based on expected positions of additional future monetary packages that are scheduled or predicted, based on history, to be received into the cash supply chain.
