Methods and apparatus for managing cash items are disclosed. For example, a predetermined or calculated amount/composition of rolled coins may be dispensed based on a count of loose coins, or a mixture of rolled and/or loose coins may be dispensed based on a command from a cash management software program or module. Coins from an end of day deposit may be utilized to calculate a dispense requirement for start-of-day till preparation. A self-service device such as a kiosk, self-checkout lane, or payment island may be configured to also perform cash management tasks and/or to transmit an output to a back office and/or bank to receive provisional credit. Change orders, bank deposits, and/or other cash service tasks may be automated in various aspects including, for instance, scheduling, preparation of cash items (e. g. , with predetermined or optimized amount/composition), central management of business rules, and reconciliation of fulfillment with invoices or SLAs.

A computing system and platform uses various types of data stores to allow efficient querying of, and accelerated access to, extremely large data sets. One such data store is a dimension store that combines key-value and columnar stores, access to which is provided by several selectable mechanisms chosen based the nature of the data of interest. These include bitmap-based access, us of an optimized columnar data format, and access via namespace identifiers. A compressed, optimized page data format is provided for storing and analyzing large fact-based data. The complex dimension store is used to provide complex relationships and interpretation of the fact-based data, enabling high-performance advanced queries, with bitmap indexes passed between the two stores. Dimension data is stored in an encrypted manner throughout the system, and can be exchanged among parties in a secure manner.
