Its Remote Planet platform provides 24/7 satellite-connected monitoring, GNSS tracking, and remote management of these devices across cash-in-transit vehicles, ATM networks, and retail cash handling environments.

Scale indicators8 records

Recent moves8 records

Expansion highlights7 records

Broad incumbents

• Brink's: Global cash management and secure logistics giant offering CIT, ATM, and cash protection services at much larger scale. Comparable as both a buyer of and competitor to Secure Innovation's ibox and Remote Planet technologies, given its broad service portfolio and multinational footprint.
• Loomis: International cash handling, CIT, and security services provider serving banks, retailers, and governments. Directly comparable as a CIT customer and operator competing in cash protection, with deep relationships across the same buyer base Secure Innovation targets.
• Diebold Nixdorf: Global ATM manufacturer and services provider with integrated ATM security and managed services. Comparable as a buyer of cash protection technology and as a broader incumbent that bundles protection features into ATM deployments worldwide.
• NCR Atleos: ATM-focused business spun out from NCR providing hardware, software, and services for financial institutions. Overlaps with Secure Innovation in ATM security and managed services, particularly relevant given Secure Innovation's a2m and core product lines targeting bank ATM operators.

Direct peers

• Gunnebo: Swedish safe storage and cash handling specialist that co-developed ibox Safepay with Secure Innovation. Operates as both a strategic partner and adjacent competitor in closed cash cycle solutions for retail and CIT, sharing the same European institutional buyer base.
• 3SI Security Systems: US-headquartered provider of cash protection, ATM security, and tracking solutions with similar IBNS, dye-stain, and asset-tracking offerings. Directly comparable as a specialist peer competing for CIT and bank ATM protection contracts in overlapping geographies.
• Tidel: US-based provider of retail cash management systems including smart safes and cash recyclers. Direct competitor in the retail cash deposit and smart safe category, serving convenience stores, grocery, and quick-service restaurants with comparable hardware-led solutions.
• Volumatic: UK-based cash handling and counting specialist supplying retailers and CIT operators with cash management hardware. Directly comparable as a regional peer in intelligent cash handling, sharing overlap with Secure Innovation's UK and European retail customer base.

Emerging players

• ScanCoin: European cash handling equipment manufacturer offering note counters, coin sorters, and cash recyclers for banks and retailers. Comparable as a cash handling hardware vendor competing for retail and CIT operator budgets, though less specialised in protection/IBNS than Secure Innovation.

Regional players

• Hitachi Payment Services: India-based ATM and cash management services provider with significant ATM managed services and CIT operations. Comparable as a regional player addressing ATM security and cash handling in South Asia, a geography where Secure Innovation is building presence but where local providers dominate.
