Combined with analytics, it helps businesses not just record payments, but understand where money comes from, which services generate profit, and which employees drive revenue.

In Altegio, the balance of each cash register and all related operations are visible in real time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Transfers between accounts, for example when cash revenue is moved to a bank account, are recorded as separate operations. Financial reporting stays clean, and there is no need to reconstruct cash movement manually at the end of the month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/alteg.io\/en\/support\/knowledge-base\/4868661307421-accounts-and-cash-registers\/\" title=\"\">Accounts and cash registers<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/alteg.io\/en\/support\/knowledge-base\/4868638297885-creating-and-configuring-new-cash-register\/\" title=\"\">Creating and setting up a new cash register<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/Creating and configuring new cash register\" title=\"\">Transferring funds from one cash register to another<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Financial operations: a single log of all payments<\/strong><br>All business transactions\u2014service payments, product sales, income from gift certificates and memberships, salary payouts, material expenses, and taxes\u2014are displayed in one section.
