Shields Business Solutions Expands Services with New Facility in Central Pennsylvania

Shields Business Solutions Expands into Central Pennsylvania

In a bid to enhance its service offerings, Shields Business Solutions has officially inaugurated a new operations facility in central Pennsylvania. This prominent move aligns with Shields’ rich legacy of over 55 years in providing secure, reliable cash-in-transit (CIT) solutions, making it a leader in the industry. The company, recognized as the largest independent CIT provider in the tri-state region, is set to leverage its latest facility to meet the rapidly growing demands surrounding financial and commercial sectors in this area.

With a remarkable 99% delivery rate, Shields outshines the national averages reported by armored carriers, establishing itself as the gold standard for safety, accuracy, and customer service. This new facility will serve as a strategic hub, directly supporting key counties including Cumberland, Dauphin, Lebanon, Lancaster, York, and Perry, making it easier than ever for local businesses to access vital cash logistics services.

In addition to its distinguished CIT service, Shields has proudly celebrated 25 years as a partner with NCR, a leader in the world of ATM and ITM technology. Through this partnership, Shields offers cutting-edge hardware, software, and servicing solutions designed to modernize self-service experiences in banking and retail environments. Beyond this, Shields also provides extensive cash management solutions, optimally catering to diverse verticals such as healthcare, retail, government, and non-profit sectors.

The decision to expand into central Pennsylvania comes on the heels of increasing local demand for high-quality CIT services. The strategically situated Harrisburg region is conveniently located within Pennsylvania's extensive transportation network, facilitating quick access to major thoroughfares such as I-81, I-83, and the Pennsylvania Turnpike. This geographical advantage promises to minimize transit times and enhance Shields' service coverage statewide.

Building Reliable Partnerships

Shields Business Solutions is not just about moving money; it aims to build partnerships characterized by trust and reliability. Their operations are tailored to provide secure, efficient cash management services that not only reduce operational costs but also safeguard essential business assets.

Efficient cash handling is a significant focus for Shields, as it empowers clients to concentrate on their core operations and growth without worrying about potential disruptions in cash logistics. Every partnership is backed by years of industry experience, ensuring that clients receive timely services that prioritize both accuracy and security.

Kristine Good, VP of Retail Operations at Ephrata National Bank, highlighted the benefits of working with Shields, stating, "Since partnering with SBS, our cash logistics and ATM replenishment processes have become seamless. They are always on time, their routes are efficient, and their customer service is extremely responsive. They consistently go above and beyond, bringing creativity, reliability, and genuine care to our business needs."

Mark McGrath, President of Shields Business Solutions, expressed his enthusiasm about the expansion, noting, "Our move into central Pennsylvania allows us to bring Shields' best-in-class service model to financial institutions and businesses that value reliability, transparency, and personalized support. For more than five decades, we've taken pride in doing things the right way."

Future Prospects

The newly established operation not only promises an expanded service but also aims to impact the local economy by fostering job creation in operational, service, and logistical roles. As Shields grows its footprint, it reassures clients that they are committed to investing in the communities they serve, thereby enhancing local employment opportunities while meeting the needs of its clientele.

Founded in 1970, Shields Business Solutions remains the premier provider of CIT services and cash management solutions, serving clients across the tri-state area and beyond. With its expansion in Central Pennsylvania, the company is poised to fortify its market position as the go-to cash service provider in the region.
