Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 0:
1. A method, comprising:
obtaining, by a processor, a predicted media level for each Self-Service Terminal (SST) within a customized group of SSTs over a given period of time;
providing, by the processor, a message to a potential depositor to make a media deposit at a first SST of the customized group, wherein the first SST identified as being deficient in media based on the predicted media level during the given period of time; and
rendering, by the processor, identifiers for the SSTs of the customized group within an interactive cartographic heat map for historical media deposits, historical media withdrawals, and locations of each SST over a historical time period along with current real-time media totals associated with each SST;
providing, by the processor, the interactive cartographic heat map within an interface to a user for visualizing and managing media levels of the SSTs;
monitoring current media levels at each SST of the customized group;
determining a given current media level at a given SST of the customized group is high based on a policy;
physically controlling the given SST to shut down deposit operations on the given SST as long as the given current media level remains high based on the policy; and
displaying a second message on the given SST indicating the deposit operations are shut down for the given SST and further indicating the first SST is available for the deposit operations.
