AutoLines
Warehouse automation for books and media.
AutoLines combine user-friendly conveyor hardware with CashMonkey software to route every book to its highest-value destination in real time. The result is higher throughput, fewer touchpoints, and smarter decisions on every item.
The problem
What teams struggle with today
The bottleneck at scale is physical: totes, gaylords, and conveyors that require human decisions at every diverter. Even efficient teams top out because the movement of goods can't outpace the movement of paper.

FAQ
Common questions.
- How quickly can we roll out AutoLines?
- Most teams are live in weeks, not quarters. We tailor configuration to your workflows during onboarding.
- Does it work with our existing systems?
- Yes — CashMonkey connects to major marketplaces, carriers, and ERPs. Custom integrations are supported.
- Is the AI decision support or does it act on its own?
- AI supports decisions; rules and human oversight stay in your control. You configure how much autonomy the platform gets.
- Can we start with one product and expand later?
- Yes. Every product works independently and shares a data model with the rest of the platform — so adding modules is additive, not disruptive.
CashMonkey has allowed us to scale our business beyond what we thought possible. They offer unmatched customer service and allow for complete customization to fit our business. CashMonkey is unlike any other enterprise-level inventory management software and now we are working toward buying an AutoLine!
