Exchange shops in Phuket
Exchange shop software in Phuket
Phuket's exchange counters follow the beaches. Patong is fifteen minutes from Kata and almost an hour from Bang Tao, so an owner with three counters cannot check every drawer in person each day. Customers bring roubles, euros and Australian dollars in proportions unlike the rest of the country, and the rouble is the currency that needs the most frequent adjustment.
The currencies a Phuket board should carry
Phuket is where customers bring roubles and Australian dollars in volume, two currencies that move slowly in Bangkok.

What shops in Phuket struggle with
A volatile rouble
The rouble may need adjusting several times a day, and every branch has to follow. The bank rate refreshes every 15 minutes, and the owner adjusts each branch's spread from a phone, with a history of every change.
Branches spread along the coast
Multi-currency cash sits in branches the owner does not see daily. Every daily close carries evidence, handover sheets are signed and photographed, and a morning warning fires when any currency falls below its threshold.
Late hours in high season
Patong counters close after midnight. Set the business-day cutoff to 05:00, say, and a count and close at 1 a.m. still belong to the same day. Staff close on their own; a manager reviews it in the morning.
What owners in Phuket ask
Can I adjust the rouble rate from my phone?
Yes. The owner adjusts the spread on the rates screen from a phone, the branch board follows, and the system records who changed it and when.
Can I pause in the low season?
Talk to the team before the season ends to agree the break; the shop's history is all there when you reopen.
Can Patong staff see Kata's figures?
No. Cashiers see only their own branch; the owner and staff granted cross-branch access see the whole picture.
