FieldSurf, Your Number One Payment Software
Welcome to the age of high-speed payment software. Another aspect of the business that FieldSurf has completely revolutionized is how payment is made and received in your plumbing business and how much time the entire process takes. It doesn’t take a business genius to see the stark difference between handling payments with FieldSurf and our payment software & doing it manually. It’s a lot faster, simpler and definitely more effective.
- Paper is slow and boring
Aside from the many possible errors usually associated with manually organizing payment the traditional way, paper is very slow and very boring. It’s a system made up of several working wheels and if you leave too many things to chance, things can get a bit messy even in the hands of the most qualified staff. Why not give your staff a payment software that will make processing and receive payments a lot easier and faster?
- Electronic invoicing
One of the major places where things get delayed and messed up in payment processing is invoice management. In the past, the process of preparing an invoice used to be quite tedious. There are times that out of oversight, invoices are not sent on time or not even sent at all. This delays payment processing on both ends. It will take time to get the invoice prepared on your side of the board and a load of time is wasted again on the other side with your client as well.
With this payment software, the process is automated and made much easier and faster. The invoice is prepared instantly as the work order Is prepared, and the bill is sent to your client from the software to your client’s email immediately the task is signed off as completed. No more slowness and the regular delays associated with managing invoices. Ditch the paperwork and switch to a payment software you can trust.
- On-site payment processing
One of the new frontiers which FieldSurf helps your company attain is on-site payment processing. In the past, you can have a backlog of unsent invoices and a lot of your payments yet to be made because of the slow and hectic process involved in processing payments on both sides. But with this payment software, you can now receive payments the very day you complete a task right there in the field.
After a job is completed, your client can inspect the job and if they are satisfied, they sign on your field technician’s mobile device. Once this is done, FieldSurf sends a bill with all the payment details to your client’s email instantly. Sweet right? No more weeks of preparing the invoice on your side.
And if you want, you can receive payments right there in the field. FieldSurf has a function that allows you to receive payment instantly by swiping the client’s credit card on FieldSurf’s credit card swiping device and your customer gets a confirmation of the payment immediately if an internet connection is available.
In cases when an internet connection is not readily available, or the card isn’t physically available. You can simply collect the client’s details into the payment software and the payment is instantly processed the moment you reconnect to the internet.
What do you gain by this?
Asides the fact that a faster process of managing payment is healthier for your business, receiving payment this way is less prone to error than the traditional system.
- Reduced timing and cost: without FieldSurf’s payment software, processing payment can take as much as 4 days to weeks before you receive payments if you factor in all the delays from your side and the extra time that it will take your client to respond. But with this payment software, you are cutting down on that to the barest minimum. It’s like lightning speed with FieldSurf when you place them side by side.
- You can cut down drastically on losses accrued through bounced checks, rejected cards, or unpaid invoices which will amount to extra processing cost if FieldSurf isn’t used.
- Error reduction: a combination of electronic invoicing and on-site card processing helps you to cut down on errors associated with manual payment processing whether human or otherwise.
By using FieldSurf to process payments efficiency is guaranteed in that area of business that most plumbing companies have issues with. Even your customers are happier to be able to get every detail of this business to settle all at once and not have to wait for days or weeks to get an invoice from you.
- Turning techs into salespeople
Another advantage of using FieldSurf to manage payment for your business is how it helps to break things down for your plumbers. With little or no knowledge of business or accounts at all, your field technicians through the FieldSurf software can manage on their own. They can give quotes on the field, are aware of all the items available, how much each cost, and can help with receiving payments from your customers in real time.
Since invoice is sent on-site, your field techs can answer any questions or clarification your client might need about the completed task or the invoice sent. With this, you get more satisfied customers who will trust your business even better and will be interested in hiring you in future and recommending your business to others.
