System integration business management software provider D-Tools is launching D-Tools Payments, a new secure, embedded solution designed to streamline payment processing directly within the company’s D-Tools Cloud environment.
According to the company, D-Tools Payments, available for free to current and new D-Tools Cloud subscribers (which itself is also free for integrators), is designed as a seamless, secure and compliant payment system that features an intuitive onboarding and underwriting process, transparent transaction fees, and faster time-to-cash for ACH payments. The solution also features embedded financial reporting to help finance teams reconcile payment transactions and cash deposits.
D-Tools Payments also includes automated issuance and collection of recurring invoices, instant in-app notifications that alert merchants of potential issues and provide guidance, transparent credit card and ACH fees, quick access to funds when ACH payments are taken, and advanced encryption and other security protocols, the company says.
Randy Stearns, CEO of D-Tools, says D-Tools Payments simplifies invoicing and collecting payments, which is often not a priority and can be difficult to manage.
“D-Tools Payments makes it easy for D-Tools Cloud users to simplify every aspect of payment processing – from payment request to bank deposit – without leaving the D-Tools Cloud environment,” Stearns says. “D-Tools Payments is designed to elegantly support project progress payments, one-time payments, and even automated recurring payments for service and monitoring agreements, all in a manner that is fast and efficient for both you and your clients.”
Lightapalooza took place in late February, and the growth of the event has mirrored the rapid ascension lighting fixtures and controls.
D-Tools Payments is the latest of new capabilities the company has made to D-Tools include, including service management, project management, intelligent visual quoting, interactive system design, change order handling, sales pipeline and CRM administration, multimedia proposals with e-sign and payment collection capabilities, in-the-field estimating, product procurement using supplier-authorized integrator-specific pricing, as well as scheduling, time tracking, and task management.
The company says it has piloted D-Tools Payments with several integration firms who have reported positive experiences with the new finance tool.
Blake Turner, owner of Turner’s Audio Video in South Mills, N.C., says, “The D-Tools Payment Processing has been a gamechanger for me and my business. Integrating payments directly into proposals has saved me time, and having one seamless experience for the customer has increased the quote acceptance as well. I would like to thank the D-Tools team as well… they have been there every step of the way to ensure the beta testing has gone without a hitch! I truly recommend this to any other companies looking for a new way to take payments!”
Mosey Levy, owner at Backstage AV with locations in New York and New Jersey, says he is already addicted to D-Tools Payments. “D-Tools new natively built-in payment system has been amazing for us!” says Levy. “We’ve long used D-Tools for keeping track of project payment status, but now we are able to request a payment from a client and have them pay online without any hassle. We found that it’s been significantly easier for our clients to make payments this way, and we have fewer of our clients requesting to just send us a wire or a check. For us, having everything in the D-Tools’ system makes our lives easier. One less website to check… the more that we can do inside D-Tools, the better for us.”
Bryce Morrow of Area 51 Audio Engineering and Consulting in Tucson, Ariz., adds, “The payment tool offers an intuitive experience for managing transactions, making it a breeze for us to handle billing and payments efficiently. Its user-friendly interface and feature-set have enhanced our productivity.”
“D-Tools Payments completely helps us streamline and collect customer payments more efficiently and accurately,” says Todd Forgan, owner of Modern Media based in Southlake, Texas.
