Cash flow in trades is won or lost in the driveway: field swipes, install deposits, financed system replacements, and maintenance agreements billed on a schedule. Checks and keyed phone approvals slow the job and often code as more expensive CNP. We equip techs with mobile EMV, right-size limits for big tickets, and automate agreement billing so seasonality does not bury you in a long contract.

- Chasing invoices and waiting on checks to clear
- High-ticket sales triggering holds, declines, or steep fees
- Losing bigger sales when customers cannot pay all at once
- Statements you cannot actually read or verify
