FENSA APPROVED INSTALLERS CAN NOW ‘ BEE PAID ’ INSTANTLY THANKS TO NEW MOBILE APP
» FENSA IS PROUD TO INTRODUCE beepaidGo , a new app that allows FENSA Approved Installers to take payments for work via their mobile phone or tablet , helping them to manage their finances more efficiently and to improve cash flow . beepaidGo has been introduced following an increasing number of calls from installers for a more up to date and faster way of accepting payments , one that allows them to minimise unnecessary and time consuming paperwork , so that they can put more of a focus on winning additional work and growing their business .
Developed by takepayments Limited , beepaidGo is being offered to FENSA Approved Installers at an exclusive price of just £ 5 + VAT per month . It is the latest in a series of exciting new initiatives from the UK ’ s largest and most prominent glazing competency scheme , designed to make life easier for busy installers and to raise standards of professionalism in the process .
Once the beepaidGo app is downloaded onto a phone or tablet , installers can request payment in three easy steps . To start with , the installer simply adds a customer ’ s details , after which the customer will be sent a secure link via text message or email that will request payment and prompt them to complete their card details . Finally , the beepaidGo app will send a notification to the user that the customer has completed payment , after which the money will be transferred to a bank account for the next banking day *.
In addition to the new mobile app , FENSA Approved Installers can also take advantage of a range of other payment platforms from takepayments Limited , including portable card payment devices that operate via a dedicated GPRS SIM card , a payment gateway that can be set up on a company ’ s website or even a pay by link product that allows users to create and send an electronic invoice .
Chris Beedel , FENSA Director of Membership , commented : “ A recent survey to our FENSA Approved Installers showed us that
a number of them would like to have card payment facilities available , in order to make it easier for them to chase and receive payment and to improve cash flow .”
“ The beepaidGo app is the perfect way for them to do just that whilst monitoring what payments are still outstanding . We think this will really help our installers manage their finances and with it available at half price to FENSA Approved Installers , it really is exciting to see how many of them will take advantage of another industry leading benefit .”
Jodie Wilkinson , Head of Strategic Partnerships at takepayments Limited , said : “ We saw glazing as an ideal sector where the beepaidGo app could really help installation companies on a day to day basis and so we ’ re delighted to have partnered with FENSA as the biggest name in the industry .” takepayments Limited are card payment specialists with 25 years ’ experience , who focus on quality products and the best customer service to help independent businesses grow .
