As a pool service professional, are you drowning in a sea of paperwork? Do errors in manual invoicing keep surfacing, causing unwanted stress? Have you ever experienced the sinking feeling of lost cash or checks or the frustration of dealing with late or forgotten customer payments?
(You can put your hand down, these are rhetorical questions.)
We feel your pain!
Imagine the time spent toggling between different billing platforms when you could be growing your business or perfecting your craft. As we progress towards a cashless society, holding on to outdated payment collection methods isn’t just inconvenient—it’s costing you money.
The time and energy spent on back-office accounting tasks and waiting for checks to clear create significant delays in your cash flow. This is time and money that could be better invested in serving your customers and expanding your operations.
This is where Skimmer Billing steps in, seamlessly integrating payments into your pool service software. With Skimmer Billing, you can say goodbye to these common pain points and say hello to a streamlined, efficient, and, most importantly, accelerated billing process.
Here are five reasons to make the switch today.
1. Create consistent payments with AutoPay
Switch to Skimmer Billing, enable AutoPay for your customers, and add a solid helping of predictability to your cash flow.
Mike Messick, Skimmer Billing user and owner of All Seasons Pools, experiences the ease of funds flowing into his business without the monthly collection hassle, thanks to a system that gracefully handles variable amounts.
Mike shares his experience, saying, “Now, I can do a billing run in a few clicks and boom, there come the AutoPays and we've got tens of thousands of dollars of income to start off our month. I save myself 20-25 hours a month, better spent on new work, customer care, and fine-tuning our approach.”
2. Receive custom billing tailored for pool & spa service
Your business isn't one-size-fits-all, and neither should your billing. Stop the tedious task of manual entries or creating additional invoices for extra services, such as selling vacuum bags or chlorine tabs. Skimmer Billing understands your unique needs and streamlines the process, freeing you to focus on growing your business.
3. Turn leads into cash faster
Seize the opportunity to turn your leads into solid revenue more swiftly with Skimmer's Quotes feature. Quotes are designed to empower pool professionals, especially those managing larger projects that involve office staff or require customer approval before work begins.
With Quotes, you can send your customer a detailed, professional proposal outlining the proposed work and associated costs. Once your customer agrees, this Quote becomes a documented, agreed-upon price that protects both parties and sets clear expectations.
One of the standout benefits of this feature is its flexibility in billing. Pros can create multiple invoices tied back to a single Quote, allowing you to manage down payments or phased invoicing for larger projects efficiently.
This eliminates the tedious task of using third-party estimates, enabling you to keep everything in one place – your Skimmer Billing system. Gone are the days of juggling different platforms for estimates and billing; Skimmer’s Quotes feature simplifies this process, directly contributing to an accelerated cash inflow for your business.
