How to grow your payments app with rope access technicians
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Rope access technicians work at height on ropes instead of scaffolding. They clean windows and cladding on tall buildings, inspect and repair facades, fit signs and nets, and work on towers and bridges. Much of the work is for managing agents and facilities management companies, often charged by the day or by the job. A payments app that handles deposits, day rates and invoices can win rope access firms, and every building owner that pays them sees your app.
Talk to rope access firms
Ask local rope access firms:
- Do you take a deposit before a big job?
- Do you charge by the day or by the job?
- Who pays you, the building owner or a managing agent?
- How long do invoices take to be paid?
Take a deposit before the job
A link sent with the quote lets the customer pay a deposit straight away, so the firm can plan the job and book its team.
Send invoices that get paid
An invoice with a payment link lets managing agents and building owners pay as soon as the work is signed off, so the firm isn't waiting weeks.
Grow through building services
Rope access firms work alongside window cleaners, bird control specialists and facilities management companies. When those businesses take payments through your app, each firm can bring more of them onto it.
