How to grow your payments app with sprinkler installers
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Sprinkler installers design, fit and service fire sprinkler systems in warehouses, shops, care homes, blocks of flats and homes. Bigger jobs are often paid in stages as the work goes in, and most systems then need regular service visits. A payments app that handles deposits, stage payments and service fees can win sprinkler installers, and every building owner that pays them sees your app.
Talk to sprinkler installers
Ask local sprinkler installers:
- Do you take a deposit before a job starts?
- How do customers pay stage payments on bigger jobs?
- How do customers pay for service visits?
- How long do invoices take to be paid?
Take a deposit and stage payments
A link sent with the quote lets the customer pay a deposit straight away, and a new link at each stage keeps money coming in while the work goes on.
Make service visits regular
Customers can pay for regular service visits on a plan, so the installer gets steady income and never has to chase a renewal.
Grow through fire safety trades
Sprinkler installers work alongside fire alarm engineers, extinguisher firms and managing agents. When those businesses take payments through your app, each installer can bring more of them onto it.
