0261: Top 7 Reasons To Accept Credit Cards In Your Construction Company

Mar 23, 2018

This Podcast Is Episode Number 0261, And It Will Be About Top 7 Reasons To Accept Credit Cards In Your Construction Company

Today's Podcast Is Based On A Guest Article Is From Paige Martin

Payment difficulties in the construction industry are not a new occurrence. With the financial issues that have arisen in the construction industry, there is definitely the potential for all construction companies to move forward with efficiency and productivity in planning business needs like invoicing, payment receipt and more.

While the old school paper systems that are withheld in the office can get the basic information to and from the customers, there comes the question of payment due dates and ensuring that customers pay bills on time. Especially for small projects that are most likely due on completion, there is the current availability of digital credit card payment processing, in order to progress further into the go-green movement.

Considering the increased technical support and assistance that is now often needed with the accounting department of most any company, there is much to be seen for the credit card payment to be added to the construction industry.

Here are some of the reasons to offer credit card payment processing in your construction business:

1. Fast and efficient payments

Payment delays and losses persist in the construction industry and continue to be a key concern to industry practitioners. Overall there is the speedy and efficient process of credit card payment receipt. Considering the fact that credit card payments can be called in, made online to your company website, through a mobile app, on-site card reader or more, there is much to be said for the efficiency of these payments.

2. More immediate completion of digital bill payment, payments made and deposited by due dates.

Big project construction customers have the attitude of “Cannot” and “wouldn’t “ when it comes to paying their occurring construction bills. Since they are busy on-site, they usually reason out that if the construction business “cannot” provide a more conducive means of paying the occurring bills, with no penalties considering the due dates, they “wouldn’t” proceed with the deal. Now, that’s the point why construction businesses should start considering the digital credit card payments usually offered by some credit card processing platform Once payments are received from customers, there is much more immediate processing and lack of wait times on the deposit of large checks will not be an issue anymore. There is much to be said for the ability to receive a large payment in full by credit card, rather than having to place a long deposit hold on a check payment from a customer. With these digital payments processed immediately and efficiently, there is less stress or return of attention to past payments on members of the construction company accounting team.

3. Avoidance of fraudulent payments, bad checks.

The construction industry has no obstacles to entry of various customers and is well-known for low capital backing, but relies heavily on cash flows to withstand its operations. Considering this factor, construction businesses under big deals need to wait for checks to complete payments from the client and there was always the potential for a bad check to come in, causing a return fee on both you and the customer and adding more work in attempts to receive a good payment. With the immediate collection of a credit card payment, there is a one-step process, a sort of one-and-done closure of the final financial need of a project.

4. Efficient work procedures for the construction’s accounting department.

With all of the reduction of time needed for payment processing directly by the client or between the client and project manager, there is much to be said for the improved work processes for the accounting department. Relieving the manual account management of some of those individual payments helps to improve their focus on the company’s financial needs and improvement.

5. Lack of late payments means no collections.

Have you ever tried hiring a collection agent to call your clients regarding their delayed payments? With the ability to reduce the amount of late payments coming in from customers, or the lack of need to chase down late payments, there are minimal collections work from within the office and lack of need to outsource collections work. That is a financial savings for the construction company, as well as a great time savings and organizational improvement. Since as mentioned above that cash flow is critical for construction businesses, every financial in-flow is important.

6. Online, mobile and other payment options added.

With the improved business efficiency that can be gained with the creation of your construction website, and connection to a mobile payment app, there is the added connection to the customer ability to pay invoices as soon as they are received. That is what the app modernization in the 20^th century brings. Customers would have the ability to log into their accounts on your site and access their billing and payment history and help make sure everything is up-to-date. You just need to make sure that you have the essentials on your website to avoid financial transaction issues in the future.

7. On-site payments with card readers

With the connection of your own company card, especially for the improvement of your own bill payment and financial needs, there is often access to a remote card reader that can be taken on-site with project managers.

Therefore, all projects are available to receive credit card payments, making the communication between the project and accounting departments much more automated and efficient that traditional invoicing and payment receipt. Construction businesses should always offer traditional on-site payments assuming that not all clients are able to do online transactions

Considering the addition of digital credit card payments to the construction industry there is a great deal of accounting improvement that can be had in the long run. With the reduced pressure and stress that could be placed on the accounts receivable department, there is much more emphasis that can be placed on the improvement of the company’s finances as a whole.

So for all aspiring construction business owners, take note that there will be much more to be gained in developing business investors, stocks and more, with the long-term gain of business growth and larger customers and projects. So, with those payments coming in more easily there is a redirected focus on your construction business development.
