According to David Bradford, chief financial officer of Environmental Pest Solutions and a PestPac client, “65% of SMS-enabled customers are now paying as many as 10 days early, and the average number of days customers take to pay has decreased from 22 to 8, eliminating valuable operational time.”
“Our company’s #1 goal is to provide consumers the ability to do business with us in an easy, convenient way,” Bradford said. “Our #2 goal is to allow for our employees to work in a convenient and efficient way and allowing our customers to pay via text achieved both of those goals.”
