For trades where the counter is wherever the van is parked.
Field work does not run like a shop. The job has to be finished, explained, and paid for in the same visit, and the next call is usually a different size entirely. Your payment setup should be built around that, not around a till.
We work with:
- Plumbing and drain contractors running service calls and replacements
- Electricians quoting panel work, rewires, and commercial jobs
- Handymen and repair businesses working a full book of small jobs
- Owner-operators and multi-van crews taking payment away from an office
The hard part is collecting, not selling.
Most trade businesses reach us because of how payment happens in the field, not because of a rate on a statement.
The job is finished and the money is not. An invoice mailed after the van pulls away turns a completed call into something you have to chase.
Bigger work needs a deposit before materials are ordered, and asking for one is awkward when there is no clean way to take it.
Payment happens in a kitchen, a crawl space, or at the back of the van - not at a counter - and the setup has to work there.
Tickets swing from a small call-out to a full replacement, so pricing that looks fine on one job can look very different on the next.
Coverage at a property can be poor, and a payment that will not go through with the customer standing there is the one that turns into a phone call next week. That is worth planning for before it happens.
Setups built around the job site, the deposit, and the invoice.
Set up acceptance for the way the work actually happens
Card acceptance at the job site, on a phone or a mobile reader, including how it behaves when the signal at a property is poor.
Give deposits and invoices a real process
A consistent way to take a deposit before materials, bill the balance on completion, and stage payments on longer multi-visit jobs.
Explain how your pricing is actually structured
We walk through your statement line by line - what is interchange, what is markup, what the card-not-present jobs cost - so the numbers are not a mystery.
Give you one accountable specialist
A named contact who knows your file and your trade, so a question about a job or a statement does not start over with a ticket queue.
From chasing the balance to closing the job on site.
Field payments review
We look at how jobs are quoted, paid, and invoiced today, and where the money actually gets stuck.
Setup and pricing plan
We design acceptance for the van and the job site, plus deposits and invoicing, and explain how the pricing is structured.
Get it live and tested
Hardware and invoicing are configured and tried on a real transaction before you rely on them mid-job.
Ongoing review
Your specialist stays close enough to revisit the setup as the crew, the job mix, or the busy season changes.
Trades that wanted collecting to be the boring part of the day.
These are illustrative of the work, not case studies. What they have in common is a payment step that was designed for the field instead of inherited from a shop counter.
A service plumber moved from taking card numbers over the phone after the fact to collecting at the door as the job was signed off.
An electrical contractor added a deposit step before ordering materials, so larger jobs no longer started on the company card.
A solo handyman replaced cash-and-check-only with an acceptance setup that travels in the van and works between properties.
We will not promise that every customer pays on the spot or that a card never declines in a basement. We will review how you take payment now, show you how your pricing is put together, and design a setup that fits the way your crew actually works.
Close out the job before you leave the driveway.
A short review can show you where payment slips through the cracks between the last bolt and the bank, how deposits and invoices could be handled, and how your pricing is structured today.
