ConnectBooster integrates with Zomentum to speed payment to providers
ConnectBooster, a provider of secure payment solutions for IT services firms, has announced a comprehensive new integration with the Zomentum IT sales acceleration platform that creates new functionality to boost efficiencies across the “quote to payment” process and improve the experience for partners and their customers.
A two-way flow of information between Zomentum and ConnectBooster allows clients to accept a project or service quote and make an immediate payment, to help managed service providers (MSPs) close deals faster, reduce labour costs, and strengthen cash flow. The companies say that in most cases, the connection can be set up and fully operational in approximately five minutes with just seven mouse clicks. Once configured, a sales prospect can immediately accept a quote and pay for any goods and services using credit cards or, in the U.S., via automated clearing house (ACH), all through the Zomentum platform. All client payment information is transmitted and saved in a secure ConnectBooster customer vault, and users can enable autopay for any future invoices.
