SM-Mobile Offers Credit Card Processing

We at Thoughtful Systems are pleased our new credit card processing capability in our mobile app. Users of the mobile job scheduling and employee monitoring software for service businesses, SM-Mobile, can now accept credit cards from customers as payment for work performed, in  addition to the other payment types previously included.

SM-Mobile lets employees, team leaders and supervisors see jobs on their mobile devices.  All important details concerning the work appointment are included.  When a job is marked as completed, an invoice is automatically generated, and if the customer wants to pay by credit card, the employee can take the credit card details from the customer, enter it into the mobile software, and process the payment at the customer’s site.

Previously, the employee using the SM-Mobile job scheduling app could record that the customer was paying by credit card, and the information was transmitted back to the home office, where the actual processing took place..  Now, with this new feature, the credit card is processed on the spot.  The system uses secure channels of communication to transmit data via Thoughtful Systems’ credit card processing agent.

Users of the desktop service business software, Scheduling Manager Gemini, have been using the credit card processing feature for many years to streamline billing.  This has saved our users countless hours, and increased efficiency.  No longer do users need to key In credit cards manually, and then manually process batches of transactions at the end of the day.  When a credit card is received by the business owner, information is entered, and card details are encoded, so the data does not reside on the user’s computer.  The user knows only the last 4 digits of the card, the card type and the expiration date.  All credit card transactions thereafter are processed smoothly, with the encoded data residing only on the credit card processing agent’s computers.

E-checks can also be used by your customers to pay invoices.  The same features will shortly be available to accept e-checks.

If you want to take a look at SM-Mobile, you can download a free trial from the Apple App Store (Apple devices) or the Google Play Store (Android).  Simply search for “SM-Mobile”.  SM-Mobile works in conjunction with our desktop-based software, Scheduling Manager Gemini, or our online scheduling program, The Web Express Version.  Trials are also available for the Web Express version or the Scheduling Manager Gemini.
And don’t forget, SM-Mobile includes lots of other useful features for the mobile workforce as well — including the ability to take photos, create estimates, generate invoices and all the functions necessary to perform the job scheduling functions at the heart of SM-Mobile.
