Businesses like Pest Control, Pool Services, and Security/Alarm Systems know firsthand how important it is to keep track of all their recurring appointments. Just think of how much time you’ll be saving when moving all your scheduling, client information, and billing to one platform. And if you are not available on the day of the appointment - it's not a problem, just move that scheduled visit to a queue for another employee to pick up, it’s all there in the system, which leads to no hassle and time saved.
But that’s not it, businesses who are serious about scaling up are highly encouraged to start using the RA feature as well. Let’s say you are in the HVAC industry and just came for a service call to fix a customer's heating unit. That’s a one-time transaction. Now imagine if you sell that same client a semi-annual service visit for a set fee to make sure everything is up and running. You tell the client that even though it is very hard to get a service appointment during busy seasons that is not 2-3 weeks away from the time of call, your client will always get a priority pass since their appointment will be in the books a few months in advance. Your clients will greatly appreciate that and you are bringing more profit to the company by setting up a repeat account with recurring payment. It’s a win-win for all. Setting up is easy:
Log in to your Orcatec account
Go to Settings
Click on Subscriptions
Enable Recurring Events module
And remember, our account managers are available at all times to answer questions and guide you through the process.
