How Automatic Charge Deposits Streamline Your Repairs and Help Save Time

Hey, repair pros!

Managing a repair shop can be stressful and hectic, specifically when it comes to payments. It happens that you might forget to charge a deposit upfront. As a result, it causes cash flow issues in future such as the customers not paying in full later. This is why you need something (a tool, a reliable partner, a software) that can automate the process. 

With RepairDesk’s new automatic charge deposit feature, you cannot only streamline repair jobs, but save your valuable time too. 

In addition to that, it also saves you from scammers up to some extent. Smartphone snatchers visit repair shops to get the phone fixed so that they can sell it for a higher price. But, sometimes, they get afraid and never come back to pick up the mobile. This also implies that you must know how to avoid scams at your phone repair store, and check the phone before accepting the job.    

So, how does this help you?

First, it reduces any possible human errors. For instance, in your busy repair shop, you can forget to check the deposit box. But, by automating the process, you never have to worry about missing any payments. 

Second, it significantly speeds up your workflow. When you charge deposits automatically, your team will spend less time on administrative tasks, boosting productivity. 

Third, you can improve your cash flow. When you charge a deposit upfront, it ensures that you have a portion of the payment secured before the repair starts. So, there will be no more worrying about customers ghosting you after the job is done.

Lastly, it boosts customer trust. Customers are one of the most important aspects of your business and they can make or break your business. That’s why customer trust is important. Thus, a consistent deposit policy shows that you are not just an incapable repair business owner or a newcomer, but a  professional. Customers would feel more confident knowing their device is in the hands of a trusted shop with clear and reliable procedures.

Using RepairDesk you can activate this feature. Head over to Store Settings > General Settings > Deposit and toggle the option to “Yes” for automatic deposits.

By making these small changes in POS software, you will surely see improvements in your shop’s efficiency. So, what are you waiting for? Turn on the automatic charge deposit today and start saving time!
