Self Storage ManagerTM Interfaces with Vanguard for ACH Payments
BLUE BELL, PA, November 30, 2006 - E-SoftSysTM, Total Solutions Provider
for the Self Storage industry announced today its alliance with Vanguard
Payment Systems, which will offer turnkey ACH processing services to the
clients of E-SoftSys premier management software Self Storage ManagerTM.
By combining the strength of Self Storage Manager with the interface to
Vanguard's achXchange real time ACH payment processing, the companies provide
several key capabilities, to the self storage companies including;
-
AchXchange provides easy to use real-time ACH processing instead of traditional
cumbersome and complex batch file processing method.
-
Tenants will sign an authorization form for files and will give a voided check.
-
Users process payments or returns with a simple click of a button. The system
then securely sends payment and return information to Vanguard Payment Systems.
-
The System records clients as paid after you submit their ACH payment. You can
re-submit returns due to insufficient funds. Vanguard will deposit the funds
into your account approximately 48 hours after ACH payment transactions are
submitted.
Benefits to the Self Storage companies:
Self Storage companies will enjoy the convenience of automated billing using
ACH. By offering ACH payments, they distinguish themselves from their
competition. And, it's a well-known secret in the self-storage industry that
tenants using ACH as their automatic payment rent longer. Storage industry
payment processing analysis shows that given a choice of payment, about 35% of
tenants choose ACH over other automatic payment options.
-
ACH processing is much less expensive than credit card, debit card, or paper
check processing.
-
Receive payments in full and on time with recurring ACH bill payments and
reduce costs associated with collections and write-offs.
-
Settle payments faster, putting cash on the bottom line sooner. Automated bill
payments are authorized in advance and on a regular basis.
-
Extend customer base by allowing consumers the convenience and flexibility to
select the payment method they prefer: ACH, credit card, or check. Because 40
percent of all consumers do not have a credit card; ACH and electronic check
processing is an attractive payment option for those consumers.
-
Reduce back-office burdens by using ACH to streamline the entire remittance
process.
-
Faster customer refunds without the need to send a physical check.
-
Non-Sufficient Funds (NSF) and Uncollected Balance automatic re-deposit, with
definable re-deposit parameters.
According to Kat Shenoy, President and CEO of E-SoftSys, "We are
constantly looking for ways to deliver product enhancements that will assist
our clients to reduce costs, increase revenue and improve customer service. We
chose Vanguard because of their expertise in ACH processing and their ability
to understand the needs of self storage operators. As a result of the ACH
interface, facilities using Self Storage Manager will be able to receive
tenant payments much faster."
"By Integrating Vanguard's achXchange real time ACH service into Self Storage
Manager,
E-SoftSys customers will realize a minimum of $2.10 per transaction
savings on a $ 100 sale versus credit card billing" said Harry Johnson, Senior
VP Marketing, Vanguard Payment Systems.
