Debit order collection for the cleaning industry

The cleaning industry in South Africa is a highly competitive and versatile industry that has shown immense growth in today's markets.

Let’s face it, we all need the attentive and effective cleaning services that the cleaning industry provides us with.

Individuals, small businesses and even larger enterprises need a clean environment to live and conduct business in, that is why cleaning services can be considered a core business service.

The cleaning industry prides itself in excellent service delivery which is not an easy task especially when you’re operating in a highly competitive field.

Things like debit order collection of payments and billing of clients usually is not a top priority as cleaning service providers are competing for business and trying to maintain excellent service levels.

Direct Debit has the ideal solution for the cleaning industry’s debit order collection and payment needs.

We provide EFT and NAEDO debit order collection systems to collect fees seamlessly and EFT credit that will make the headache of paying cleaning personnel something of the past.

We also tie in with an automated billing and invoicing system called SnapBill, that will automate debit order batch collections, conduct monthly invoicing and automate the entire debtors process, enabling you to focus on the excellent service that you provide your clients.

Direct Debit also provide other services including account holder verification, a credit checking system, SMS messaging to clients for promotion or reminders for payments as well as our electronic debit order mandate solution.

Private security industry debit order collection solutions

Direct Debit provides professional tailored debit order collection solutions for all types of security companies. The private security industry is known to be largest in South Africa.

This comes as no surprise to citizens living in our beautiful country as it has always been known for crime. Crime statistics unfortunately continue to rise and citizens are steering towards better protection through manned guarding, assets in transit, physical security , alarm monitoring and armed response only but to name a few.

The private security industry is performing basic security functions that once used to be the core functions provided by the police. This has led to the significant growth in the market where security companies are able to provide citizens with tailor-made solutions with a direct focus on their neighbourhoods and personal security needs.

The private security industry has also been a big contributor to the employment sector where private security training programmes and aspiring security guarding has come to be widespread in our risky society.

Along with the exponential growth and big contributions to our economy, the private security industry will never be able to do everything operationally by themselves. The industry has worrying operational factors like collection of monthly security fees from clients, administration costs, high banking fees and of course the large volumes of salary payments made to staff members.

We here at Direct Debit can make life a lot easier for one of the largest industries in our country. We are able to provide our NAEDO and EFT debit order collection system to collect monthly fees seamlessly, an EFT credit system to make timeous payments to guards and other staff and criminal record checking facilities to make sure that you employ only the best.

Our mission is to make every aspect of the debit order collection and debit order payment process as automated as possible, leaving more time to focus on your customer and their security needs.

Debit order collection for churches, charities, NGOs and non-profit organisations

Non-profit organisations have one goal in mind and that is to inspire more giving by providing pro-social tasks in their communities.

These organisations have been growing in South Africa as our communities are moving towards the ideal of doing things for the greater good and moving away from tendency to chase financial gain.

The no margin, no mission approach has become something of the past, as the mission alone is fulfilling enough for individuals partaking in non-profit organisations and how they maximise to serve their societies within South Africa.

Non-profit organisations include a wide range of organisations including churches, charities, NGOs, educational institutions, medical, law, scientific, arts and culture, home owners associations and unions only to name a few.

This extensive range of organisations can all benefit from Direct Debit by using our debit order collection facilities to collect their monthly membership fees and donations to better serve their communities as funding is readily available. Direct Debit increases cash-flow by making it easier to process collections and payments via debit order.

Direct Debit not only provides NAEDO and EFT debit order systems, but also provides other beneficial services like our electronic mandate solution and bulk SMS services, that will save non-profit organisations on hefty administration costs, improve accessibility to their members and provide them with a professional audit trail.

Debit order collection for the insurance industry

Insurance in today’s day and age has become a basic need, like food or water, a life without it would be unimaginable.

Life happens and unforeseen events occur daily, which is the reason why people feel the need to feel protected from the unknown. So, what do they do?

They wrap themselves in their safety blanket. Insurance provides them with the protection and guidance they would need from the “unknown”.

Picking the best debit order system

When picking a debit order system you need to first establish the scope of your debit order requirements. Do you wish to debit your clients in an ad-hoc/once-off manner or will you be debiting on a recurring manner and will this be for a set amount or varying amounts?

Debit Order System

The above factors may quickly determine which debit order system will be best suited for your business needs. You will also need to consider whether you will be making use of NAEDO tracked or EFT debit orders. Some debit order systems have the ability to “learn” when your clients will have funds available, especially when making use of NAEDO collections. This will allow you to debit regular paying clients using a more cost effective debit order solution, such as EFT, while increasing your success rate at the same time.
