ServiceM8 gives tradies a boost with MYOB

If you’re a trade contractor or a service technician running your own business, regardless of industry, flexibility in service delivery is critical for your business.

Thankfully the rise in specialist technology to assist your business operations means you can now deliver customer-friendly solutions on-site, and with a minimum of fuss.

By using MYOB’s integration with ServiceM8, you can harness the power of artificial intelligence while enjoying the time-saving benefits of being able to take contactless payments on site.

Also, this optimises your customer service, cashflow and invoicing quickly and painlessly.

Tap to pay and reap the rewards

With Tap to Pay on iPhone, trade contractors and service technicians can now accept in-person, contactless payments with only an iPhone and the ServiceM8 app.

No extra terminals or hardware is required when using contactless debit and credit cards, ApplePay and other digital wallets.

‍“Tap to Pay on iPhone is huge for tradies and service contractors. Our sector will greatly benefit from this technology — being able to take payments on the spot, anywhere, will transform every contractor’s cashflow and absolutely delight their clients,” says ServiceM8 CEO, Ben Ford.

Consequently, using Tap to Pay on iPhone, contractors can now finalise an invoice on site with the ServiceM8 app, and simply ask their client to hold their contactless card or digital wallet near their iPhone to securely process the payment.

Tap to Pay supports Apple Pay on iPhone or Apple Watch, contactless debit and credit cards, and other digital wallets that support contactless transactions.

Additionally, processing is powered by Stripe, a world-leading payment service provider.
