What is the best mobile payment processor?
To rephrase, what is the best technology where you can invoice people for your work and get paid conveniently from your smartphone without having to rely on expensive invoicing software, snail mail or other hassles?
My “Office” is a Ford F-150
The answer to these questions, though honest, may seem like a weaselly cop out — it depends.
If you are, say, a graphic designer who does the lion share of your work from a home office or one at a corporate park, then paying a lot of money for QuickBooks to generate invoices and having to pay premium just to get paid online is the standard option.
But what if your office is the cab of a Ford F-150? What if you are a contractor constantly on the go where you must rely on a mobile solution or smartphone to run your business?
Power’s Down, Now What?
Let’s take this hypothetical a little farther.
If you are a contractor or subcontractor doing hurricane cleanup work after a devastating storm, you need to be able to bill and collect payment when the power and other essential services are down.
Consider Hurricane Sally, the Category 2 storm that slammed the Florida panhandle last month. The storm dumped more than two feet of rain on Pensacola before it even it made landfall.
You are cleaning up after the storm. How do you bill and get paid when there is no power, internet or much of anything “modern” working?

We Pass the Crisis Test
Back to our contractor scenario. Can Converge stand up in a situation where Mother Nature has unleashed her fury?
If you are a contractor doing storm cleanup, you can:
- Design an invoicing template and customize with your company logo, brand colors and payment prior to the storm and devastation
- Send an invoice by email immediately or schedule for later to a customer after your crew cleans a yard of debris or repairs a roof
- Protect the transaction details with several layers of security like authentication requirements and encrypted payment pages, so both you and your customer are protected even in a crisis atmosphere
- You are notified on your device when the invoice is paid and can be funded as early as the next business day
Benefits of Mobile Billing and Invoicing
You arrive after the devastation. There is no power or running water. Most homeowners are desperate to get the debris cleaned up and don’t have the cash on hand to pay you up front.
With Converge, you can survey the job, submit an estimate, finish the work and allow them to pay you from an email sent to their phone, all from your smartphone without having to reply on snail mail or a computer equipped with the internet.
In the chaos of recovery, you can conduct business from your mobile device. It benefits your business and your customer with convenience and utility in a ground zero environment.
Whatever your job, being on the go is a reality for most of us. Converge makes running a business in this modern business environment convenient and easy.
