Mosey Levy, owner at Backstage AV with locations in New York and New Jersey, says:
“D-Tools new natively built-in payment system has been amazing for us! We’ve long used D-Tools for keeping track of project payment status, but now we are able to request a payment from a client and have them pay online without any hassle. We found that it’s been significantly easier for our clients to make payments this way, and we have fewer of our clients requesting to just send us a wire or a check. For us, having everything in the D-Tools’ system makes our lives easier. One less website to check… the more that we can do inside D-Tools, the better for us.”
