Thanks to Fintech, companies in the solar energy sector can currently count on a wide range of financial services, which can improve their performance and efficiency when managing their financial resources. Among these services, batch payment stands out, which offers several benefits: automating payroll and supplier payment processes, reducing the percentage of manual errors, and sending multiple payments with a single operation, among others.
However, several companies currently provide batch payment services; for this reason, it is essential to choose the right company. This way, we will have a quality service that suits the sector’s needs and does not negatively influence the company’s business operations. Next, we will learn some tips to consider when choosing a supplier for the batch payment service.
Experience of the company
The supplier must have several years of experience in the field; if its expertise is in companies in the energy sector, it will be taken as an additional point since it means that the supplier can offer solutions that adapt to the sector’s needs and challenges.
Reviewing user reviews or asking for references to evaluate the provider’s experience is advisable, as this will give us an idea of its platform and service quality. Regarding online reviews, it is crucial to look at the intermediate ratings, as these tend to be more objective (while the maximum or minimum ratings tend to be more emotional and less objective); on the other hand, regarding references, it is essential to check their authenticity.
Intuitive and easy-to-use platform
The provider’s platform must be intuitive and easy to use since it will only be valid for the platform to have many functions if it is easy to use or configure. The chosen platform must have a user-friendly interface that is easy to use and fits the company’s needs besides offering personalized support. An example is Pilsenga’s 24/7 dedicated manager service, which offers a unique and customized experience for each company since it provides a client’s native language service (currently available in English, Spanish, and Italian).
Assess adaptability
Evaluating the service provider’s adaptability is recommended, particularly for companies in the solar energy sector. This point is vital since the supplier must be able to provide a service that adapts to these companies’ needs, including regulations, logistics, standards, organizational culture, etc.
On the other hand, as the company grows, the supplier must have the capacity to adapt its services to such growth and needs that may arise. In this way, the company could project itself into the future, develop, acquire new commercial responsibilities, and guarantee its future payments.
Evaluating the security level
Companies in the solar energy sector need to have a level of security when managing or carrying out their financial transactions. For this reason, it is advisable to evaluate the security level of the provider’s platform before contracting the batch payment service. This evaluation can be carried out by verifying if the provider complies with the different security protocols established by the financial industry, in addition to complying with the various regulations and local laws, as this will demonstrate that the platform has specific security and quality parameters, which will benefit the company and users in general.
Flexibility
The provider must offer flexibility in its service, especially in the batch payment service; this may include the ability to customize the platform according to requirements, revise the terms of the agreement according to the specific needs of the company, or the option to restructure the service in the event of specific environmental changes.
Complementary services
It is advisable to evaluate whether the provider offers other complementary services, such as accounting packages, SEPA payments, wallets, payment processors, dedicated accounts, and multi-currency IBAN accounts, since these bring many advantages to the company’s financial management. For example, multi-currency IBAN accounts allow managing assets in different currencies, which is of utmost importance when scheduling payments for suppliers in a currency different from those in which the company operates.
