We switched on essCert's credit card facility for key customer segments and gained immediate improvements in cash-flow and credit control, with related time and money savings for our accounts team. The introduction of credit cards plus the invoicing and VAT receipts options was positively received by most customers. The team at essCert were very responsive, nothing was too much trouble and we are delighted to now have these payment options – which are very flexible and easily controlled by us.Gordon Prentice, Finance & Administration Director - Aberdeen & Grampian Chamber of Commerce
