By using Ezidebit as its payment provider, Frenchville Childcare Centre streamlined its administration processes and dramatically cut time chasing payments from parents.

Centre Director Renee Clark said using the system freed up three hours a week in her time alone. “What used to take me all morning every Tuesday, now takes about five minutes from start to finish,” she said. “The process of uploading the tax invoice, saving it, then importing the report is very easy to follow.”

One of the realities of running a childcare centre is constantly chasing parents for fee payments, a job which Ms Clark said was very time consuming and affected the cash flow of the business. By making payments electronic, it not only reduces the need to have cash on the premises, but also allows Ms Clark to automatically reconcile payments quickly and efficiently, ensuring payments are received on time.

“This makes my job easier by not having to go through each customer every week, or having to go through the list of Current Account Balances.  Also, I can make changes to accounts and print off reports for parents about any of their account details live on the Ezidebit site—making the process quicker and more accessible.”

“I think this is a great process, I have very low debts and I am confident this amount is going to be next to nothing now that I can get to the parents to make changes to their accounts almost straight away!”
