The new strategic partnership enables Cilio’s installation services customers to seamlessly accept multi-channel payments directly through its CiO software.
MADISON, WIS. (PRWEB) AUGUST 11, 2022
Wind River Financial, an integrated payment processing, and services company based in Madison, Wisconsin is pleased to announce a strategic partnership with Brookfield, Wisconsin-based Cilio Technologies to power its payment integration.
The partnership enables Cilio to bring a seamless quoting, invoicing, and payment acceptance enhancement to its CiO (Customer Installations Online) software. It also enables users to manage and track all payment methods – including non-card payments such as cash and check. In addition to eliminating the need for duplicative data entry, the solution delivers a convenient payment experience for payers, resulting in faster job payment collection and increased cash flow.
“Cash flow is the lifeblood of any business,” stated Tyler Kattre, president of Wind River Financial. “We are elated to partner with Cilio to enable its CiO customers to expedite the collection of consumer payments across channels and make the entire experience simple and convenient, he added.
“We’re excited to deliver new capabilities and value to our clients, knowing Wind River will treat them right. Our clients have been asking for a fully integrated payment process, and we’re thrilled to provide it to them,” said David Brass, executive vice president of operations at Cilio Technologies. “Accepting payments in the same tool that manages the whole project makes the process much cleaner while reducing the number of systems a user has to use. It can be a risk to entrust a third party with the care of your customers. We have confidence that Wind River’s values, dedicated service, pricing integrity, and security focus will deliver the same high standard of customer care that Cilio delivers,” he continued.
“Values and standards are so essential,” agreed Kattre. “We have found the most successful partnerships are those in which the values and customer commitment of both partners are in complete alignment,” he added.
The new payment acceptance capability will be available to Cilio CiO customers beginning September 1, 2022.
