Error-prone Manual Retail Payments
The Tuff Shed retail stores were using classic credit card terminals lacking the latest PCI compliance tools. Payment amounts needed to be manually entered into the terminal, then again into the ERP and CRM. This led to many errors. The payments were not easily integrated into the CRM or ERP systems, causing many headaches for the accounting team.

How Tuff Shed Reduces Rates and Bad Debt with Chargent
Automated Retail Payment Integration with Multiple Systems
Tuff Shed chose Chargent, Chargent Terminal and Salesforce CPQ, centralizing all custom configuration, quoting, and payment transactions on the Salesforce platform.
A customer’s initial deposit to start production is now sent to the terminal for credit card / smart phone payment, which updates into Salesforce. Customer’s progress payments prior to production beginning, a final payment after delivery and installation are also automated by Chargent inside Salesforce and logged into their ERP.
