The No. 1 price generating software company helps business owners simplify sales process and increase cashflow

DALTON, Ga., Aug. 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The New Flat Rate, the No. 1 price generating software for home service contractors, has announced a partnership with OPTIMUS Financing by EGIA, the all-in-one financing and leasing platform for the home service industry, that will empower contractors with the ability to offer multiple financing options to their customers.

As part of the dealer-financing program, the program will enable participating dealers to select from multiple financing options that best align with their organizational structure and sales process.

"Funding projects can be burdensome for both the contractor and the customers, and it shouldn't be" said Danielle Putnam, president of The New Flat Rate.

With this partnership with OPTIMUS Financing, we are helping contractors by offering them a tool that will give them the ability to finance their customers right on the spot."

The New Flat Rate's software provides a variety of menus that instantly give prices for repairs and supplies the customer with multiple options to choose from. These menus help decrease the stress of selling services while also increasing profits for the contractor.

OPTIMUS Financing is the comfort industry's most comprehensive dealer-driven financing program, facilitating financing of over $750 million per year.
