PDCflow Workflows
Sales/customer success teams who want to collect a signature and a payment on a sales order
Your challenge
- Your average sales orders are for high dollar amounts.
- Your sales orders are complex and need to have sign-off from your customer that the order is accurate.
- You need to collect a deposit or payment in full from customers at the time they commit to a sales order.
What's going wrong
- Staff needs to log into multiple software tools to complete both processes: collecting a signature on a contract and collecting a payment. This leaves room for error, slows down operations, and can erode customer trust and loyalty.
- Customers have to jump through hoops to complete both transactions – signature and payment – causing a frustrating experience with your business.
- Time is wasted on follow-up tasks if both required transactions are not completed at once. You could be delaying services or product fulfillment – and ultimately cash flow.

Who used it & real-life benefits
“Internally, my team loves PDCflow because it was two separate processes before. We were chasing a lot of things. That was highly inefficient."
