Special Needs of Animal Hospitals and Emergency Centers Targeted with New ExtendCredit.com Product Release
Provides needed capabilities that Animal Hospitals and Emergency Centers required for patient financing of emergency procedures.
ALISO VIEJO, Calif., April 25, 2011 -- ExtendCredit.com, an online lending software platform for creating and managing in-house customer financing plans for small and mid-sized businesses, today announced the latest version of its market leading patient financing software platform that provides new capabilities and flexibility to address diverse business environments.
Developed with veterinary hospitals and emergency centers in mind, this latest release offers a host of new merchant configuration options and functionality to tailor how ExtendCredit.com looks and operates in different business settings.
One of the key new capabilities for animal hospitals and emergency centers is the ability to create a new payment plan with estimated costs and payment terms, and later, once the pet’s procedure and recuperation are complete and all costs are finalized, go into the system and update the cost and loan terms.
"Our animal hospital clients really like the system, but need to be able to generate a signed promissory note with estimated costs prior to performing the emergency procedure. Later, once all the costs are finalized, they can then generate an updated promissory note with final costs and terms for the pet owner to sign,” said Bob Richardson, president and CEO of ExtendCredit.com. “Sometimes this process takes several days to complete so being able to store the temporary note and come back to it at a later date is important.
The system gives the animal hospital or emergency center the ability to create a new note and automatically places it into a pending status. A new screen is also provided to review and update all pending notes. Additionally, users that are in the process of creating a new note can save their partially completed work and finish it at a later time.
“These features are especially useful if the user is interrupted by other tasks or needs to go to lunch and wants to save the work for later in the day," Richardson added.
Larger animal hospitals and veterinary practices that require multiple levels of review and approval for in-house payment plans can optionally enable a workflow process that separates payment plan creation from approvals.
With this latest version, ExtendCredit.com offers more than
40 new merchant configuration options to tailor how the system looks and
operates for individual business environments.ExtendCredit.com support personnel perform the configuration process for
new clients as part of the training and set-up process. If an existing client needs to make a change
to their configuration, they just contact ExtendCredit.com Client Support for
assistance.
