Who is Lincolnton Marine?
Lincolnton Marine was established in 1975, making it the oldest dealership in the CSRA. They pride themselves in promises of unbeatable prices, tremendous selection, and service above all.
Lincolnton focuses on building repeat customers. To achieve that goal, they focus on building relationships with customers through top-notch staff and innovative technology.
Key Challenges
Lincolnton Marine had a few key challenges:
- Needed a way to do payments without employees writing down credit card numbers
- Wanted to streamline company to be more automated/computerized in service department
- Looking for a way to easily collect service payments on after-hours dropoffs and pickups
Solution
Kenect Text-to-Pay was initiated in order to address the key challenges at Lincolnton.
The service department would begin requesting payments via text and cut out unnecessary steps like chasing down payment information and writing down credit card numbers by hand.
Results
Since launching Text-to-Pay six months ago in April 2020, Lincolnton has run over $40,000 in service department transactions through text message payment requests.
Lincolnton Marine has been able to push forward their "service above all" mission by simplifying the payment process for it's customers and staff.
