JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - nvtip -- AutoQuotes, the technology leader in the Foodservice Equipment and Supplies industry, has partnered with Currency, a California-based FinTech company, to enable equipment dealers to streamline the payments and financing process for their customers within the AQ platform. Aligning the industry's most comprehensive product database and configure, price, quote (CPQ) software with Currency's advanced transaction and financing capabilities, AQ Pay allows customers to make payments easily from AQ quotes and invoices, simplifying the payments process, expediting transaction time, and helping dealers get paid more quickly. An upcoming phase will also include instant lease financing that will accelerate and simplify financing in the industry.

The new payment and financing technology is embedded directly onto AQ's quotes and invoices, completely digitizing the payment process, which was previously extremely fragmented. The new state-of-the-art functionality allows buyers to choose to instantly pay via credit, debit, or ACH Bank Transfer from anywhere, reducing the friction caused by traditional paper billing and invoicing.  AQ dealers can also take advantage of AQ Pay for online transactions in an e-commerce environment or in-store at point of sale, improving the quote-to-order process for dealers and their customers with one seamless platform.
