Utilizing Sertifi, SAVOR can now collect event contracts and client payments 100 percent digitally. Sertifi has also enabled SAVOR to modernize and simplify their process of maintaining PCI compliance, so employees are no longer burdened with inefficient fax machines, paper storage methods, and paper shredders.

SAVOR… Chicago uses Sertifi Closing Pro+ for its eSignature and online payment technology. The solution has made business frictionless at Savor…Chicago, allowing the company to:

• Reduce the time spent on contract and payment execution by 50%
• Schedule automatic reminders to clients for eSignature and payment, allowing more time for sales teams to focus on revenue-generating tasks
• Digitizes methods of PCI compliance, adding an extra layer of security

The efficiency and security of Sertifi is celebrated by SAVOR employees and clients alike.

Rayva Myles, SAVOR… Chicago's Assistant Sales and Catering Director says, "In the past, a lot of our clients have had concerns about sending credit card information via fax. With Sertifi, they're confident their payment data is protected. Their information is encoded and encrypted, and no one is seeing it who shouldn't be seeing it."

SAVOR… Chicago sales and events team members now send all contracts and payment requests through Sertifi's easy-to-use web portal which is custom branded. Clients immediately receive a Savor-branded email enabling them to electronically sign the contract and submit payment details online.

In addition to a heightened level of security, with Sertifi's modern methods of PCI compliance, as well as increased efficiency, with Sertifi's digitization of the contract execution process- SAVOR employees now have more time to focus on client relationships.

Stephanie Dorsey, SAVOR… Chicago's Regional Director of Finance says, "Sertifi helps employees have seamless relationships with our clients. Automatic reminders reduce follow up time and decrease accounts receivable. This, in turn, increases the time sales teams have available for clients and customer service."
