What SimplyCOLLECT is
SimplyCOLLECT is a cloud service for small businesses managing client records and Direct Debit collections. It can collect joining or pro rata fees upfront, then process recurring monthly fees. The company's UK-based team follows up late payments and handles administration including reconciliation, cancellations and customer-information updates. Communication and reporting tools, plus a contact hub, keep business and client details organised. SimplyCOLLECT connects with customer websites, while its API lets third-party software submit customer and payment information through Customers, Bank Accounts, Mandates, Subscriptions and Payments endpoints. Listed users include gyms, nurseries, martial arts clubs, tradesmen, swimming schools, accountants and golf clubs. The maker says data is held on a 256-bit SSL-encrypted server and identifies the service as BACS approved, a BACS Facilities Management Provider and FCA registered. Fees vary by services; the managed service starts at 3% plus 15p per transaction, with no setup costs, no contract and the first month free.
