“We’ve been working with SMI since 2004. They handle bi-monthly window cleaning and semi-annual floor cleaning for us across our chain of 400+ stores. With that much volume, there are bound to be the occasional hiccups. SMI has always handled everything quickly and effectively for us…from correcting issues, to getting extra non-scheduled services completed for events, to implementing large-scale programs. The customer service is unmatched, and the communication is excellent. Not only do they keep me updated, but they call stores and keep them updated as well as work with the stores one-on-one with scheduling.”

– Facility Manager
“Virginia Window Washing has enjoyed receiving eChecks (and sending them) since you started the program. We have found when we use a certain printer (we use 2 printers) we are able to make a mobile deposit of the eCheck you send us from our office. We have found this system convenient and most useful. Talk about being fast, we do not even wait in lines at the banks! We thank you for using eCheck with us.”
