    Merchant e solutions has a truly awful admin website and is clunky to use. There are almost no options for customization. Bluesnap allows configuration to fit our needs and a much better customer service experience.

    RateHawk is much more user friendly. Because of Vinet America’s Customization options to tailor the platform to a specific agency’s needs, the process could require an agency to have their own IT staff to complete this process, which could leave smaller agencies at a loss with their services.

    • Time is saved in the process of keeping up with separate bills, bookings, and record keeping. This can mean the difference between closing a deal or losing it.
    • All costs are consolidated under one invoice and professionally recorded without paying your own staff or secretary salary to have this done.
