Real savings come from optimizing how you get paid, not just what you’re charged. At Sky Systemz, we help construction companies streamline payments, reduce fees by up to 50%, and improve your cash flow. When you optimize payments, you don’t just save money — you build a more profitable business. 

Why Does Payment Optimization Matter? 

The majority of construction companies focus on credit card processing rates, hoping to reduce a couple basis points. The industry standard is to focus on “rates” but the truth is 5 or 10 basis points will not move your bottom line. Improving how you get paid will.     

Our Mission with Pay Optimization 

We designed Sky Payments with three simple goals in mind: 

  • Make payments convenient and fast for both you and the customer - fast payments mean better cash flow and less time collecting invoices. 
  • Change how you think about payments - our system is designed to reduce your effective processing costs.
  • Change how your customers think about payments and direct them to cheaper methods.

How We Optimize Your Payments 
  • Convert existing card payments to pay by bank - when prioritizing pay by bank through Sky, you pay just 0.5%. 
  • Offer a cash discount option - helps to organically force optimization, for those who want it. 

Let’s Discuss What’s Really Costing You 

For instance, a mid-sized construction company is processing about $100,000 per month in customer payments. Most of those payments come through credit cards — easy and familiar, but they’re paying 2.9% to 3.5% in fees just to get paid.

That’s $3,000+ per month in lost revenue. Over $36,000 a year.

What does this lead to? Slower cash flow, more time chasing invoices, and a constant sense of friction around how money moves.

Trusted by Industry Leaders: Cut Your Payment Fees in Half

We aim to convert at least 50% of your existing card payments to pay by bank or cash discount to efficiently cut your rate in half. When we do that, we increase your profit margin by 1% — without any business disruptions. 

This approach is already trusted by companies like: 

  • Command Alkon
  • Walbec
  • Breckinridge Materials 
  • And more
