  • Keep Customer Information Secure

    We take care of securing your customer’s information, so you don’t have to. Customer information is tokenized and securely stored on our servers, so you can easily access customer information when you need it, without having to take on the security risk.

    Give customers access to a free trial before they commit to a paid plan. You can set the length of the trial and use the automatic email prompts to turn trial customers into paid customers once the free trial is up.

  • Manage Your Subscribers

    Adding and maintaining your customer information is easy. Use Helcim’s Customer Manager to upload your customer list, add customers manually, or choose customer profiles from your existing database.
