DUMONT, NEW JERSEY (March 18, 2015) CompuDance, the preferred studio management software for over 20 years, in Dumont N.J., is continuing its partnership with Meritus Payment Solutions, an Optimal Payments company, adding new payment functionalities to its platform.

CompuDance offers customized payment solutions used by dance, gymnastics and music and fitness studios to manage administrative tasks such as class bookings. The new software is now more comprehensive and makes day-to-day operations much easier for users.

With the help of its merchant account partner, Optimal Payments, CompuDance has added: recurring payments, tokenization and onetime payment solutions, with an option to add a card reader for swipe payments. The new version of CompuDance also provides interactive calendar features. These additions have eliminated hours of manual payment posting, meaning CompuDance customers can now devote more time to teaching students and spend less time on payment administration.

Maureen Strehl, founder and president of CompuDance said, “By partnering with Optimal Payments, we are able to offer our clients a more efficient and user-friendly solution. We chose Optimal Payments for our merchant account partner because the company has been integral in helping us to build our business and in providing ongoing customer support. Optimal Payments has also assisted with our marketing and promotions initiatives.”

“We look forward to continuing our partnership with CompuDance and supporting them in their initiatives,” said Danny Chazonoff, chief operating officer, Optimal Payments. “Our solutions are designed to be full-service and save time and resources so that our clients can devote their energies to growing their businesses.” 

CompuDance provides training, support and customer service for the software packages to hundreds of schools throughout the United States and Canada. CompuDance offers its clients expertise in website design, studio management, business growth and human resource issues. CompuDance’s business has tripled since 2012 and projections for 2015 are that revenue will double in just one year.
