REALNET Payments & The Time is Now: Revolutionizing Auto Aftermarket with Smart Steering Column Clocks

Milwaukee, WI – November 8, 2023 – REALNET Payments LLC, a leading provider of secure and innovative payment solutions, today announced a strategic partnership to facilitate the sales of a groundbreaking new product poised to disrupt the automotive aftermarket: the Steering Column Clock. This isn’t your grandpa’s dash clock; this is a smart, connected device bringing convenience and a touch of modern tech to vehicles of all ages. REALNET Payments, located at 4900 W Brown Deer Rd, Milwaukee, WI, 53223-2422, and reachable at 215-387-6190, has a long history of enabling businesses to process payments quickly, securely, and reliably. They specialize in building custom payment gateways and integrating payment processing into a wide range of applications – and now, they're bringing that expertise to the car world. What's the Buzz About the Steering Column Clock? Let's be real – a lot of cars, even newer ones, are skimping on the little conveniences. Many lack a dedicated clock display readily visible to the driver, forcing them to glance at their phones (dangerous!) or rely on the car’s infotainment system which can be distracting. The Steering Column Clock solves this simple problem beautifully. But it's more than just a clock. This innovative device, designed to seamlessly integrate with existing steering column housings, offers a host of features drivers will love: Crystal Clear Time: A bright, easy-to-read LED display ensures the time is visible day or night, without being distracting. Universal Fit: Engineered to fit a vast majority of vehicle makes and models, from classic cars to modern SUVs. This isn’t a one-size-fits-a-few gimmick; it’s designed to work. Temperature Display: Know the temperature inside and outside your car at a glance. Perfect for adjusting the climate control and staying comfortable. Bluetooth Connectivity: This is where things get interesting. Pair your smartphone to access hands-free calling and music streaming, all controlled from the clock itself. No more fumbling with your phone while driving! Voice Assistant Integration: Compatible with Siri and Google Assistant, allowing you to make calls, send texts, and control your music with just your voice. USB Charging Port: Keep your phone juiced up on the go with the built-in USB charging port. Because let’s face it, everyone’s phone is always running low. Sleek, Minimalist Design: The clock is designed to blend seamlessly with your car's interior, adding a touch of modern sophistication without looking out of place. Easy Installation: Designed for DIYers and professionals alike, the clock installs easily into existing steering column housings with minimal modification. REALNET Payments Powers the Purchase Experience The team behind the Steering Column Clock knew they needed a robust and reliable payment processing solution to handle sales through their website and potentially through retail partners. That's where REALNET Payments came in. “We were looking for a partner who could handle everything from credit card processing to fraud prevention,” explains David Miller, a lead developer for the project. “REALNET Payments didn't just provide a gateway; they worked with us to customize the entire payment flow to fit our specific needs. They were incredibly responsive and helped us integrate everything seamlessly.” REALNET Payments’ expertise allows the Steering Column Clock team to: Accept a Wide Range of Payment Methods: Credit cards, debit cards, PayPal, and more. Ensure Secure Transactions: Protecting customer data with PCI DSS compliance and advanced fraud detection tools. Streamline the Checkout Process: Making it quick and easy for customers to complete their purchases. Manage Subscriptions (Future Feature): Planned future integrations will allow for potential subscription services related to the clock's features. Real-Time Reporting: Providing detailed sales data and analytics. Why This Matters to Drivers (and Auto Shops) The Steering Column Clock isn’t just a cool gadget; it addresses a genuine need for drivers who want to stay connected and informed while on the road. It’s a practical solution that enhances the driving experience. For auto shops and aftermarket retailers, the clock represents a new revenue stream and a chance to offer customers a unique and desirable product. It’s an easy upsell that can add significant value to any vehicle. "We see this as a game-changer for the auto aftermarket," says Sarah Chen, marketing director for the project. "It's a product that people will actually use and appreciate, and it's something that auto shops can confidently recommend to their customers."
