We help you develop tailored return strategies if the customer does not pay - and increase your return flows.

Debt Collection has many facets!

Secure entrepreneurial freedom

Despite smart risk management and a customer-friendly reminder process it is inevitable that some of the invoices will remain unpaid. The transfer to collection is the method of choice in this case to reduce bad debt losses, optimise recoveries and keep retail prices stable. After all, collection service providers return almost 90% of the outstanding claims independently into the economic cycle.

Consumer-oriented solutions and support during the collection process also improve the customer experience and prevent the loss of customers. This enables companies to save time and resources for the core business through intelligent debt collection.

Strategic partnership as a success factor

We optimise return flows and offers advice on more than just the core processes

As a process and financial expert, we work daily on making finance processes as convenient as possible – for you and your customers all around the globe. We are able to achieve this in the collection process with digital innovations, new developments, and customised processes. We combine personal contact and advice with agile and intelligent solutions. This means for your customers: Fair and constructive support in a difficult situation, digital customer experience and a clear range of information.
