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.
