Below is a short excerpt from SWBC’s latest e-book, How Technology Can Give Your Collections Operation a Boost!

One of the primary reasons why technology has become key to so many businesses is the fact that it allows employees to work faster, increasing the amount of work a single employee or team can accomplish, improving overall efficiency.

In the realm of collections, technology allows collectors to work through assignments faster by removing manual processes and replacing them with automation. For example, tracking of promises to pay, letter, and note generation can automatically be notated on the borrowers account, eliminating manual clicks, thereby increasing the collectors productivity and efficiency.

Technology also allows convenient integration of third-party products and services which assists a collector in their daily efforts within the users platform. Automated integration of these services in a single desktop reduces the need to use multiple systems to generate and notate collections activity, resulting in more streamlined operations, higher productivity, and efficiency. For instance, lets take a look at taking a payment over the phone perhaps one of the most beneficial actions a collector can take to remedy delinquency. The integration of a payment solution that enables the collector to seamlessly launch an application in their queue, while theyre on the phone with the borrower, is priceless in terms of efficiency and productivity. And providing that collector with multiple options for payment and automated notation continues to take productivity to another level.
