AI-powered strategy boosts overdue balance collection by 11%

THE PROBLEM
Global accounts receivable management company wanted to optimize the collection of overdue balance from loyalty program members.
Around 25000 customers accrue a cumulative debt between 40-45 million USD in overdue payments every year.
The retailer’s receivables management partner wanted to adopt a data driven debtor contact strategy to increase collections without additional manpower costs.
THE SOLUTION
A proprietary self-learning, multi-modeling automatic predictive technology from FIndability.AI was used to assign a ‘Propensity to Pay’ score to each record in the debt portfolio.
The debt portfolio was divided into 7 ‘age buckets’ defined by the debt collection partner.
Follow-up strategy for collections was formulated based on ‘age’ of debt and payment propensity score.
THE SUCCESS
An overall increase of 11% was observed in retailer’s debt collection during the measurement period.
Collection partner’s fee revenue increased by 15%
There was additional manpower costs involved.
