Collections

Improve recovery from overdue accounts. Collections teams need to decide which account needs attention, why, and which intervention is likely to help. This machine works from customer, loan, repayment, field visit, and branch context.

The operating path

From context to action.

The details below describe a possible configuration. Thresholds, access, policies, and measurement windows are set with your team.

01 · Understand

Connect the relevant context

  • Loan and repayment history
  • Promise-to-pay records
  • Field visit completion
  • Branch and risk segments
02 · Monitor

Find signals worth attention

  • Roll-forward rate rises
  • Promise to pay is broken
  • High-value overdue accounts have no completed visit
03 · Decide

Recommend a next action

  • Prioritize an account for contact
  • Assign a field officer or escalate to a branch manager
  • Review a change in contact or settlement strategy
Governed execution

People stay accountable for the decision.

These are example controls to configure with your team. Each proposal should carry its evidence, policy check, approver, decision, and outcome plan in an inspectable record.

Approval owner

A collections or branch operations owner approves account reassignment and customer-facing interventions.

Example policy boundary

Account contact and reassignment follow approved customer-treatment rules, role permissions, and capacity limits.

If rejected

No customer-facing workflow starts. The owner records the reason and can request a different intervention.

Outcome measurement

Track collection rate, promise-to-pay kept rate, and recovery per intervention against a baseline for the same account segment.
