Experian Launches New Product Suite to Improve B2B Collection Efforts
Business Collections Suite(SM) helps organizations reduce bad debt and enhance customer relationships
COSTA MESA, Calif., -- Experian®, the global information services company, today announced the launch of a new product suite for improving collections in the business-to-business marketplace. Business Collections Suite(SM) helps organizations with commercial accounts better understand their customers' payment behavior and provides them with actionable intelligence to help reduce potential losses.
"In today's economy, business-to-business lenders and suppliers are focusing more of their efforts on delinquent payment customers and debt collection," said Allen Anderson, president, Experian's Business Information Services. "We designed Business Collections Suite as a low-cost way to provide our clients with the resources they need to improve customer relationships and reduce bad debt."
Debtor contact information for businesses can be difficult to locate. In fact, an Experian study found that as many as 20 percent of the addresses creditors have for debtors are incorrect. With Business Collections Suite, organizations can perform detailed research using Experian's rich BizSource(SM) database of commercial accounts to find alternate contact information and gain actionable insights into their payment behavior. The new product suite also provides clients with a simple way to examine the credit history of their delinquent customers in order to set an appropriate course of action for debt recovery.
Business Collections Suite allows users to set up and manage letter campaigns to promote payment by debtors easily. From identifying delinquent accounts to mailing notices, the service notifies commercial customers of their current debt obligations and the effect those obligations will have on their business credit. The system also helps with campaign management by providing tracking and confirmation that the letters were delivered to their intended destinations.
