In this case study, John Mason, Financial Director at Grolier, explains in his own words how he used Fraudscreen’s TeleCollect approach to powerful effect when the company took the strategic decision to close down operations.
Grolier’s mail order business was based on an instalment payment model, where customers were paying very low monthly amounts over extended time periods. In some cases, customers still had two years outstanding to clear their debts. Without taking action to accelerate payment the company would have been faced with writing off £3million from an outstanding receivables base of £5.4 million when operations ceased.
John explains that “the value of recovered funds increased by 93% compared to previous approaches taken.” He continues “I’m a complete convert to segmentation and have adopted and rolled out Fraudscreen’s TeleCollect approach right across the remainder of our debt portfolio.”
