Advantages
 |

|
 |
Easy to use
and learn
|
 |
Corporate
approach to arrears management eliminates multiple
debts spread across departments and provides a
consolidated view of arrears
|
 |
Cases are
assigned to Recovery Profiles that reflect their
circumstances and ensures that the most suitable
recovery approach is taken
|
 |
Case
Assignment to individual Case Officers allocates
responsibility
|
 |
The Integrated
Diary function allows all planned “follow up”
activities to be easily managed
|
 |
Recovery
strategies can be accurately monitored, reported and
refined, over time, to improve effectiveness
|
 |
Modules for
each specific debt type are available, (eg. Rents,
Sundry Debts, Housing Benefit Overpayments, etc) allowing the system
to be customised to deal with any organisations’
arrears recovery requirements
|
 |
Voluntary
client arrangements can be negotiated, recorded and
then monitored automatically, which substantially
reduces the time manual maintenance would require
|
 |
The Direct
Deductions module identifies eligible benefits cases
and maximises the level of direct deductions
received. This feature has already demonstrated
significant increases in the revenue collected and
the additional revenue from this approach can
normally more than cover the cost of the system
|
 |
The
Income/Expenditure assessment tool ensures that
voluntary debtor arrangements are as realistic as
possible, increasing the likelihood of cooperation
and improved collection rates
|
 |
Automated
document production, allows standard documents to
be issued quickly and efficiently, using Word
|
 |
External
agencies can be allowed remote access to the system
which ensures they have up to date information and
increases the efficiency of the overall process
|
 |
Cases passed
to external agencies can continue to be monitored in
respect of recovery achieved, allowing
effectiveness of external agencies to be gauged
independently
|
 |
Effective
Management Reporting by reports and graphs allows
the necessary management decisions to be taken to
improve the service to clients.
|
Best Value
 |
Significant reductions in the time
and effort required to administer each arrears case
can be achieved.
|
 |
Existing staff resources can utilise
their time in a more efficient and effective way to
provide better recovery results for the council.
|
Affordable
 |
The system is
available on either, the traditional license and
support fee basis, or the more easily budgeted fixed
implementation cost and monthly rental option, which
does not require a capital budget.

Non Technical Arrears
The accurate identification of Non
Technical arrears allows tenants to be advised of
their true arrears and for any recovery actions to
be based on that
Pro-Active Approach
Early identification of arrears
linked to a pro-active approach to contact the
tenant and provide advice and support can prevent
the escalation of arrears.
Take Greater Control
The system provides the dedicated
arrears case management and recovery facilities
which minimise the manual effort involved in
managing arrears cases allowing RSL staff to
take greater control of the arrears caseload
Advice and Support
The assessment of Income/Expenditure
provides the basis for both debt counselling and
also the negotiation of a realistic repayment
arrangement which the tenant may be able to adhere
to.
Progressive Recovery
The Recovery Profiles allow a staged
and progressive recovery approach to be defined
within the system which can be shown to follow the
stated policies and procedures.
