Our process
The Versuro Decision-Switch is activated and yields results within 90 days
Once activated, the adaptive flywheel ensures continuous optimisation
During this phase we run three low touch workstreams:
Listen: Hear what your customers have to say about their debt situations. We conduct primary research to map your customer journeys and identify the factors that influence their financial hardships, while pinpointing actionable behavioural triggers.
Learn: Understand how to address indebtedness through advanced analytics and modelling. We configure your prevention and restoration strategies to estimate reductions in credit losses, and integrate next-best interventions into your collections environment.
Lift: Help your customers regain their financial health through better credit interventions. We implement our customer engagement programs to operationalise prescribed interventions, either within your collections environment or as a fully outsourced model.
Need help with change management, training and guidance during operational deployment? We’ve got you. We’ll upskill your employees to engage with your customers more effectively based on a gap analysis relative to the ‘to be’ WeGuide, WeAssist, WeRestore and WeRecover programs.
