What Is Data Analytics?

We use Data analytics because it is the science of analyzing raw data in order to make conclusions about that information. Many of the techniques and processes of data analytics have been automated into mechanical processes and algorithms that work over raw data for human consumption.

Data analytics techniques can reveal trends and metrics that would otherwise be lost in the mass of information. This information can then be used to optimize processes to increase the overall efficiency of our business

The process involved in data analysis involves several different steps:

  1. The first step is to determine the data requirements or how the data is grouped. Data may be separated by age, demographic, income, or gender. Data values may be numerical or be divided by category.
  2. The second step in data analytics is the process of collecting it. This can be done through a variety of sources such as computers, online sources,and other external sources.
  3. Once the data is collected, it must be organized so it can be analyzed. Organization may take place on a spreadsheet or other form of software that can take statistical data.
  4. The data is then cleaned up before analysis. This means it is scrubbed and checked to ensure there is no duplication or error, and that it is not incomplete. This step helps correct any errors before it goes on to a data analyst to be analyzed.
Why Data Analytics Matters?

We use Data analytics because it help to enhance our performance and collection efficiency. Implementing it into the business model means we can help reduce costs by identifying more efficient ways of doing business.

We can also use data analytics to make better business decisions and help analyze customer trends and satisfaction, which can lead to new—and better service and collection.

Types Of Data Analytics

Data analytics is broken down into four basic types.

  1. Descriptive analytics describes what has happened over a given period of time.
  2. Diagnostic analytics focuses more on why something happened. This involves more diverse data inputs and a bit of hypothesizing.
  3. Predictive analytics moves to what is likely going to happen in the near term.
  4. Prescriptive analytics suggests a course of action.

What is a Face to Face Visit?

A face to face field agent visit (also known as a field call) involves us going to see the debtor at their home or place of employment to make demand for payment. Many debtors pay due to the face to face visit. We have licensed field call agents who will professionally visit your debtor during the allowed hours on weekdays and weekends.

Why use a Face to Face Visit?

Most debtors do not want a debt collector visiting their home or place of employment. This is because most of us don't like living with the unknown. By instructing us to effect a face to face visit we can advise the debtor and make the field visit. This field call action is very successful in getting you paid.

Face to face field agent visit can be a powerful debt collection action. We can perform field calls throughout Malaysia. We will make between 3-5 visits per address depending on whether the debtor is located in the city, regional or remote area. Our licensed field call agents can make these visits at varying times and days.
