In debt collection, every borrower conversation is unique and needs to be handled with utmost importance and care. A simple reminder call may trigger an instant repayment, a clarification conversation, or a support request. Managing these diverse debt collection-related interactions at scale across millions of borrowers, different loan products, varying delinquency stages, multiple languages, and unique repayment behaviors has always been complex.
This is where Swara – Credgenics’ GenAI voicebot for debt collections and DialNext – predictive dialer for collections are transforming the communication approach for debt recovery.
Together, they power an intelligent AI-powered contact center for debt collections that delivers a hybrid model where smarter automation handles professional calls at scale with human-like empathy, while human telecallers step in at the right moment to provide quick resolution for complex situations or escalations.
The Borrower’s Journey: From Voicebot to Telecaller
Let’s take a simple repayment reminder scenario.
Step 1: The Voicebot Makes the Call
A credit customer receives a call from Swara, the Credgenics AI voicebot for debt collections. The conversation is natural in tone, in the customer’s preferred language, personalized, and empathetic. Swara reminds the customer of a missed due date, the possible impact of delay, shares the outstanding amount, and even provides an instant UPI link for payment.
For many customers, this is enough—they understand the situation and complete the payment within minutes.
Step 2: A Query Arises
But sometimes, the customer has a question. Maybe they are facing a technical issue, want to confirm whether a partial payment is acceptable, or they are unsure about late fee calculations. These are queries where empathy, flexibility, and context are essential.
Here, Swara does something smart: it uses proprietary LLM, TTS, and STT models to interpret the query, uses voice analytics to analyze borrower sentiments, and provides the best solution based on pre-approved scenarios, customer engagement history on the platform. This can be a penalty waiver offer on late payments, a partial payment acceptance procedure, or even educating the borrower on the impact of late payments on their credit score.
Step 3: Escalation to DialNext
Let’s say the borrower is not satisfied with the solution shared or with the voicebot call and still wants to talk to a human telecaller. The query is instantly passed on to DialNext – the AI Predictive Dialer for collections. DialNext instantly connects the borrower to an available expert telecaller. But this isn’t just a blind transfer—the telecaller has full visibility of the borrower’s interaction history, including:
- What Swara voicebot has already discussed
- Payment reminders sent earlier via digital communications
- Borrower’s response patterns and preferences
Empowered with this context, the telecaller doesn’t need to further repeat the questions or waste more time. They step in directly into the borrower’s journey, build trust, and resolve the query faster.
Step 4: Resolution and Payment
The telecaller explains the repayment options, answers the query, and guides the borrower to complete the payment, often within the same call. The result? A smoother borrower experience and a higher likelihood of resolution.
