| Virteo NV | VIRTEO’s platform covers the internal dunning and all external (amical/judicial) debt collection processes. With VIRTEO, creditors reduce costs, improve results and enforce CSR policy with external partners like lawyers and bailiffs. VIRTEO helps achieve economic goals (getting paid) with socially responsible practices (avoiding malpracticesand excessive costs to debtors).VIRTEO is an online platform allowing credit managers to work directly with lawyers, court bailiffs and recovery agencies in an efficient, transparent and compliant process. The debt collection industry rarely has a positive image. Customers lack tools to monitor and control the practices used by their external collection partners and the goal (recovering the unpaid invoice) is often in contradiction with a socially responsible approach. VIRTEO empowers creditors with a better process and results, and also provides better control over the practices used by their external partners. We provide the customer with the tools and insights to enforce and monitor their CSR policy, while improving results and reducing costs at the same time.
