Recordent, India’s pioneering credit and payment reporting platform, announces the enhancement of its payment reminder notifications feature through the globally used messaging platform WhatsApp as an additional medium apart from the existing ones like E-Mail, SMS and IVR. This innovative addition is custom-tailored to enhance engagement and uplift collection rates, specifically benefiting SMEs and MSMEs by offering a streamlined approach to managing their financial responsibilities.
For small and medium enterprises (SMEs), timely payments are crucial to maintain operational balance. Any delay in payments can disrupt their cash flow, impacting day-to-day operations, inventory management, and growth opportunities. This disruption often extends to their ability to pay vendors or employees promptly, affecting overall business stability. Hence, implementing a reliable and efficient payment reminder system like WhatsApp becomes indispensable. It ensures that SMEs can maintain a steady cash flow by promptly reminding clients of pending payments, thereby sustaining their operations smoothly.
The integration of WhatsApp for payment reminders brings multiple advantages for business operations & efficiency. Through personalized messages, individual client needs are met, ensuring prompt payments. This new feature of notifications via WhatsApp expedites reminders, ensuring timely notifications are read within minutes, thereby significantly reducing delays and enhancing overall system efficiency. This strategic integration perfectly aligns with Recordent’s commitment to empowering its clients, simultaneously benefitting the organization.
Complementing the WhatsApp payment reminder service, Recordent has recently introduced Collection notices from Recordent Credit Registry, a non-banking payment reporting platform. These collection notices are aimed at creating a sense of urgency and accountability by accounting for the communication trail and ensuring accessibility to payment history. This feature is designed to expedite the resolution of default payments without negatively impacting the buyer-seller relationship.
