Many utility credit and collections treatment processes handle the majority of customers from a one-size-fits-all approach. When a customer meets certain criteria – usually based on age and balance of arrears – they receive a generic treatment in the form of a notice, an outbound call, or perhaps a service disconnection for non-payment. This approach doesn't treat customers based on their actual service needs, often resulting in customer despondence and the need for further action. Risk Response Treatment Decisioning uses account level data to automatically drive treatment decisions that consider each customer from a risk perspective, a program perspective (low income, senior, etc.), a preference perspective (language, channel, etc.) and a process perspective. This ensures customers are given a tailored message, all pertinent information, and are offered the services needed to manage their debt. Customer responsiveness is measured from the last interaction, helping mould the next message and service generated.
