Attunely Models Enhance Revenue Recovery
Powered by de-identified consumer interaction behavior, Attunely’s machine learning platform prescribes the most effective outreach tactics through every phase of the servicing and delinquency life cycle. Attunely’s models are customized to enhance revenue recovery, reduce expenses, prevent customer churn, and identify the best time of day to reach a consumer.
Adds Attunely CEO Scott Ferris: “We understand our clients are operating in a difficult environment and our dynamic machine learning models can ease the friction between a financial institution and consumer.”
Attunely’s dynamic scoring models include:
Propensity to Pay Model
The Attunely propensity model estimates the likelihood of payment from each account, producing an overall probability score that changes dynamically in response to ongoing interactions between an organization and its consumers.
Liquidation Model
The Attunely liquidation model combines behavioral signals with a client’s historical transaction data to produce an expected value when recovering revenue. It is informed by billions of historical calls, letters, emails, and text messages, and dynamically refines an account-level score based on each interaction with the consumer.
Time of Day Model
Leveraging billions of de-identified historical call records, and combined with Attunely’s existing liquidation scoring model, it produces a dialer-ready call file that matches the highest-yielding accounts with their preferred time slots. This allows for more contacts using fewer call attempts, building on Attunely’s comprehensive suite of machine learning models.
Omnichannel Model
The Attunely Omnichannel score ranks each communication channel and identifies the most productive form of outreach on every account. Combined with the liquidation score, this strikes the optimal balance between immediate recovery, maximizing long-term value (LTV) recovery, and giving the consumer time to repay.
Settlement Optimization Model
Attunely’s Settlement models leverage de-identified historical collection data to estimate the likelihood, timing, and expected recovery value of contingent or debt portfolios. This enables recovery experts to calculate the best offer, whether that is a settlement, payment plan, or paid-in-full demand for every account.
