FAQs

Q: Does CMS Web Based Collection System allow me to configure processes based on my company’s business model?

A: CMS Web Based Collection System is highly configurable and supports a wide variety of business processes. CMS uses an approach of steps and actions. Steps are the processes that need to be followed in order to bring a case to closure. Actions are the things you need to do to implement the steps.

You develop steps and actions that are required in your company’s business model. Then assign the steps and actions to your cases. A case cannot be closed until the required actions and steps have been completed.

Web Based Collection System integrates quickly and easily with other CMS modules to create a highly tailored environment to suit your business needs.
