अनावश्यक क्षेत्र दौरे और दोहरे संपर्क प्रयास (Unnecessary Field Visits and Duplicate Contact Attempts)
Definition
Debt collection agencies allocate borrower records to individual agents, who enter call dispositions into software based on interactions. However, multiple agents may be assigned overlapping borrower lists or similar names. Field agents mark visits in mobile apps without live synchronization to prevent other agents from attempting contact simultaneously. This causes: (1) Multiple field visits to same borrower within short timeframes; (2) Wasted travel costs (fuel, vehicle depreciation, per-visit allowances); (3) Borrower complaints about harassment (multiple visits); (4) Inefficient allocation of limited field force capacity.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: ₹50,000-2 lakhs annually per agency: estimated 5-15% of field visits are redundant; fuel cost ₹300-500/visit × redundant visits × months; field agent per-visit allowance ₹200-500 × redundant instances
- Frequency: Weekly/monthly during active collection cycles (minimum 6-month assignment period)
- Root Cause: Lack of real-time mobile app synchronization; manual call disposition entry without cross-borrower visibility; siloed agent workflows
