Australia?s Largest Collection Company Chooses Castel

Beverly, Mass. – Castel, Inc ., a leading supplier of predictive dialer solutions, today announced that Baycorp, the largest collection company in Australia and New Zealand, has chosen Castel Connects® to increase the ways in which it contacts debtors and increase the volume of contact.

Geoff Harper, Baycorp’s CEO, said that “business growth, the need to deliver directly to our clients a full suite of collection and debtor contact services and most importantly the ever existing challenge to lift the efficiency and effectiveness of Baycorp’s major resources – people and time – drove Baycorp to a technology upgrade. Castel Connects ticked all the boxes for Baycorp.”

Castel’s solution delivers all the functions Baycorp required, beating out one of the industry’s fiercest competitors in customer interaction management technology. “They thoroughly understand our business; how to help us stay profitable; and they operate based upon best practices so the decision was clear, even though there is a company that provides similar technology with a local presence here in Australia,” said Harper. “We will now be able to extend the business day by using Castel’s technology and, on a more global level, Castel’s solution will allow us to sell to new markets and expand into other countries,” he said.

Baycorp bought Castel’s entire solution including Castel Connects®, a patented customer interaction management system, that provides predictive dialing and other methods of outbound dialing, inbound call distribution, and full call blending; Intelligent Message Delivery™ (IMD) an integrated automated messaging system with text-to-speech capabilities for message customization, which includes multiple levels of authentication; C4™ a performance dashboard, which provides a graphical view into the health of a company’s business operation and allows the user to drill down to the desired level of detail; and Digital Voice Recording (DVR),which allows the user to record and archive all agent activities.

Baycorp also plans to utilize Castel’s new technology, which will allow the company to connect with debtors via text, emails and phone before the debt collectors are sent out.

“We are pleased to provide a solution in support of Baycorp’s growth and look forward to working with them to help ensure their continued success,” said Castel’s President and CEO Nick Kimball.
