ACCESS Receivables Management and InterProse Corporation Announce
Patent Filing for the New Customer Service Invention, ARIA™
Virtual Agent
TOWSON, Md.–(EMWNews)–ACCESS Receivables Management and InterProse Corporation are proud to
announce a joint patent filing for a new web-based invention that makes customer
service, debt collection and online payment faster and easier. The
patent was filed with the USPTO under the name “Methods
and Systems for Account Management and Virtual Agent Design and
Implementation.” The invention enables any
company with a web presence to collect delinquent accounts, make sales
and offer support in a fast, friendly manner. It incorporates the use of
an Avatar that converses with customers to quickly point them to a
solution based on a series of questions.
Experts estimate that most businesses have still not designed their
websites to be customer-centric. Statistics indicate that more than
70-percent of website visits end with the customer leaving because the
sites are confusing, difficult to navigate or don’t
offer payment options. But with ARIA™ Virtual
Agent, customers find a one-click solution.
“ARIA™ Virtual Agent
can incorporate bill presentment, purchase options, online
payment, delinquent account collection and lots more,”
says Tom Gillespie, President of ACCESS. “In
the debt collection business, consumers and businesses are tired of ‘press
1,’ ‘press 3,’
‘press 5,’ who
also don’t answer the phone or return calls. This ‘communication
gap’ has spawned a new industry in offshore
countries that offer cheaper cost per attempt. But it is our belief that
today’s consumer and small business owner
prefer to handle communication via the web.”
ARIA™ Virtual Agent is a multi-lingual
application built on WebAR, a robust SAAS/SOA/ASP Internet-based
multi-function accounts receivable management and collection system
platform from InterProse.
“Prior to ARIA, customers had to navigate a
site, searching for the right solution. ARIA’s
intelligent decisioning allows it to combine information from internal
and external databases to present customized offers based on
demographics, histories, and credit scores, and take payments with its
integrated payment engine,” explains Matthew
Hill of InterProse.
InterProse is PCI compliant and implements quarterly testing to ensure a
secure environment. Originally founded as a data integration company in
1996, InterProse transitioned into a preeminent provider of web-based
products and solutions for accounts receivable and debt management.
ACCESS Receivables Management, founded in 1999, is a certified diversity
(WBE) owned business and has consistently been honored as one of the
premiere diversity businesses in Maryland and across the country. ACCESS
was the first company in the debt collection industry to offer online
payment to debtors. ARIA™ Virtual Agent is an
extension of the founders’ philosophy to
leverage the web for debt collection. To view this new customer service
