Here to optimise your collections
Qualco’s purpose is to optimise our client’s collections and recoveries processes.
We achieve this through a unique combination of data & analytics, technology and practical experience. Our handpicked team design, develop and deliver solutions which are painstakingly created to add value in multiple ways. We aim to increase the overall collections our clients experience; reduce the administrative costs; and ensure the end customers are managed appropriately with the highest levels of customer service by our panel of outsourced partners.
Who we are
Success is down to our people. Most of our team has gained invaluable experience in the collections industry for many of the leading firms in this sector, and this combination is brought to bear through the services we offer. We understand the challenges involved in managing a panel of outsourced partners, whether scaling up the number of partners, or seeking to optimise the use of a large incumbent panel.
