Project Overview

Collectius engaged Kanso Code to enhance their debt-collection operations through the development of a customized MS Dynamics CRM. The collaboration aimed to streamline processes, improve efficiency, and support the company's growth and expansion plans.

In 2022, the company increased its assets under management (AUM) to US$7.1 billion, servicing over 6.3 million customers across Singapore, Indonesia, Philippines, Malaysia, Thailand, India and Vietnam.

Business Objectives

Reduce Operational Costs: Streamline the debt collection process to lower operational expenses, particularly by reducing the time and resources needed for managing customer accounts.

Support Scalability: Design the CRM to accommodate future growth in customer volume and geographic expansion, ensuring it remains effective as the business scales.

Improve Product Requierments Process: Establish a structured requirements-gathering and prioritization process to manage input from multiple stakeholders and offices.

“They not only provide you with experienced engineers and developers and give you in-depth analysis of your current business problems, they also help you think of future expansion needs.”

Solution Provided

  • Software Development Consulting: 4 years engagement
  • Agile Process Consulting: 6 weeks
  • Remote Off-shore Team: 5 software engineers

Phase 1: Off-shore Team Composition

In the initial phase, we conducted an in-depth evaluation of the existing architecture to identify critical areas that needed enhancement. We appointed a Lead MS Dynamics Engineer to spearhead the technical analysis and to establish the groundwork for the CRM system improvements.

This phase focused on understanding the specific requirements and challenges faced by Collectius to align our development strategies with their business goals.

Understanding what are technology required, team composition from the in-house side and off-shore helped to compile a feasable hiring strategy.

Without clear technology overview and team analysis it is impossible to build long lasting Off-shore team, because progress is depends on the parties synergy.

Phase 2: Team Setup

During this phase, we assembled a remote off-shore team consisting of highly skilled software engineers, including experts in QA, SRE (Site Reliability Engineering), and MS Dynamics. This team was tasked with implementing the CRM enhancements and ensuring system stability and scalability.
