Case Study
Advantis: Transforming debt collection with automated payments

As a leading debt collection and credit management agency, Advantis was spending too much agent time on basic tasks like taking payments and answering simple queries. By implementing MaxContact’s IVR, auto-payments, and webchat solutions, Advantis freed up their agents to focus on more valuable customer conversations and negotiations.

Advantis is a leading debt collection and credit management agency employing around 190 collection agents and 60 backroom staff. The business works with customers to create realistic and affordable repayment plans, allowing client brands to confidently outsource debt collection to a trusted, reliable and always compliant third party provider.

Advantis’ sympathetic, customer-focused approach is as much about rehabilitating customer accounts as collecting money, prioritising both debt recovery and the preservation of customer goodwill. It’s also very much based on data collection and analysis, giving clients valuable insight that leads to better debt recovery outcomes in future.

The company was founded on telecoms and utility company debt and this is still the core of the business. But current growth is focused on financial services, with Advantis now fully accredited to offer debt collection and credit management solutions to this heavily regulated sector.

We spoke to Advantis’ IT director Brian Roscoe about the company’s growing ambitions and increasingly sophisticated communications requirements.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Frequently asked questions ordered by popularity. Remember that if the visitor has not committed to the call to action, they may still have questions (doubts) that can be answered.

Remove Channel Boundaries and Treat Every Interaction as One Journey

Enhanced Omnichannel

When digital and voice channels operate independently, teams lose context. Enhanced Omnichannel focuses on breaking down the separation between channels, so actions taken in one place can influence outcomes everywhere else. This improves routing decisions, reduces duplicated effort, and gives agents a clearer view of the full customer journey.

The work centres on unifying new and existing capabilities around a single omnichannel architecture, with workflow and AI at the core. Voice and digital interactions are no longer treated in isolation - dispositions, attempt counts and outcomes can be shared across channels, and agents can handle digital and outbound voice concurrently.

Route Digital Interactions to the Right Outcome First Time

Digital Interaction Routing and Response

Digital interactions often wait in queues before anyone knows what they’re about - leading to slow responses and unnecessary hand-offs. Digital Interaction Routing and Response helps teams evaluate digital contacts as soon as they arrive, improving speed, accuracy and customer experience.

Simple queries can be resolved immediately, while more complex ones reach the right agent first time. As digital messages arrive - including email, SMS and messaging channels - workflows automatically assess intent. Straightforward enquiries can be handled with automated AI responses, while others are intelligently routed into the most appropriate queue based on context and need.

This reduces handling time, prevents mis-routing, and brings the same intelligence to digital channels that teams expect from voice.

Support Agents While the Conversation Is Happening

Real-Time Agent Assist

Post-call feedback comes too late to change outcomes. Real-time AI assistance helps agents do the right thing in the moment, improving accuracy, confidence and compliance. Handling time drops and customer experience improves - especially in complex or regulated scenarios. The feature surfaces live guidance, disclosures, next-best actions and knowledge based on real-time intent and context.

Extend Automation Across Every Digital Channel Customers Use

Cross-Channel AI Agents

Customers don’t always stick to one channel - and automation that only works in silos quickly breaks down. Cross-Channel AI Agents extend AI handling beyond voice and web chat, helping teams engage consistently across SMS, WhatsApp, Meta and email, even when conversations are asynchronous. This reduces missed messages, improves response times, and ensures customers get a coherent experience wherever they continue the conversation.

This capability expands existing AI Agents to operate across digital channels, allowing conversations to pause and resume naturally while maintaining context. AI Agents can handle clearly defined interactions end-to-end where appropriate, or pass conversations to humans with full history when needed, ensuring continuity across voice and digital touchpoints.

Better Ways to Surface Insight Leaders Can Act On

New Look Dashboards (Discovery)

Leaders often struggle to turn dashboards into decisions, spending too much time interpreting data instead of acting on it. New Look Dashboards is focused on exploring how insight can be made clearer, more intuitive and easier to navigate, so performance issues and trends are easier to spot without deep analysis. The goal is to reduce cognitive load and make every day insight more usable for operational decision-making.

This initiative is currently in discovery and design, testing different approaches to layout, visualisation and interaction to understand what genuinely helps users find and act on insight faster. This work will inform future dashboard improvements, ensuring any changes are grounded in real user needs and measurable value.

Make Dashboards Easier to Find, Share & Manage

Enhanced Dashboard Management

 

When dashboards are hard to publish, share or find, insight gets buried and teams lose confidence in what they’re seeing. Enhanced Dashboard Management simplifies how dashboards are published, accessed and organised, so leaders can focus on using insight - not managing software. Teams spend less time duplicating dashboards or working around permissions, and more time acting on a single, trusted view of performance.

This update removes the dependency on permission groups as a workaround for dashboard sharing, allowing dashboards to be published directly to one or many permission groups with clear access control. It also eliminates the artificial split between dashboards and wallboards, reducing duplication and confusion. New navigation and folder-based organisation make dashboards easier to find, manage and maintain day to day - aligned to user expectations and the platform’s long-term permissions model.
