“Without strict receivables<br />

management we couldn’t have<br />

stayed in the market.”<br />

DailyCom is one of the fastest-growing newcomers to the<br />

Dutch telecom market. Its business concept is to offer<br />

lower prices than the competition, which in turn requires<br />

far-reaching cost controls. For this reason, DailyCom<br />

outsources as many processes as possible to partners.<br />

Since 2004 it has outsourced receivables management to<br />

<strong>Intrum</strong> <strong>Justitia</strong>.<br />

“As a low-price alternative in the telecom market, we<br />

have to act as a sales company,” says Raymond Schrama,<br />

President of DailyCom. “Other telecom providers devote<br />

95 percent of their energy to their organizations and<br />

managing personnel and business processes. Only fi ve<br />

percent is left over for marketing. We do the opposite.<br />

We outsource everything we can to partners.<br />

“In our industry, you can’t stay in business without strict<br />

credit management,” he continues. “Client fraud is one of<br />

the biggest risks. We couldn’t imagine entrusting our credit<br />

management to anyone other than a highly professional<br />

partner, and <strong>Intrum</strong> <strong>Justitia</strong> made our plans a reality.”<br />

it’s good to have a professional<br />

Yara Industrial is a major player in the Norwegian gas<br />

and chemicals market as well as a client of <strong>Intrum</strong> <strong>Justitia</strong><br />

since 1992. Maintaining tight control over tied-up capital<br />

is essential in the industry, and Yara Industrial carefully<br />

monitors how well <strong>Intrum</strong> <strong>Justitia</strong> succeeds in collecting<br />

its receivables.<br />

“A short time between the due date and collection<br />

actions is critical,” says Senior Credit Offi cer Bjørn Ø<br />

Andersen. “If we don’t have our documents in order, it’s<br />

hard for <strong>Intrum</strong> <strong>Justitia</strong> to do a good job. We in turn require<br />

that <strong>Intrum</strong> <strong>Justitia</strong> collect on a certain percentage of our<br />

claims each month.”<br />

Over the course of a year, Yara Industrial has approximately<br />

NOK 100 M in outstanding receivables, of which 15<br />

percent are overdue. This equates to some 3,500 collection<br />

cases a year.<br />

“<strong>Intrum</strong> <strong>Justitia</strong> is a well-known name in collections that<br />

carries weight, which is important to us,” says Bjørn Ø<br />

Andersen.<br />
