Who Buys & Uses Latitude Collections (legacy)

Latitude by Genesys for collectors by collectors

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

When it comes to collection systems, my mantra is simple. The best system out there is the one you are on. I developed that statement shortly after moving to Latitude by Genesys in 2008. I've been on half a dozen other collection systems in the past, and none of them compare to Latitude by Genesys. Their ancillary tools such as Exchange and Account Analysis make life easy. I've often said that Latitude's Account Analysis tool (AA) is the most powerful tool in the industry because it allows "non-programmer" people (like me) to build queries and reports in a literal matter of minutes, and once it is built, it stays built for future use and/or modification. I have a lot of great things to say about Latitude, but I won't ramble.

Pros

  • Report Building
  • Multiple account management for the same consumer
  • Very user friendly. Lot's of drop down's and point and click features.

Cons

  • In the past, their support has been slow. This has improved dramatically.
  • They don't take every one of my ideas and pump it into base code IMMEDIATELY!!

Most Important Features

  • Account Analysis
  • Exchange
  • Interface partners

Return on Investment

  • It has allowed us to better automate and streamline processes
  • It is easy to modify nearly on the fly.

Experience Firsthand the Power of Latitude by Genesys

Pros

  • Support - newly rebuilt from the ground up Q4 2020
  • Automation - ease of reducing overhead with staff
  • Workflow - account "cradle to grave" management
  • Customer Satisfaction - highly focused team on delivering the best experience to all customers
  • Customer Advisory Board - team made up of leading industry experts that are end users of the product to provide invaluable insight to the future direction of the product
  • Consulting Partners - various consulting partners, including my company, are engaged to assist with any client needs, development or temporary development staff augmentation. Many partners with 20+ years experience in the industry.

Cons

  • Compliance Functions - (currently being developed)
  • Omni Channel Communications - (currently being developed)

Return on Investment

  • Latitude by Genesys has allowed me to operate a small, nimble and highly efficient team of consultants.

I love it!

Pros

  • Payments plans management
  • Account analysis reports
  • The system is user friendly

Cons

  • Integrating Latitude with Microsoft Office would be good.
  • It would be good if the system allows the user to create more fields. The system does not allow users to create customs fields. Users only are allowed to use the fields that the system has. We use another platform that allows users to create additional fields to put more data in.

Return on Investment

  • It help us a lot to manage our day to day business.
  • It helps our users to produce invoices and handling payment plans in a very efficient way.

Usability

Other Software Used

Used to be good. Now not so much. Guess you do not want your customers.

Pros

  • The only thing done well, as it relates to Latitude, is the people at the support desk. They are amazing and work well with the tools they have. In my experience with Genesys, this is all that is done well.

Cons

  • Everywhere. You do not have one Latitude customer that is satisfied with the level of service received from Genesys. We thought Interactive Intelligence was bad. Genesys has taken it down to a lower level.
  • Genesys needs to commit to either selling Latitude to a company that wants to provide the upgrades and support it needs, or update its level of support on the product. The product is dying thanks to the negligence from Interactive Intelligence and Genesys.
