π§Ύ Case Study: Preventing Bad Checks for a Sales Company
Door-to-Door Sales | Risk Reduction | Custom Verification System
β The Challenge
A door-to-door sales company faced financial losses from bounced checks. Contractors were supposed to call a check clearing house to get approval codes.
πΉ Some entered fake codes when declined.
πΉ Managers had no way to verify codes at the time of check-in.
π οΈ The Solution
ESI created a custom call-in system:
π Contractors called our system, not the clearing house.
π It checked with the clearing house in real time.
β
Returned a valid calculated code or a decline.
π¨βπΌ Managers could instantly verify the code during check-in.
β The Results
π Major drop in bounced checks
πΌ Improved accountability from contractors
π° Reduced financial risk for the company
