Arum approved stamp

CGI Credit Studio for collections is an ‘Arum Approved System’

Arum Global’s certification validates that our solution meets global collections and recoveries requirements for robust functionality, modern technology, and client-ready implementation.

Our approach to AI in collections is practical, governed, and measurable. Through controlled phased rollouts, we help you begin with lower-risk, AI-generated call summaries, expand to contextual assistance and real-time guidance, and then progress to AI-enabled digital interactions when your organization is ready. Key attributes of our AI-enabled collections capabilities include:

  • Embedded, not bolted-on AI, with transparency into how AI informs strategies, decisions, and workflows
  • Strategy-aware intelligence that supports prioritization, channel selection, and treatment paths, not just interaction-level assistance
  • Grounded in real-life collections work, including day-to-day collector tasks and workflows, rather than generic AI use cases
  • Designed for real-world adoption, reducing the effort, risk, and disruption of moving from AI pilots to day-to-day operations
  • Built for both collectors and customers, unifying agent tools and self-service experiences in a single platform
  • Aligned with governance and risk frameworks, with clear human decision points and auditable, reviewable outputs

Call Summarization


 

Call summarization

Turn each collections call into clear, structured notes—automatically. Call Summarization uses AI to generate call summaries, key outcomes, and next steps to reduce after-call work and support quality assurance and coaching. Typical impact (industry benchmarks): up to 30% reduction in after-call work and a 1+ minute reduction in overall call time.

 

Ask Data


 

Data collection

Cleo (available soon) enables collectors to ask natural-language questions about accounts, policies, and procedures, receiving relevant guidance in seconds, without breaking their workflow. Typical impact (industry benchmarks): up to 20% improvement in agent productivity by speeding access to product, policy and training information.

 

Agent Assist


 

Agent assistant

Agent Assist (available soon) provides AI-assisted real-time prompts and next-best action guidance to support disclosures, hardship options, objections, and payment plan discussions—without taking actions on the collector’s behalf. Typical impact (industry benchmarks): 10%-20% improvement in promise-to-pay conversion and up to 20% reduction in agent attrition.

CGI Credit Studio for collections applies AI in a way that is measurable, responsible and aligned with the realities of U.S. collections operations. Our approach to AI in collections is built for phased adoption—beginning with lower-risk, assistive use cases and expanding over time as organizations build confidence.

Key attributes of our AI-enabled collections capabilities include:

  • Embedded, not bolted-on AI, configured within the collections platform where strategies, workflows and controls already live
  • Collections-specific intelligence, grounded in real collector workflows and day-to-day operational needs
  • Designed to align with governance and risk expectations, with defined human decision points and outputs that can be reviewed, audited and documented for compliance
  • Strategy-aware decision support, extending beyond individual interactions to prioritization, channel selection and treatment paths
  • Supports both collectors and customers, bringing AI-assisted agent tools and digital self-service together within the same collections platform
  • Designed for real-world adoption, reducing the risk and disruption of moving from AI pilots to production use

CGI Credit Studio for collections offers a growing set of AI copilot capabilities that support collectors before, during and after customer interactions—without taking actions on their behalf.
