A big benefit of using DA-Desk is how we run a series of checks on 100% of your PDAs and FDAs.
We spend a lot of effort screening, checking and validating your disbursement accounts – so you don’t have to.
This smart screening is achieved using a combination of technology and people expertise, including:
From agent appointment, to PDA and FDA checking, and payments – let us do the work for you.
Our smart screening does the tedious – but vital – job of checking all of your PDA and FDAs for errors, issues and cost-saving opportunities.
It is a digitalised process, combining IT tools, automation and human experts.
We do all these checks quickly, so there is a fast turnaround of DAs.
After checks, screening and validation, all errors and issues are picked up by our team at DA-Desk, and we investigate and take them up directly with your agent to resolve.
As a result of all this, you save money.
We have been doing this for many years, so we have become pretty good at this process now.
The checks are continually evolving and improving thanks to ongoing, regular feedback from our customers (and by doing root cause analysis on each error aiming to implement preventative measures).
Checking over 1,800 rules
We find issues in many FDAs and PDAs, and we investigate them all for you.
Many of these initial flags are then found to be valid, with justification given.
However, reductions/savings are secured in 4% of FDAs and 11% of PDAs.
