Vendor disclosure up front: I work at ASN Software — we build the dealer/finance management platform a lot of independent and BHPH stores run on.
We have an AMA running on our AI collector in the AI section, but I wanted to bring the BHPH/LHPH version of the conversation here, because your world is different: you carry the paper, so collections isn't a department — it's the business.
The specific problem we're working on: the 30/60/90 grind. Collectors spend all day contacting people who don't pick up, leaving voicemails nobody returns, and chasing broken promises. And every text, payment link, and "yes" reply is timestamped in a log — which matters when a regulator or an attorney asks what was actually said.
What our AI collector does in a BHPH/LHPH shop:
- Reaches out by text first, not calls — it gets read without interrupting someone's day.
- Holds a real conversation: answers basic questions, handles "I can't pay until Friday" without a script falling apart.
- When they're ready: sends a payment link, they reply "yes," the payment runs with their approval, and a receipt goes out immediately.
- Then offers to set up recurring payments, so the next ones just happen — with a courtesy reminder before each run.
- Your collectors only touch the exceptions.
No setup fees, no minimum — it's priced per text conversation, so a 50-account portfolio doesn't pay like a 500-account one.
One more thing on the platform side: Metro 2 credit bureau reporting is built into the DMS for both dealer and finance company portfolios — so your customers' on-time payments actually build their credit, which is one more reason for them to keep paying instead of ghosting.
Not here to pitch. I'm curious: in your shop, what breaks first — the 30-day contacts, the broken promises at 60, or the 90-day "we need to talk about the car" conversations? Ask me anything about how the AI handles those moments and I'll answer straight.
