Patent number: 9088654Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to a system, method, or computer program product for providing a unified representation of all customer relationships within an entity. This representation focuses on customer products in arrears that are to be recovered. The invention requires disposition input from the system and the representative immediately after a customer communication. This way, the invention aids in providing an overarching view of all customer relationships to a representative. The automatic information regarding the communication includes the date, time of day, duration, and the like associated with the communication.
