Publication number: 20170053345Abstract: A method, system, and computer-readable medium for managing and collecting receivables are disclosed. Such a method includes providing at least one pre-existing account with first account information, the first account information having first account party data and providing at least one new account, each new account comprising new account information, the new account information having new account party data. The method also includes determining whether the first account party data of the pre-existing account matches the new account party data of the at least one new account and if so, tying the at least one new account with the matching pre-existing account to create a tied account. The method further includes calculating a score for any unmatched new account and any tied account based on at least one financial parameter and applying one or more collection strategies.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 17, 2012Publication date: February 23, 2017Applicant: Ontario Systems, LLCInventors: Amy Kennedy, Tyler Roark, Brian Cutler, Julie Bell, Kenneth Couch, Benjamin Kolb

Publication number: 20070272423Abstract: A system, and a method of using a system, for controlled tool operation. The method includes providing a tool used in a force application such as a such torque application. The tool communicates with a controller which can communicate with the tool, and to a display in communication with the tool and the controller. The controller can be programmed with operational information about a tool operation. Information related to the operational information is displayed to a user during use. Service information including at least information about an amount of force applied during use is recorded and stored in the controller. Also disclosed is a computerized system for controlled tool operation which sends operational instructions to the tool before use and retrieves service information from the tool after use.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 26, 2007Publication date: November 29, 2007Applicant: SNAP-ON INCORPORATEDInventors: Brian Cutler, David Duvan, Gary Keefe, Denny Atkinson, David Costantino
