Client & Portfolio Management
Stop Managing Every Creditor in a Separate Spreadsheet
Every client spreadsheet is a process only one person understands. Nexum replaces them with client records, portals and statements.
Every client spreadsheet is a process only one person understands.
Summary
Per-client spreadsheets multiply effort, hide errors and create key-person risk.
Client records, approvals, portals and system-built statements cover most of their purposes.
Nexum retires client spreadsheets one purpose at a time.
Key takeaways
Inventory every client spreadsheet and what it does.
Move each purpose into the platform.
See Nexum's client tools in a demo.
How spreadsheets multiply
A weekly report format here, special settlement rules there, a remittance adjustment for another client. Soon there are dozens, each maintained by one person.
What they cost
- Time: hours every week rebuilding, updating and checking.
- Errors: copy-paste mistakes and formulas that break.
- Dependency: when the person who maintains them is out, things stop.
- Inconsistency: each client's numbers are calculated differently.
- Security: files emailed around with consumer data.
Inventory and classify
List every spreadsheet used to run client work. For each, note what it does:
- Reporting: status, collections, recovery.
- Rules: fees, settlement authority, special instructions.
- Finance: remittance and reconciliation.
- Intake: reformatting placement files.
- Tracking: disputes, documents, requests.
Move purposes into the platform
- Reporting → client portal dashboards and standard statements.
- Fees → client record fee percentages.
- Rules → approval workflows and documented rulebooks.
- Intake → standard templates and mapping, with review.
- Tracking → disputes, tasks and document requests on accounts.
- Remittance → calculated from posted payments and fees, reconciled daily.
Standardize the rest
Some client needs will remain unique. Standardize what you can, document the rest, and make sure at least two people understand each remaining process.
Retire deliberately
As each purpose is covered, retire the spreadsheet. Archive it, stop updating it and tell the client where their information now lives.
Measure it
- Hours per month on client spreadsheets.
- Number of active client spreadsheets.
- Client report corrections.
Move each purpose into Nexum
- Reporting → the Client Portal and HeartBeat Client Statements.
- Fees → client record fee percentages.
- Rules → + Task approvals plus documented rulebooks in File Sharing.
- Intake → standard templates and Import Center review.
- Tracking → disputes, tasks and document requests on accounts.
- Remittance → posted payments and fees, reconciled daily.
- Portfolio views → Back Office by client.
- Commissions → calculated automatically.
The bottom line
Each spreadsheet you retire is time back and risk removed. Nexum retires them. See one CRM, many creditor rulebooks.
