EXECUTIVE INSIGHT
As our outreach efforts drive greater and greater conversion to digital payments, that data is fed back into our model so that it’ s continuously refined and machine learning continues to enhance conversion accuracy. We benchmark every single client, every single campaign and new suppliers added midyear. We analyse and leverage that data to ensure we’ re performing against what the model predicts. That in turn helps us continuously improve our supplier conversion model.
We share our performance with our partners. If adoption rates are lagging versus predictions, we analyse the data together to diagnose the root cause. If there’ s anything that’ s off, we need to discuss together why it’ s off. If a university has new suppliers coming in, we can determine where and how we can improve adoption. Is it the company? Is it us? Is it the supplier base? Is it process-related?. Those conversations are how we refine strategies for better outcomes, ensuring continual improvement and ongoing success. That’ s a big part of our culture.
