Every company has their own strategy for measuring performance. At State Collection Service, if it moves, we measure it. ACA International’s Professional Practices Management System, or PPMS, is the quality assurance program we have been using for more than a decade to ensure we are adhering to specific standards and continuously improving the level of service we provide to our clients. PPMS affects the behavior of everything we do and provides us with the tools to translate Service. Integrity. Results. into specific measures.

Since the beginning my career in the accounts receivable industry, I have been continuously impressed by State Collection Service and the emphasis the company places on quality assurance. In an age where consumers are exposed to so many choices, companies must uphold the highest quality and customer satisfaction standards to maintain a competitive edge. Clients want products to perform better, cost less and function properly. They want quality. Many companies struggle, however, to connect the dots to leverage their QA program. The key is to measure behaviors to impact key performance, enhance the customer experience, and help make better business decisions.

Our utilization of PPMS provides us with a framework for innovation and continuous improvement. The system is based on a documented, orderly and functional platform where every client concern is documented, corrective action is taken, and business practices are altered to prevent reoccurrence. The system provides a concise set of quantitative and qualitative data to paint a clear picture of the organization’s progress in achieving its mission and strategic goals.

As State Collection Service continues to experience growth, PPMS remains essential for tracking performance and navigating our way to success. I am so excited to be a part of the State Collection Service family and look forward to building “Partnerships for a Lifetime” with both our employees and clients.
