Intake Errors Are Costly

Most dispute inefficiency doesn’t start during investigation. It starts at intake. When disputes are categorized incorrectly or entered with missing information:

✕ Handle times increase ✕ Callbacks multiply ✕ Cases are reworked or reopened ✕ Escalations rise ✕ Teams lose confidence in the system

Intelligent Intake stops those problems before they ever reach investigation.

Guided Intake

Guided Intake That Gets It Right the First Time

Intelligent Intake uses guided intake forms to walk agents through the right questions in the right order — based on the dispute type, responses, and program rules.

  • Agents don’t guess
  • They don’t memorize policies
  • They follow a guided path that enforces accuracy
Dispute Type: Debit → Ask: Reg E questions
Merchandise not received → Ask: expected delivery date
No response yet → Route to investigation

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Intelligent Intake replace our agents’ judgment?

No. It guides agents through the right questions in the right order – it doesn’t make the final call. Agents can still override a suggestion; the system just prevents the common categorization mistakes that cause rework later.

Does this work across contact centers, dispute teams, and branches, or do we need separate tools?

One system covers all three. Each is a different entry point into the same guided intake logic, so a case started at a branch and a case started by a contact center agent both follow the same accurate path.

What happens to a case after intake – does someone have to manually move it into the case system?

No manual re-entry. As intake completes, the case is created in real time – no swivel-chair work between systems.

Can we customize the questions and logic to match our specific bank’s policies?

Yes – the branching logic is built around your program rules, not a fixed generic script, so the questions reflect your actual policies and case types.
