Relyant Retail live with TRIAD Marketing Communications

Johannesburg, 04 Jun 2003

Relyant Retail Limited, one of SA`s major furniture retailers, has implemented TRIAD Marketing Communications, which is a first for the South African furniture industry.

TRIAD, from Fair, Isaac and Company, is the world`s leading account management system and PIC Solutions was selected by Relyant Retail to assist with the implementation of this milestone project.

Ten South African consumer credit grantors now utilise the TRIAD system, which provides sophisticated risk management and credit marketing functionality, including modules for behaviour scoring and Champion-Challenger strategy testing.

With the impressive results achieved by over 150 TRIAD users worldwide, Relyant was keen to realise the major benefits improved credit marketing strategies will bring. PIC Solutions` personnel were retained to work closely with the Relyant credit risk and marketing teams to assist with a wide range of aspects of the implementation.

This implementation of TRIAD Marketing Communications means that Relyant will now be empowered to make strategic decisions on marketing, credit facilities and collections on a one-to-one customer basis.

Paul Yon, Group Credit Executive at Relyant Retail Limited, states: "We have enjoyed a close working relationship with PIC Solutions for a number of years and their specialists have worked closely with our credit risk teams to design, test and implement account management strategies in our TRIAD system which went live last year. This relationship has now been expanded to include their participation in this TRIAD Marketing Communications project, which we are proud to say is a first for our industry in Africa."

Len Waldeck, Group Credit Director of Relyant Retail Limited, adds: "We look forward to working with PIC Solutions in the future to ensure that the results from this major investment in credit marketing technology go from strength to strength."

Mike Crawley, Director of Software Services at PIC Solutions, adds: "This project builds upon our successful ongoing relationship with Relyant and we are proud to be part of such a significant first for the African furniture industry. Our risk management consulting team will continue to work closely with Relyant, to ensure that the payback from this significant investment in leading-edge marketing systems is maximised, in terms of additional sales growth, lower delinquency and improved profitability. PIC Solutions personnel have now been involved in the successful implementation of every TRIAD system in SA, as well as implementations across Europe, North America and the Middle East."
