"Brown & Joseph is a great resource for PagePath's customer's, many of whom struggle with inadequate receivable management. The assistance of a professional collection firm can make a huge difference on small, difficult-to-collect accounts as well as large commercial delinquencies. By providing an easy to use receivable recovery system in our e-commerce service, we believe we can help our customers reduce their outstanding assets and make more money. PagePath's growing client base will find ClickPrint to be a natural addition," said Steve Ciesemier, Vice President of sales & Marketing at PagePath. "You begin to lose money on an account whenever payment is not received within net terms. As the account gets older, the ability to collect decreases and your losses from an inability to use the money increase. If, for example, you are operating at a 4% profit margin, $1,000 that cannot be collected requires $25,000 in additional sales to simply break even. Our unique system has achieved collection of 90% of claims less than 3 months past due." said Chris Cappuccilli, President of Brown & Joseph.
