The Complete Field Collection Workflow
One system, one flow — from the moment a borrower goes overdue to the moment cash lands in your bank account. Built specifically for NBFC, MFI, and recovery agency operations.
Assign Accounts
Overdue borrowers auto-assigned to field agents by area / pincode / DPD bucket / branch. Supervisor can override or reassign.
Plan Route
Agent sees their day's allocated visits with borrower name, address, outstanding, DPD, last interaction, and next action.
Visit & Verify
On arrival, agent captures GPS location + timestamp + visit outcome. Auditable proof for RBI compliance.
Capture Outcome
Collected in full, partial payment, PTP for later date, refused, or not-home — each with structured follow-up.
Collect + Receipt
Cash or UPI/QR/link collection with instant digital receipt sent to borrower on WhatsApp.
Sync + Reconcile
Payment flows back to central ledger. Cash-in-transit vs cash-deposited tracked per agent.
Field Collections in Low-Connectivity Areas
MFI and rural NBFC field collection happens where mobile data drops in and out through the day. FastFee is designed for exactly that reality — agent workflows are structured, not chat-based, so a slow connection doesn't stall a collection round.
How the Rural / MFI Workflow Runs
- Morning briefing: Agent receives the day's assigned borrower list on their mobile before heading out — customer names, addresses, outstanding amounts, DPD bucket, prior interaction notes.
- Route / area sequence: Agent works the route in the sequence that makes sense for their village or ward.
- On-site outcome capture: At each borrower, the outcome is logged — collected / partial / PTP / refused / not-home — along with the amount and mode.
- GPS + timestamp on each visit: Auditable proof of visit for RBI recovery-agent compliance and for internal supervisor review.
- Payment collection: Cash (physical receipt) or UPI QR (instant confirmation). If the borrower can't pay now, PTP with agreed date is captured.
- Sync when connectivity returns: Data pushed to the central dashboard when the phone reconnects to the network. Supervisor sees real-time collection status once data is in.
- End-of-day reconciliation: Cash-in-transit per agent vs cash-deposited at branch/bank. Any variance is visible to the supervisor immediately.
Specific offline-first behaviour — local storage extent, sync intervals, conflict resolution rules — depends on deployment. If your team operates in genuinely no-network regions for multiple hours or days at a time, please raise this specifically during the demo so the requirement can be scoped correctly.
This is the workflow FastFee runs for microfinance loan collection, rural NBFC collections, cooperative-society field collection, and recovery agency operations in Tier 2/3/4 India.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a field collection app for NBFCs?
A field collection app is software used by NBFC and MFI collection agents on the ground: it assigns overdue borrower accounts to specific agents, records visits with GPS location, captures promise-to-pay commitments, processes cash or UPI payments, generates digital receipts, and syncs everything back to the central ledger for reconciliation. FastFee is a field collection app designed for Indian NBFCs, MFIs, and recovery agencies.
Does FastFee support offline / low-connectivity field collection?
FastFee is built for real Indian field conditions where connectivity varies. Field agents can collect payments, capture receipts, and log PTP commitments; the data syncs back to the central dashboard when connectivity is available. Specific offline-first behaviour depends on your deployment configuration — please confirm exact offline capability during the demo based on your rural coverage requirements.
How does GPS verification work in FastFee field collection?
When a field agent visits a borrower to collect or update status, FastFee records the visit with GPS coordinates and timestamp. Supervisors see agent-wise route history, visit map, time on site, and outcome. This creates auditable proof of visit — important for RBI recovery-agent compliance and for measuring agent productivity.
How does FastFee handle cash collection by field agents?
Field agents can collect cash from borrowers, generate a digital receipt on the spot, and log the collection against the loan account. The cash-in-transit balance sits with the agent and is reconciled at end-of-day deposit to branch or bank. Supervisor dashboards show cash collected vs cash deposited per agent to reduce leakage.
Can FastFee capture Promise-to-Pay (PTP) commitments in the field?
Yes. When a borrower cannot pay immediately, the field agent captures a Promise-to-Pay commitment with agreed date, amount, and mode. The system schedules an automated WhatsApp reminder for the PTP date, tracks whether the promise was kept, and updates the borrower's reliability score. Broken PTPs trigger an automatic escalation path.
What is the SAC code for NBFC field collection services?
SAC code 9971 covers financial services including collection activity of NBFCs and lenders. FastFee generates GST-compliant invoices with correct SAC codes for recovery-agency fees and service charges. Confirm applicable rate with your CA based on your service structure and contract.
How does FastFee compare to Vasool, RupeeCollect, or LoanMatrix?
Vasool and RupeeCollect are strong on offline / voice-entry / field-first collection for small money lenders. LoanMatrix positions primarily for external recovery agencies. FastFee's core strength is the combination: agent allocation + GPS + PTP + cash + UPI/AutoPay/eNACH + WhatsApp + reconciliation in one system, positioned for NBFCs and MFIs that need both field workflow AND digital collection channels.
