For lending and insurance Field sales, distribution and collections

What did your officeractually sayto the customer?

Groundsay is a small wearable for field staff at lenders and insurers. It records customer visits, with consent, so you can see how products are sold and how collections are handled, and fix problems before they become complaints.

Field conversations happen in

Your system says “Promise to pay.” The visit told a different story.

Officers log the outcome, not the conversation. Hardship, pressure and missing disclosures stay invisible.

What you will finally know.

The questions your risk, sales and collections teams ask every month.

Which borrowers are under stress?

Spot hardship in what borrowers say, before they miss a payment.

Is every collection visit done right?

See how each visit was conducted. RBI’s recovery rules from 1 January 2027 require recorded calls, but not visits.

Are disclosures being made?

Check that rates, charges and lock-ins are explained before the customer signs.

Is anyone promising what the product can’t give?

Flag talk of guaranteed returns or the wrong product for the customer.

Why are customers choosing another lender?

Competitor rates and offers, as customers describe them.

Which officers need coaching?

Real visits to coach from, not a checklist filled in later.

One visit tells you about one borrower. All of them together show you where stress is building and where conduct needs attention. Scroll down to see how.

Illustrative example · scroll to zoom out
  1. One visit (1 visit, illustrative): What happened at Sunita’s house? Her shop was shut for a week, so she can’t pay this month. The officer agreed to come back on the 15th.
  2. One officer, one week (24 visits, illustrative): What is Amit seeing? 6 of his 24 borrowers said they can’t pay this month. One visit went badly and needs a review.
  3. One branch (180 visits, illustrative): Is it just Amit? No. Across the Lucknow branch, stress is rising in two villages where the local market shut.
  4. One region (640 visits, illustrative): Is it spreading? Yes. In UP East, 4 branches show the same pattern since crop prices fell.
  5. The whole company (1,800 visits, illustrative): What should we do? Stress is rising in 9 of 12 regions. Reach those borrowers early, and check that every collection visit follows the rules.

What does Groundsay do for lenders and insurers?

It shows what is said on field sales and collection visits: how products are pitched, whether disclosures are made, where customers object or choose another lender, and which officers need coaching.

Does Groundsay help with mis-selling and complaints?

It flags conversations where a product may have been promised beyond what it gives, and keeps a record of how a product was explained or how a collection visit went, so you have evidence if a complaint comes in.

How is customer consent recorded?

The customer agrees before anything is recorded, and the consent is saved with the visit. Officers, managers, compliance and admins each see only what they need.

Which languages does Groundsay understand?

Groundsay is built for the way Indian field teams speak: Hindi, Hinglish, Marathi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Bengali, Gujarati, Malayalam, Punjabi, Odia and English, including conversations that switch between languages mid-sentence. Every conversation is written down in English, next to the original.

Can we use Groundsay today?

We are early and inviting a few field teams to build it with us as design partners. Book a call or write to ishan@groundsay.com to talk about your team.
