Credgenics, India’s first-of-its-kind SaaS-based end-to-end debt resolution and legal automation platform, is excited to announce the launch of CG Collect - a mobile application to help the lenders/managers track the collections agents, monitor their activities, and evaluate their performance. Alongside this, it helps the agents navigate to the borrowers’ location with ease, schedule visits with a couple of clicks, showcase legal notices to the borrowers, and access e-receipts for proof of payments, among other benefits. This Feet-On-Street (FOS) loan recovery application can significantly improve the productivity of collection agents. The app is now available on Google Play Store, and will soon be live on Apple App Store as well.

The mobile app closely integrates with the Credgenics web platform and allows features like navigation to the applicant provided address, direct calling of borrowers, geo-tracking of the agent’s live location, logging collection details (like recovered amount, collection mode and status for successful and failed recoveries), collection and visit proof, single & multiple loan deposit to the lender’s bank/company branch, and collection receipt’s integration with the communication channels like Email,  SMS, WhatsApp, etc.

Commenting on the launch, Anand Agrawal, Co-Founder & CTO, Credgenics, said, “We are really excited to introduce loan recovery FOS application for the collection agents and the managers. Through this CG Platform, managers can benefit from hassle-free loan allocation, easy tracking of agents and cases allocated to them and the corresponding collection cycles. Besides this, collection agents could easily manage and plan the loans in their portfolio. They can check for important parameters against those loans like DPD values, legal notice copies, agents' distance from the borrowers, and their allocation month. This helps them easily create, track and execute their pending tasks”

He further added, “This application has been carefully designed to renew our promise to digitally transform the collection activities and make it more cost and time efficient. The areas where the traditional means of collections through agents is prevalent, CG COLLECT will help the agents and the managers use a simple technology to do their work more efficiently. Remaining true to our aim, we would try to bring more offerings in the course of our journey to promote the cause of good assets and digital transformation.”

AppViewX, the leader in secure machine identity management and application delivery automation, today announced the launch of The Next-Gen Machine Identity Automation Platform™, consolidating its security automation solution for certificates, keys, IoT security and SSH access management across multi-cloud environments. The platform enables microservices and zero-trust with service mesh, making the entire system more flexible, adaptable, efficient and agile. It is available to all AppViewX users as a service and can also be deployed in the public cloud, private cloud or on-prem environments. Powered by AppViewX CERT+, the enhanced platform addresses security compliance driven by exponential growth in machine identities by enabling certificate and key provisioning through auto enrollment and ensuring end-to-end visibility. AppViewX is a leading choice for enterprises who are looking for machine identity management solutions grounded in security and automation with native workflows.

“In our recent CISO survey, we found 96% of those who say their organization doesn’t hold full awareness of certificates and keys have experienced consequences as a result,” said Gregory Webb, CEO at AppViewX. “Managing Machine Identities has never been more critical to enterprises than right now. Enterprises should pay attention and put these critical application and hardware identities to work without the risk of unplanned outages or security and audit incidents in order to accelerate the journey to crypto agility. I am confident that The Next-Gen Machine Identity Automation Platform will help users successfully address the increasing demands of Digital Transformation initiatives with increased speed, security and simplicity.”

According to the recent Next-Gen Machine Identity Management Report commissioned by AppViewX with Vanson Bourne, 96% of those who have fully implemented Machine Identity Management-as-a-Service (MIMaaS) have full awareness of certificates and keys across their digital assets, compared to 37% of those who have started to implement it, and 28% of those who have not started yet, but plan to. This clearly demonstrates the value of having a solution that scales with an organization’s needs to support and adopt next-gen advancements in machine identity management.

The Next-Gen Machine Identity Automation Platform is equipped with many compelling attributes for delivering security with simplicity through automation:

• Certificate Lifecycle Automation with Smart Discovery capabilities discovers unknown certificates and keys across heterogeneous environments
• Certificate Lifecycle Management-as-a-Service (CLMaaS) helps instantly scale to large volumes of certificates, with instant access to ready-to-consume CLM, anywhere and at any time
• PKI-as-a-Service (PKIaaS) is an easy-to-consume, quick to deploy, scalable and highly secure PKI integrated with enterprise-grade CLM
• Central Management of SSH Keys and Certificates secures and automates their lifecycles across an enterprise
• IoT Certificate Management with one-touch provisioning and self-service device workflows keeps IoT devices secure in untrusted environments
• Multicloud provisioning and deployment provides complete interaction and integration of CERT+ with various services of Amazon Web Services (AWS), Azure and Google Cloud Platform (GCP).

“The move to multi and hybrid-cloud and OT environments is not possible without a comprehensive approach towards machine identity. The volume of OT devices and potential certificate sprawl makes automation an absolute requirement,” said Larry Biagini, former CTO of General Electric and AppViewX Board Member. “With the launch of The Next-Gen Machine Identity Automation Platform, AppViewX automates and simplifies managing digital identities based on certificates and crypto keys.  Enterprises now have a comprehensive solution for their Machine Identity Management needs.”

Users can now get early access to the new platform, which will be generally available in November. The platform will work hand in glove with AppViewX CERT+, providing a more comprehensive approach for enterprises to scale their machine identity management.

SGS, the world’s leading testing, inspection and certification company, invites registrations for its complimentary webinar, ‘Mold Prevention in the Softlines Supply Chain,’ which will be presented on November 9, 2021.

This event addresses an important issue for the leather and footwear industry and provides an opportunity to find out more about mitigating the problem.

The causes of mold, and how it grows and spreads will be addressed, including issues in the supply chain such as safety and security of source, the condition of packaging and shipping containers and the management and control of warehousing.

The many constituent parts of the footwear supply chain make leather vulnerable to mold, with the biggest potential risks coming from staining and fat spurs. Damage is not always obvious straightaway, but it can result in increased costs – from treatment, late deliveries, loss of sales and brand damage or product recalls.

Suitable for anyone in the leather and footwear industries with responsibility for quality control, the webinar is presented by Paul Bridge, Deputy Vice President, Connectivity and Products, Global Footwear and Leather. Paul has over 40 years of experience in technology and manufacturing of footwear and leather materials.
