Latitude Software Announces SIMM Associates as New Client

Latitude Software has announced that SIMM Associates, Inc., one of the strongest collection agencies in the country, chose Latitude in January 2007 as its software provider. Since converting in early February, SIMM Associates has noticed significant performance increases.

Carl Harkleroad, president and CEO of Latitude Software, said, “We are proud to be SIMM’s software provider, and we appreciate the opportunity to show them what our software can do. We are looking forward to a long-lasting and rewarding relationship that will help SIMM Associates achieve even more success.”

SIMM Associates, Inc. selected Latitude to leverage the open architecture that is the foundation of the application. Major credit grantors have demands for quick responses to import routines and reports. Latitude empowers end-users with the ability to respond to these requirements without the intervention of the software vendor, thereby allowing the end-user to take control of their own destiny. Latitude’s advanced technology system can provide SIMM Associates’ clients with the best needs for their businesses. Latitude’s open Microsoft database architecture allows SIMM Associates to perform its everyday collection responsibilities in a more efficient manner. 

Jeff Simendinger, owner and COO of SIMM Associates, Inc., said, “SIMM had just gone through a long process with another software company that did not work out, and we had to start from scratch. Latitude’s owners and staff came in and blew us away with their product and their service. They were able to convert us in four months, where the previous company couldn’t complete this in 18 months. Since conversion in early February, everyday at SIMM, we are finding new ways to automate functions and streamline our processes. It’s been a total win for our company, and we’re building a great relationship with Latitude. Most importantly, our clients are seeing the dividends with our performance and client service improvements.”
