DEDHAM, Mass., and ATLANTA, Dec. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- eCredit, the leading provider of Web-based credit and collections automation applications, today announced that FleetCor, The Fleet Card Company, has selected the eCredit nFusion suite to automate its collections processes.

Additionally, eCredit nFusion will also help FleetCor increase the value it is able to provide to its customer base, improving customer service through automated and efficient collections processing.

"In addition to offering the suite best capable of creating a powerful and user-friendly environment to manage our collection efforts, eCredit nFusion also impressed us with its economic benefits.
