Revenue model

1. Contribution Collection for Sports Clubs: Subscription or service fee model for sports clubs and associations. NIKKI handles the entire contribution collection process — from sending iDEAL payment links via email/SMS/WhatsApp to managing term payments and bank transfers — fully relieving treasurers of administrative burden. Revenue is earned through successful collection, aligned with the 'everyone leaves stronger' philosophy.
2. NIKKI-Business Debtor Management: Per-action pricing model where companies pay for each debtor contact action taken: phone promotion (€2.00), email responded (€2.00), email not responded (€1.00), letter (€2.00), SMS (€0.50). Clients can also add professional call team services and a personalized dashboard. Revenue scales with action volume, incentivizing efficient collection.
3. NIKKI-Admin Financial Administration Services: Full financial administration outsourcing for sports clubs, replacing spreadsheets and fragmented tools with a consolidated platform covering invoicing, payments, reporting, and debtor management in one integrated system.
4. Pre-Collection and Escalation Services: NIKKI offers pre-collection follow-up before escalation to formal collection. If debtors do not pay, files can be forwarded to NIKKI's collection department, maintaining continuity and a legally correct file built through the social approach.

Core offering

NIKKI provides social debt collection and financial administration services for Dutch sports clubs (membership/contribution fee collection via NIKKI-Contributie and NIKKI-Admin) and for SMBs (empathetic multi-channel debtor management via NIKKI-Business). The company uses a cloud-based platform with Sportlink integration for automatic reconciliation and Mollie/iDEAL payment processing to recover outstanding payments while preserving member/customer relationships.

Product overview

NIKKI is a financial health platform with two core product lines: NIKKI-Contributie for sports club contribution collection, and NIKKI-Business for business debtor management. Both are supported by NIKKI-Financial services (Admin) for bookkeeping and the Sportlink partnership for automatic reconciliation. The portfolio works as an integrated ecosystem where administration, collection, and cash flows reinforce each other, connected via the Sportlink integration for membership administration. The company also offers a portal (mijn.nikki-online.nl) for customer access.
