Increased cash flow without dealing with collection agencies.

Every new customer that we acquire is screened through D&B Finance Analytics. After the initial screening, I am able to get current information that will tell me if the customer is still on a path toward viability. There have been a few times I was able to hold off on sales to a customer before they entered bankruptcy because of the alerts given by D&B Finance Analytics.

I have been able to make sure that we are taking on good risks and decreasing the number of collections that we have to do. Through D&B Finance Analytics, I have been able to weed out customers that do not have a good payment history and have those customers pay upon delivery instead of waiting for them to hopefully pay later. Cash flow has definitely been better.

Implementation and deployment of D&B Finance Analytics was simple. Whenever there was a question of why a payment was late or if a customer could have terms with us, I would just go to D&B Finance Analytics. Whenever there was a new customer I would go to D&B Finance Analytics. I have well over 2000 records of customers that are constantly being analyzed and reported upon, and that saves so much time, especially when it comes to not having to deal with collection agencies getting the money for us.
