Overall Satisfaction with D&B Finance Analytics

We track both current customers and potential clients to make credit related decisions. We review periodically and make related accessments. D&B has been a very reliable source in decision making for both existing and prospective customers.

We follow our current customers and rely on alerts from D&B, and try to make decisions that relate to the type of business, volume expected and largest amount of credit needed overall.

Pros

  • Paydex scoring
  • Credit limit decisions
  • Risk analysis
  • age of business
  • market trends

Cons

  • More trade reporting AR for contractors
  • Reduction in double digits in DSO
  • Most of our work goes into construction projects, so viability of owner, or GC is a very large consideration
We do not currently use some of these features
Implementation was fairly simple, learning which analytic factors most affect our customers has been effective in making choices on both credit limits and terms.

D&B suggested limits often are very helpful in determining the range of liability and whether their Paydex seems to match their industry.
Occasionally, timing to get answers has been slower than needed on some projects.

Looking at the companies for which our customers work in construction, because how substantial the GC or owner is on a particular project, can really affect whether our customer will be paid on a timely basis.

Construction generally relates back to how well the owner, GC pay before any subtrades will be able to pay .
