The changing trade credit landscape - Experian Webinar

This year has, and continues to be, incredibly challenging for many businesses.

Trade creditors have had to adapt in order to successfully grant credit, collect money owed and ultimately survive. No one in this generation of credit control or collection teams has ever lived through a period where many of their customers had to press the pause button on their business for a lock down and survive through it.

While many businesses were able to survive on little or no revenue initially by cutting their costs to a minimum, many now face the challenge of the costs outweighing the revenue. But what does this mean for the trade credit market and how do you effectively manage your existing and new customers?

Join John Griffiths, Market Engagement Director, Credit & Risk and Philip Hale, Senior Product Manager, Business Information in this live webinar as we look at what’s changed, is changing – and will change across the trade credit landscape.

Onguard - Is your credit management futureproof?

Prepare for 2021 - Automate your Processes

How do you make your credit management future-proof? This is a question that many financial departments have to deal with, especially now amongst so much uncertainty. As a result, many companies are suffering from reduced cash flows because invoices remain untouched. The focus remains more on the pursuit of payments than on long-term growth.

Nowadays, a well-designed credit management process is crucial for the survival of your organisation, but what is required to make this happen? One thing is certain; data is key. For example, data helps you to lower your DSO and map out risks. Data makes processes more intelligent, giving the finance professional space to make more personalized customer relationships.

In our blog we give you some tips on how to make your credit management more future-proof. Use it to your advantage.

Make your credit management future-proof

Onguard: The impact of data-driven organisations on daily practice - Fintech Barometer May 2020 
Companies are collecting more information than ever before. Nevertheless, many companies are still unable to convert data from the various sources into information and, ultimately, insights. Data-driven organisations, however, are doing exactly this, and it’s making an enormous difference for these companies’ finance departments.
Onguard’s annual FinTech Barometer shows that 27% of financial professionals describe their organisation as being data-driven, and 7% even believe their company is completely data-driven. Over half (57%) of finance professionals state that their organisation will become so within three years. The biggest obstacles to creating a data-driven organisation are combining data from various internal and external
sources and gaining optimum value from it (40%) and the lack of expertise in data processes and analysis (36%). This whitepaper advises finance professionals on how they can help transform their company into a data-driven organisation, thereby enabling them to predict customer behaviour and reap the benefits of doing so.
