Coface Business Information to anticipate risks: A Case study
An information and communication technology (ICT) company had a long-standing partnership with a customer specialising in household appliances. The company used Urba360 to closely monitor this customer's financial health. In 2019, it noticed continuous losses, which led to payment problems in 2022.
Thanks to Urba360 alerts, the company was able to track the customer's financial decline until it became insolvent. This enabled it to anticipate credit risks, prepare for disruptions and seek new, financially stable business partners to mitigate risks.
They use Coface Business Information
Dassault Systèmes
Since 2022, Dassault Systèmes has been relying on Coface's business information services to manage its customer risk. Their credit management teams use Coface Business Information to access data that they integrate into their decision-making: scores, credit opinions, sector and country analyses.
Dassault Systèmes has also subscribed to the Economic Insights service, which provides it with monthly expertise and insights from Coface's underwriting team. These exchanges enable the sharing of analyses and a review of priority issues.
GEODIS
Geodis uses Urba360 to manage its commercial strategy and customer risk. With Coface Business Information, the company has key indicators to assess its partners: credit scores, payment behaviour and credit recommendations. Geodis also benefits from the support of Coface's underwriting teams, exchanging information on around ten companies every month.
Geodis teams appreciate the standardisation of data, which facilitates the analysis of companies wherever they are in the world, and the concept of shared risk, since the data accessed by the company is the same as that used on a daily basis by Coface's underwriting teams to make over 13,000 credit decisions everyday.
MACSTEEL
For nearly 20 years, Macsteel has been using Coface's risk management solutions, including credit insurance and, more recently, business information services. Their risk management teams rely on Coface Global Solutions to monitor the company's global exposure in real time, including that of its subsidiaries. Using the interactive Coface Risk Dashboard, they can assess the performance of business partners and make quick decisions. This partnership enables Macsteel to assess the market in order to strengthen its global positioning by aligning its terms and conditions with those of its competitors.
