Boost Your Revenue with AI-Powered Digital Credit
For most companies, the Covid 19 economy has reduced revenue and raised the level of credit risk
There is an urgent need to increase revenue, but also control credit risk, and ensure customers pay in a reasonable timeframe
These imperatives conflict – what can a company do?
One part of the solution is to maximize sales to New Customers who have “reasonable” financial strength and are a “tolerable” credit risk
Creating a Competitive Advantage
Your competitors will be trying to secure new customers as well. How can you beat them?
A fast, efficient, quality Credit Vetting process will enable you to on-board a new customer fast. Once you are supplying a new customer, in many cases you will pre-empt the competition. Companies seldom onboard multiple suppliers of the same product simultaneously
