Case Study: Top 5 Global Advertising Agency looking to better manage credit risk, credit insurance arrangements and to improve efficiency.
We were recommended to this company by another of our clients and we were able to meet up and discuss the challenges:
Issues & Challenges:
- Wanted to replace an existing software solution with something much better
- Wanted to manage and control global credit insurance arrangements in a single highly configurable cloud solution rather than relying on the current insurer’s on-line system and its own disparate accounting systems / data warehouse
- Wanted the flexibility to easily change insurer at the 11th hour of negotiations and to have the option of multiple insurers, with global users operating in one place
- Wanted to embed credit insurance policy and terms and conditions into global users’ day-to-day processes, to ensure compliance
- Wanted to embed internal credit policy and approval workflows into daily processes
- Wanted high levels of process automation (limit increases) and automated reporting
- Wanted to view all credit insurance policies, buyer limits, buyer groups, in-house limits, in one place and ideally with real-time updates.
