Dun and Bradstreet - D&B Alert Services

Ongoing monitoring is critical

A one off check at the outset of a business relationship is no longer enough to ensure the ongoing stability of your business - live alerts are a critical part of any risk mitigation program.

The value of credit application data decreases substantially over time.

By the time your credit information is just three months old its value is already deteriorating at a very significant rate - by the time your data is two years old its value is virtually non-existent.

Behavioural monitoring can prevent your business from having to make critical decisions based on worthless data. It can also alert you to problems that could be impacting your client base before they turn into issues which have the potential to detrimentally impact your business.
Monitoring the financial stability and payment behaviors of your customers doesn't need to be a costly or time consuming exercise. D&B's sophisticated systems enable the effective monitoring of accounts with real time information, enabling you to pre-empt any possible problems and re-adjust appropriately your rules.	"Eighty per cent of bad debt comes from companies that you have been working with for more than a year - don't get caught out, ensure your business has an ongoing monitoring system in place."

DRS Alert

Manage the lifecycle of your customers with DRS Alert and have confidence that your business will be alerted to potential problems the moment they arise.

D&B's Dynamic Risk Score (DRS) is a highly regarded indicator, which predicts the likelihood of a company experiencing Financial Distress in the coming 12 months.

Scores are calculated using statistically valid models derived from D&B's extensive data files - the following data elements are used in the model:

Trade payment data
D&B Collections data
Demographic data such as age, size and industry of company
Public record information, including court actions and registered charges
Financial Accounts

Monitoring the stability of customer accounts is critical to the protection of a vital business asset - accounts receivable. Using the power of D&B's predictive scoring models, DRS Alert will provide your business with an early warning of any potential trouble likely to occur in any of the companies you choose to monitor.
