Secure on-time payment

When customers pay later and seek extended credit terms, this can impact your production cycles and cash flow. Working with financially sound customers is central to securing on-time payment and reducing days sales outstanding (DSO).

The data and insights in Creditsafe’s online business reports across 200 countries enable you to select the right domestic and international customers while also negotiating favourable credit terms that protect your business. 

Our business reports help you understand the financial health of your customers with hundreds of key insights, including:

  1. Director details

  2. Company ID data

  3. Shareholder & UBO data

  4. Company risk profile

  5. Standardised

  6. Corporate hierarchy

Move faster than your competitors

Delivering fast and easy onboarding is a competitive advantage for manufacturers because customers are happy and the sales process is shorter. Creditsafe enables you to automate credit checks so you can decide whether to do business with a customer in seconds and up to 70% faster than running checks manually.

Automation means you gain back the time your business needs to focus on decisions that require more attention and analysis so that you are comfortable with the clients you work with and the structure of their payment terms.

  • No-code decision automation powered by our trusted global credit, risk and payment data.
  • Decision tree templates can be set up in minutes integrating the rules and logic of your in-house policies. 
  • Bespoke options available for more complex decision-making processes. 

Defy slowdowns in the manufacturing sector and discover new growth opportunities

Manufacturing companies often attribute a high percentage of their revenue to a few key customers. The risk of doing this heightens when demand across the industry has slowed for a multitude of reasons. Creditsafe’s global data enables you to identify attractive opportunities within and beyond your existing customer base to help mitigate the risk of non-payment from a single source. 

Diversify your portfolio without attracting additional risk using our company insights: 

  • Pre-qualify leads based on affordability.
  • Identify under-utilised credit limits.
  • Discover sister and parent companies.
  • Enrich your records with firmographic data.

Integrate with Salesforce, NetSuite, SAP, or any other CRM.

An expansive network of domestic and global customers exposes manufacturers to the increased risk of working with a sanctioned entity or a business involved in criminal activity. Creditsafe's comprehensive due diligence platform with KYB and adverse media screening services allows you to manage risk effectively and onboard new customers with speed and confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s included in an international report?

Our international business reports include most of the information you would expect to find in a local report, however not all countries have the same amount of data (publicly) available. We sometimes need to gather information from other local sources so the information may vary country by country.

How long will it take to receive my report?

99.9% of all reports requested by our customers are typically delivered instantly online. Where a company is not available, a fresh investigation will take between 2-10 working days depending on the country.

How does a fresh investigation work?

When a company report is not available to view online you have the opportunity to freshly investigate a business. Once this request is received, we will attempt to contact the company directly using our network of local partners and official registries to provide a detailed report within as little as 2–10 working days.

Where do you get your data from?

Our data is collected from thousands of sources; where possible we will collect information from official registries similar to Belgian sources. Our network of 25 offices and trusted local partners allow us to collect information locally; ensuring we always deliver high-quality and up-to-date information.

Why is the credit scoring banded A to E?

As not all countries use a 1-100 score; using an A-E score makes it easier for you to compare the credit risk of companies from across different countries. A is the lowest risk, D the highest risk and E is unrated.

How often is your data updated?

As a primary source of business information, the Creditsafe data universe is updated daily.
