D&B Finance Analytics

FINANCE ANALYTICS

Commentaires : GOOD CA AIDE A LA COMPAGNIE D'AVOIR UN APERCUE

Avantages :

FACILE A UTILISER ET FACILE A PRODUIRE LES RAPPORT

Inconvénients :

CE N'EST PAS TOUJOURS CONCRET MAIS CA AIDE BEAUCOUP

Vertically Integrated Manufacturing Company (wholesale)

Commentaires : This is a great tool for any position involving credit and risk for customers. Easy to use and will benefit any organization looking to avoid bad debt.

Avantages :

Seeing other customers in our industry code that may have historically not performed as well as we can accept for terms.

Inconvénients :

Unfortunately, being in an oligopoly, we are the largest and main supplier for over 50% of a company's material. We may be the only company reporting information monthly.

Solid Product Overall; Sometimes Lacking

Commentaires : Overall, it's been a very good experience. My team works in D&B nearly every day, and it's rare that we find nothing about a company we're reviewing.

Avantages :

The reporting is easy to read, well laid out, and thorough.

Inconvénients :

Relatively often, we find that companies we're looking at the reporting for don't have much reporting on D&B. In many cases, we can find detailed reporting from Experian when we can't find it from D&B. We always use both, so this isn't a huge issue, but it often results in the feeling that our Experian reporting is a bit more useful due to how many companies are well-captured in the reporting. I know there's the ability to request an investigation to get details on companies that are lacking detail, but I'm always cautious to try that option, as we typically need to keep moving quickly, and nothing indicates how long the investigations take, at least as far as I tend to go in the process.

Review of D&B Application

Avantages :

It provides detailed payment histories and status, along with Customer demographics

Inconvénients :

The contact or representative for our company never responds to emails or calls. The company changes contacts and doesn't inform their customer.

Necessary Information

Commentaires : It has helped greatly in decision making.

Avantages :

The report gives you information necessary to determine if a potential customer is viable.

Inconvénients :

Sometimes the information is not up to date.

Critical Risk Assessment

Avantages :

I use the analytics to determine line of credit for current and potential customers. I like that the analytics provide a quick snapshot of creditworthiness but you also have the opportunity to deep dive into the factors behind the assessment. I use these every day and it makes my job very efficient.

Inconvénients :

I have honestly never found anything about the Analytics that I would consider a con.

D&B Review Process

Commentaires : Overall, I like D&B. I feel that there is a definite need for your service but wish it was easier to understand!

Avantages :

I like the fact that I don't have a hard time getting into D&B.

Inconvénients :

What I like leastn of all is the fact that I cannot tell exactly what the reports are telling me. I wish it would be easier to know if we should give a company credit or not. I find this information vague. I would rather have a definite yes or no answer to my question.

HIGHLY RECOMMENEDED

Commentaires : OVERALL, this is the best product to use for business-to-business credit rating/qualifying.

Avantages :

D&B FINANCE ANALYTICS is the industry standard for credit reporting. If you need to credit qualify a potential customer, DNB is your go to product. From trade experiences, to longevity in business, liens, suits, judgments, past dues, BK, negative comments or situations in which a potential customer has been sent to collections, DNB is your all-in-one solution.

Inconvénients :

I question how much of a potential customer's trade experiences are represented in the reporting. In other words, what is reported by DNB represents only a fraction of actual total trade experiences.

D&B Review

Commentaires : I've been using D&B for over 10 years and have not found anything

Avantages :

D&B offers a user friendly source for credit risk info for all types of counterparties.

Inconvénients :

There is very limited info on private companies. This is understandable and D&B seems to be as good info as any other sources.

D&B Review

Commentaires : Over all experience is satisfactory. comparing with other products in the market, D&B usually provides the best results.

Expensive. It also is not specific to industry.

Sometimes the website is slow to load and requires lots of clicking to pull a report.

D&B Finance Analytics

Commentaires : The alerts we get are useful, although it seems to be a new feature as in previous months we didnt receive as many as we do now

Avantages :

I like the scoring and when sometimes it shows you the companies aligned to it and which on is the "parent" ACC

Inconvénients :

The most important feature for me is the update of the reports, it is not clear for the user the frequency that the reports get updated... I once raised a ticket, but the answer was not clear. Sometimes you see that the report was updated 9 months ago, and no clear indication when it will be done again

Use of D&B

Commentaires : Use it weekly to assess financial risk on future and current vendors. provides sufficient information to make a decision.

Avantages :

Ease of getting financial analytics on potential vendors.

I have nothing to report at this moment.

Commentaires : I use it daily in my risk management and credit limit decision making.

Avantages :

The detailed reports provided and the ease in finding businesses.

Inconvénients :

D&B alerts received in my email about companies not in my profile.

D&B Review

Avantages :

DNB is easy to utilize and navigate. I recently found out how to utilize the alert functions on the service. Every company reviewed is added to the portfolio and DNB keeps track of any significant changes that may occur in each individual file such as a decline in payment behaviour, company declaring bankruptcy and more. The dashboard also provides a daily summary as well.

Inconvénients :

There are sometimes several duplicate files on one buyer which can impact our analysis if we choose the wrong file to look at. It is also hard to get in touch with customer service at times.

Helping out

Commentaires : I really like the ease of use.

Avantages :

Easy to use. Useful information. Like the updated information notification.

Inconvénients :

That you have to change your log in PW way too often. Like every 3 months or so. I also wish you noted which departments go for which D&B # for municipalities and such.

Great site for Finance Analytics

Avantages :

Easy to access, quick report include all risk and trade payment assessment.

Inconvénients :

some profiles in BC do not have any information.

User friendly site

Avantages :

User friendly and very complete with the data that is provided. Updated on a regular basis.

Inconvénients :

In my use of the site, I have not found anything that I do not like. I was able to easily find the information that I was searching for.

D&B Finance Analytics Go Hard

Commentaires : D&B is a very resourceful tool in my current job role.

Avantages :

It's very beneficial, user friendly, and easy to navigate through.

Inconvénients :

I wish comapnies would use the Financial Statement reporting side more often, as this would be extremely usefulf for me in my ucrrent positon. If this information was there, I would do less customer contact regarding financial statements.

Review from a small-ticket commercial equipment finance company.

Commentaires : I have been using D&B for 30 years. We use it primarily to get a sense for the trade payables (Paydex), and the UCC and public filings. There are more tools, but we typically haven't used them. As the product offering has evolved, we are more aware of the tools, but we need to put the effort into including them into our underwriting process.

Avantages :

Dashboard is pretty complete, and includes aspects of the borrowing entity that we may not have.

Inconvénients :

Financial summary. I have found that the financial information provided by D&B is not very timely nor accurate.

Solid Risk Analysis

Avantages :

It's very easy to use, helps identify industry and risk analysis. Lets you export a pdf of the report.

Inconvénients :

A lot of times the SIC associated with the company isn't accurate

D&B Analytics

Avantages :

-ease of use with straightforward navigation -relevant information is provided in a easy to digest format -ability to PDF the report data for ease of sharing the data

Inconvénients :

-don't have any at this time, the tool works well
