Why automate credit management with Esker?
Cash is the lifeblood of every business, yet it’s put at risk by the unpredictability and volatility of credit risk. This puts more pressure on credit teams to control and mitigate credit risk and secure cash. Esker Credit Management optimizes the entire risk management process, by:
- Optimizing & securing your team’s customer onboarding process
- Automating all “business as usual” credit decisions
- Empowering staff with actionable data to make faster, smarter decisions
“We're doing a number of reviews a month and processing all our open accounts and applications. My team love using Esker Credit Management and being able to make educated credit decisions.”
Make smarter credit
decisions, faster
Constantly evolving customer and business situations require credit teams to make a myriad of critical decisions (e.g., updating credit limits, managing blocked orders, onboarding new customers) all with one objective — continue securing revenue.
Rather than relying on a fully manual process, Esker Credit Management allows credit teams to focus on where they bring the most value (i.e., dealing with actual risk) by:
- Calculating risk automatically with a customizable scoring model combining any internal & external risk indicators like credit agencies’ data
- Identifying risk & enabling credit teams to automate all “business as usual” & low-risk decisions through customizable approval workflows
Simplified credit reviews
The right data, right when you
need it most
Not every decision can be automated. When a change occurs potentially impacting a customer’s ability to pay, credit teams are notified in real-time, triggering credit reviews. But considering the number of sources to check (e.g., ERP, CRM, credit agencies, Excel sheets to calculate risk), a little simplicity goes a long way.
Esker Credit Management delivers exactly what your team needs in a single, user-friendly interface:
- End-to-end visibility on customer risk & business situation during credit reviews with centralized customer KPIs in one page (e.g., risk category, business history, credit bureau scorings)
- Customizable internal scoring model to automatically determine level of risk for all customers
- Suggestions of credit terms powered by Esker Synergy AI
- Easy internal collaboration to start conversations with coworkers to get more details on customer situations
