Batch Scoring Using Cortera BOOST

Overview

Cortera BOOST is a batch scoring product that gives payment score and demographic information for a portfolio of your customers. You can schedule this batch scoring to automate data gathering for your credit reviews.

Cortera's BOOST report includes:

  • All Company Score

  • Days Beyond Terms (DBT)

  • Number of companies providing data for the report

  • Confidence match score to indicate the degree of accuracy for the match

  • Payment score

  • Credit grade which ranks the payment score

  • Company name and address

  • Company hierarchy information  More

    Your administrator can schedule an eCredit Boost report to include hierarchy information for each company that is included in a selected scoring portfolio by checking the Ultimate Parent check box in the Job Scheduling dialog. This information will help to determine the overall structure of a company that is requesting credit and whether the company has other companies reporting to it; whether the company reports to another company; or whether the company is a single location that is not part of a corporate hierarchy.

  • Demographic data, which can include:

    • date last seen: the date of the most recent transaction used in the report

    • DBA (Doing Business As) or trade style name for the business
