Working with Customer Analysis

Overview

The Customer Analysis module stores a broad range of customer information, while providing you with financial analysis tools. Using the Customer Analysis module, you can save multiple records of the same type for a customer. This provides you with comparative information about the customer over time.

The information stored for the customer can be used by:

  • credit analysts when analyzing, changing, reviewing, or reprocessing credit requests.

  • collectors when viewing invoice details.

  • automated business processes designed to render a credit decision, or to populate a work queue task with action items.

  • scorecards when generating credit risk scores.

  • users when creating reports from the Reports module.

The Customer Analysis module includes the following features to aid your risk analysis:

  • Customer Information: Stores a broad range of customer information, such as business and internal contacts, credit lines, Notes, A/R Data, and bank and trade references.

  • Customer Snapshot: Is a single point of access to key information for a customer available on one screen. This helps you quickly assess a customer's performance and to present the customer to upper management.

  • Business Hierarchy: Provides you with consolidated exposure and aging for customers who are part of business hierarchies.  You can view accounts receivable, credit line, credit allocation, and customer details for each customer in the hierarchy along with the aggregated data for the hierarchy on one screen and can export the data to Excel or to PDF.

  • Invoices: Stores details for all invoices for the customer. You send your invoice data through the bulk interface to store it in eCredit. Invoice details can include line item and payment details if you are sending this information.

  • Bureau Reports: Enables you to submit requests for credit bureau products without using the automated decision process, and to view all bureau reports for the customer.

  • Scores: Enables you to submit scorecards for processing, view all score results, and review details for a scorecard

  • Credit Requests: A navigational aid that enables you to access a customer's credit requests directly from the Customer Analysis module without performing an additional search.

Integration with the Automated Decisions module

You can view contacts and references saved for the customer's credit requests, and scores and bureau reports generated by the automated decision process along with any of the information of this type saved from the Customer Analysis module. This enables you to view all the information of these types for a customer in a central location.
