Offered as an additional module for accounts receivable (AR) management automation within Quadient’s cloud platform, the enriched data and insights provided by Coface will enable companies to establish a much more precise financial analysis of their customers, prospects and suppliers. The extremely granular data provided takes into account changing market conditions, company’s financial information, sector risk analysis and Coface’s exclusive data insights.

Coface’s leading position and unparalleled credibility for risk management supports financial teams in their day-to-day operations, whether for monitoring existing commercial relationships, or entering in new partnerships or keeping up due diligence on vendors.

For Quadient, this partnership enhances the accuracy of credit analysis and the performance of businesses of all sizes already familiar with Quadient’s AI-powered AR solution. With Coface insights, the scoring function already present in Quadient AR will also facilitate the creation of more effective scenarios and workflows. For Coface, this strategic partnership allows to reach a larger number of businesses so they can benefit from the full breadth of its business information services.
