Atradius

Starting point

With its decades of experience and comprehensive know-how of risk assessment, Atradius provides a wide range of national and internal collection management solutions for companies of all sizes to cover their economical and political trading risks.

By underwriting an Atradius credit insurance policy, you can reduce your risk of financial loss. Moreover, Atradius credit insurance ensures a stable cash-flow and helps you to minimize your risk capital and generate more working capital that can be invested in further growth.

Atradius covers the risk of financial loss in both your domestic and international business segments. Quick handling and process integration are of key importance.

In practice, however, a great deal of effort is involved in managing credit insurance:

  • Inquiry of insurance limits over the Internet or telephone
  • The complete process is managed manually (entry of inquiry data, …)
  • Manual entry of limits into the SAP system
  • No option for storing decision codes (full acceptance, partial acceptance …) in SAP
  • No option for storing “valid-from” dates
  • No link to credit master data (credit limit)
  • etc.

  • Submitting inquiries to Atradius
  • Retrieval of insurance limits
