Bürgel

Starting point

Its 125 years of experience make BÜRGEL one of the leading companies for risk management on the German market. In order to provide professional service as close to its clients as possible, Bürgel operates a network of more than 60 offices in all over Germany. Bürgel‘s database, the key to providing high-quality information, covers more than 3.9 million companies and 39 million private individuals in Germany and contains links to information on more than 28 million companies across Europe. BÜRGEL is a subsidiary of Euler Hermes Kreditversicherungs-AG (Allianz Group) and KG EOS Holding GmbH & Co (Otto Group).
Quick handling and process integration are of key importance.

However, things look quite different in practice:

  • Information has to be retrieved over the Internet or telephone
  • The complete process is managed manually (entry of inquiry data, …)
  • Multiple inquiries because information is not centrally available
  • Retrieved information is not assigned to the SAP customer record
  • In most of the cases, information is only available on paper
  • etc.
