Intelliscore Plus is Experian’s premier business credit score model, providing an easy-to-use 1 to 100 risk score. The score considers more than 800 variables, resulting in an unparalleled view of a supplier’s financial status. Using the score, companies can assess risk quickly and reduce slow-pay and write-offs. The Financial Stability Risk Score also uses a risk rating of 1–100 to indicate a supplier’s potential likelihood of going bankrupt or defaulting on its financial obligations.
“Experian is committed to continuing to help businesses manage risk and navigate their financial health amid the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Hiq Lee, President of Experian’s Business Information Services. “Through our innovative tools and advanced analytics delivered through the Avetta Connect™ Platform, businesses can better evaluate risk and make better decisions for their supply chains in real time.”
When there are questions about supplier stability, the Avetta Platform offers more detailed credit reports through Experian’s Business IQ portal. Companies can place certain suppliers on watchlists to monitor financial activities more closely. Financial numbers can also be compared to industry standards.
