The company has been monitoring the creditworthiness of customers for many years. They did this up to five years ago by requesting separate credit reports. But that changed. Requesting individual reports was no longer suitable in the digital era, according to Julius Lurvink, director at Carel Lurvink B.V.
"The individual reports were inconvenient and could only be used once, because a credit score can be different a week later."

We supply customers on account and there is a lot of trust involved. So we want to know if a customer is financially sound. Not only today, but also tomorrow, the day after tomorrow and next week. Speed is essential in this process.”
Wat als… “Met deze succesvolle samenwerking denk ik weleens ‘wat als ik geen data had en had geleverd aan de klant die nu failliet is?’. Het is niet in cijfers uit te drukken wat de samenwerking met Altares Dun & Bradstreet ons heeft opgeleverd, maar ik weet wel dat de rust die het ons brengt heel waardevol is. We weten dat we de juiste cijfers hebben en daarmee gedegen beslissingen kunnen nemen. Het vertrouwen dat we 5 jaar geleden aan Altares Dun & Bradstreet hebben gegeven is beloond met een waardevolle samenwerking waarin we dicht op de data zitten.”
