Companies Gain Transparency Across the Quote-to-Cash Process with New Equifax Business Solution Integrating Credit, Collections and Sales Management


ATLANTA, -- Equifax is answering the need for a 360 degree view of customer engagement by providing companies with a software application that ties together credit and collections decisioning with sales, marketing and service. By combining these components of customer relationship management on one platform, QTC Advantage(TM) gives companies a one-stop solution that enables them to quickly find prospects, set smart sales terms, extend appropriate credit limits and shorten collections cycles.

QTC Advantage offers real-time access to Equifax data on U.S. and Canadian businesses and consumers associated with those businesses, as well as data from other sources that enables companies to quickly evaluate and manage customer and vendor portfolios. Equifax's program helps lower operational costs and increase productivity by automating credit, collections and other account management functions including:

-- B2B credit decisions across sales channels, including mobile devices

-- Credit scoring rules, workflow, notifications, updates and alerts

-- Business verification

-- Collections call prioritization

"QTC Advantage is a highly secure, cloud computing application that allows online collaboration and alignment among sales, credit and collections functions throughout the quote-to-cash cycle," said Dan Csont, Chief Marketing Officer of Equifax's North American Commercial Solutions. "With no hardware or software to install or maintain, it is a fast, easy and affordable way to track and manage all aspects of customer data."

Equifax's new commercial solution also includes analysis tools that give companies the ability to easily create reports or dashboard views showing relevant benchmarks and comparisons. In addition, the more mundane and time-consuming tasks such as reviewing credit applications or sending collection notices are online and automated.
