Recording and using customer data

Consumer information: your private customers’ credit standing

In our database we store information on more than 37 million private individuals – naturally in strict compliance with the German Federal Data Protection Act. We use this information to ascertain your customers’ credit standing. This calculation includes negative personal indicators such as arrest warrants, statutory declarations, insolvency proceedings, titled receivables and debt collection proceedings, as well as positive and negative payment experiences from various commercial sectors. In this way you will find out more about your customer’s potential, reduce your default risks and structure your commercial development positively.

Business information: your business associates’ credit standing

In business, you have to make decisions every day. It’s best to make them on the basis of sound information. We can supply this kind of information about your business associates.

In the EOS database you’ll find information about more than 3.6 million companies, with each full information item containing 20 individual aspects. The financial data, relevant shareholdings and securities will help you to assess the solvency of your current and future business associates – in the interests of a successful, long-term cooperation.

We provide an important decision-making aid for your B2B business by using a credit standing index to forecast the likelihood of your customers defaulting within the next twelve months. The index is based on the data stored in our database. All of the aspects are weighted according to their commercial relevance and combined to form an overall mark. The index also incorporates the likelihood of default in the respective sector and region.

You receive the information online, by post, fax or e-mail, or on request as express information within just a few hours.
