HighRadius & NACM Raise the Bar with Commercial Credit Integration
Online, May 8, 2014 (Newswire.com) - HighRadius Corporation, a leading provider of Financial Supply Chain Management (FSCM) solutions, and the National Association for Credit Management (NACM), a leading resource for credit and financial management information and education, are proud to announce the completion and go-live of HighRadius' extensive integration of NACM's commercial credit reporting services.
This innovative integration automatically parses incoming NACM data and pulls it directly into credit workflows, allowing members to isolate, weigh, score, track, and trend virtually any variable they require. No longer is the member looking at a simple 'credit report', they are leveraging the collective experiences of their fellow NACM members, both within their industry group and across the US, and in growing numbers, internationally. Key integration functionality includes account monitoring, alerts, batch processing of credit scores and full reports, and most recently, data reporting to NACM's National Trade Credit Report (NTCR) database.
"HighRadius raised the bar with the wide array of information our members can obtain through automation and use to directly drive their credit management activities," said Bill Meeker, Chairman of NACM Tampa, Inc. "The deep integration with HighRadius' configurable products reduces not only the time and cost of incorporating NACM information into credit workflows, but also the resources needed to share data with the National Trade Credit Report database. "
Meeker's long time member and early HighRadius adopter, Tech Data Corporation, was the driving force behind these enhancements, driving the integration beyond typical standards. HighRadius also developed a call-out module for Tech Data that easily retrieves data and images from NACM to feed the company's SAP risk management system. According to Scott Tillesen, Vice President, Credit & Customer Care, The Americas at Tech Data, "The efforts of HighRadius helped streamline our approach to gathering agency data for both automated and manual risk analyses."
"Businesses are spending too much time manually collecting the various pieces of information they need to make decisions such as credit reports, financials, and historic data. These low-value activities introduce delays and increase exposure to risk. Our partnership with a market-leading credit data provider, such as NACM, is a great complement to our ability to eliminate low-value manual tasks and focus resources on making critical decisions and reducing risk. This focus is key to strengthening our leadership in credit management and automation," said Sashi Narahari, CEO and President of HighRadius.
To learn more, join us at NACM's 118th Credit Congress June 8th to 11th, 2014 at the Rosen Shingle Creek Resort, Orlando, FL. Mary Ann Blackmore, Sr. Manager of Advanced Debt Recovery at Tech Data Corporation, and HighRadius will showcase this integration. They will share how automation has drastically improved credit application processing and reviews for Tech Data during the Technology segment of the Executive Exchange sessions on Monday afternoon, June 9th.
