Therefore, multinational companies have immediate access to Coface's international network which is present in 66 countries and offers, either directly or through its partners, credit insurance services in 97 countries. Coface also makes its worldwide database available to them, offering information on 68 million debtors, its 350 risk underwriters who are specialised by business sector and its recognised knowledge of country and sector risks. 
 

The market's most modern IT platform for online analysis of trade receivable risks 
  • CGS multinational clients have access to the CGS Dashboard, a new fast and user-friendly tool that provides the client with centralised data management for all trade receivables:
  • Immediate access to existing data history and trend analysis over long periods of time;
  • Access to all of the source data, allowing for personalised analyses;
  • Creation of geographic and sector comparisons;
  • Implementation of key indicators for further control of objectives linked to customer credit;
  • Calculation of the acceptance rate for risks and indicators over the last 24 months;
  • Statistical analysis of the reasons for refusal of coverage;
  • Identification of aggregates in trade risk exposure;
  • Unique ergonomics allowing the policies that comprise a credit insurance programme to be grouped together in a customised manner, mirroring the client’s internal group organisation;
  • Data and analyses can be downloaded immediately in pdf, excel or data file format;
  • Updated comparisons at current or constant structure exchange rates. 

CGS also incorporates tools that are shared by all of its teams in order to facilitate coordination for those in charge of commercial follow-up and risk cover (eg intranet tools, cloud). From this integration of local teams and tools stems a structured dimension in the CGS offering to its clients. With the CGS Dashboard for example, clients can see the consolidation of the risks on a group of buyers, which is data integrated into Coface Group’s systems.
