APPLICATIONS
Customer: CDW
Industry: Technology Provider
Product: InstantDecision[TM]
Challenge: Improve speed and accuracy of credit decisions, without adding overhead, to quickly accommodate a growing number of new customers.
Solution: Implement an eCredit real-time credit automation solution to automate most credit decisions using the most up-to-date information.
Managed Growth With Managed Risk at CDW
CDW is a Fortune 500 company that provides technology products an services to businesses and the public sector nationwide. The company was founded in 1984 as a home-based business and today employs more than 2,800 people with net sales of approximately $4 billion in 2001.
CDW focuses on small- and medium-sized businesses with approximately 97 percent of sales derived from commercial accounts. CDW has built strong relationships within the technology sector and is a leading direct source for Cisco, Compaq, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Intel, Microsoft, Sony, Toshiba and other top name brands. It was recently ranked first in its industry on FORTUNE magazine's "America's Most Admired Companies" list, and is expanding its list of active commercial customers.
Handling Fast Growth
"We were experiencing double-digit growth in our new customer acquisition," said Ken Ford, Director of Credit Services, CDW. "Each new customer required credit approval, so we now needed to make fast, accurate credit decisions in order to quickly service our customers and as a way of expediting the sales process and managing operational costs."
The old credit approval process at CDW required the company's analysts to manually review credit information received daily from information bureaus. The information could have been as much as three months old, and the process was often time-consuming.
By using older data, the company was not certain it was providing the most accurate credit limit to new customers. It was possible that CDW was missing sales opportunities because it was nor allotting a large enough credit limit to low-risk customers. In addition, older data meant that CDW might not be immediately aware of negative change in a company's credit raring or if the customer was declared fraudulent
Minimizing Risk
CDW chose InstantDecision software from eCredit.com to make credit decisions more accurate, efficient and consistent and to manage risk more closely. The eCredit solution offered real-time access to bureau data and scores, to ensure decisions were based on the most up-to-date information. In addition, eCredit software took CDW's existing credit decision process--which involved gathering information manually and applying a credit limit based on the resulting customer score--and automated it from start to finish. This dramatically reduced the time and effort needed to process a single transaction and improved consistency of credit decisions.
"With InstantDecision, we built our own credit line assignment model in the system," said Ford. "This means we are issuing credit based on our own perception of risk, and we've ensured continuity in our credit portfolio." The flexibility of the InstantDecision software also meant CDW could change credit decision rules, data elements used to assign credit limits and scorecard thresholds as needed--such with a change in economic conditions--with little delay.
Real Results
Using the eCredit system, CDW reduced the transaction time for an application by 75 percent, speeding up the time to order fulfillment. CDW now processes some 3,000 credit decisions per month, and virtually all credit-approved, in-stock orders ship the same day, with close to 15,000 orders shipped daily.
Despite the changes in the economy after implementation of the eCredit software, CDW did not see a significant change in bad debt loss--meaning the system's improved accuracy may have prevented risky lending decisions
CDW has also dramatically improved efficiency. "With eCredit InstantDecision, we can handle up to twice the volume of applications with the same number of employees," said Ford. "That means CDW has no slowdown in credit processing even when there is a spike in orders. In the credit department, we have peace of mind of knowing the credit decision will not be the limiting factor in delivery of orders."

American Check Management

American Check Management's Electronic Funds Transfer Program
"Every credit department that doesn't institute this tool is just another step behind the competition
Thomas Palie, credit and collections manager for Conversent Communications, is referring to American Check Management's newest credit management tool--Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT). ACM'S EFT program provides its clients with the latest and most efficient way to process payments. EFT rakes advantage of the latest electronic capabilities by safely and securely processing and depositing payments through ACH via the ACM Processing Network. It eliminates or reduces costly wire transfer costs. Funds are transmitted using data encryption and server authentication. Not only is it safe, it's fast!
How Does It Work?
All you need is the information printed on your customer's check and the dollar amount to be processed. That means that you can rake down the information while you have the customer on the phone, or the customer can fax a copy of their check to you. Once the information is in hand, simply log onto the ACM web site using your ACM customer number, and input the necessary information. Once you hit the "submit" key, the customer's checking account will be drafted and the funds will be deposited into your company's bank account-usually within 48 hours! Eliminating the time it takes to receive a check in the mail, the trip to the hank to deposit the check and the longer time period it takes the check to clear through the bank are obvious benefits. What are some others?
Benefits for the Customers
ACM clients report immediate results using the EFT program. By using EFT, you can count on the following benefits:
* Improved ability to get paid while performing collection calls
* Improved A/R aging
* Accelerated cash flow
* CODs become CIAs (cash-in-advance)
* Reduced DSO
* It's cheaper and more secure than credit card transactions
* No need to change your current banking relationship
Conversent, a phone company with thousands of customers, has been using ACM's EFT program for the last eight months. Conversent has a "suspension for non-pay" process, where customers are given 10 days to bring their account current upon receipt of notice. If they don't pay, their service is discontinued. "... every time we contact a customer, we need it to end with a payment in hand," says Palie. Until ACM's EFT program was implemented, this process was a manual one and extremely time consuming. Now payment can be secured during the collection call. "Follow-ups and 'the check is in the mail' have become a thing of the past."
For another ACM client who also uses its check guarantee service, EFT proves effective for not only collecting on past due customers, but also as an alternative payment option. "Since we are in the construction industry," comments Debbie deBoer, CBA, corporate credit manager for Miles Sand and Gravel, "this payment method has become an alternative payment option for many of our customers that work out in the field and cannot get a check into our office for COD shipments or to clear a credit hold status. This payment option has allowed us the opportunity to increase sales because it provides us the opportunity to be more flexible and accessible to our customers.
The EFT program can also benefit the dient's customers--saving them time, money and worry. There is no need for remembering to write a check, apply postage and mail the payment. All that is done for them through one easy phone call.
The ACM Advantage
ACM clients agree that the EFT program is extremely easy to implement and use. "This group of professionals (ACM) will go to any length to make the 'partnership' successful," says deBoer. ACM customizes the program data to fit each client's needs and walks them through the simple steps of processing a payment. As part of ACM/NACM's member benefit package, there are no start-up fees or monthly minimums. Nor is the software expensive ACM can help you improve job performance, enhance your relationship with customers and save your company time and money while providing you with the highest level of service and attention. "The attention that ACM gives to us is what makes them so valuable as a business partner," comments Palie.
Exceeding Expectations
Not only has EFT met all deBoer's expectations, but it has far exceeded them. "Nor only would I be happy to recommend this service to other companies...but I have already done so on numerous occasions." Palie believes that EFT is the tool of the future. "Recommend it? I'd require it!" he says. "It will hasten the day when children see a copy of a paper check and ask their parents 'What was this used for?"'
