Connect

The customised process platform for evaluating your Business Partners in SAP

In the current economic climate, you need to quickly and efficiently evaluate and
analyse your business partners to make the right decisions for your organisation.

D&B Connect integrates into your own SAP system, giving you online access to Dun & Bradstreet’s global commercial data on more than 225 million companies in more than 200 countries. It takes away the time consuming and potential errors of manual data entry from various departments. By integrating D&B’s leading data into your existing workflows, it provides a customised solution to make informed decisions for all business processes across credit risk management, procurement, sales, marketing and data management.

D&B Connect offers 5 modules which integrate seamlessly with your SAP system:

	Core module The Core module is the heart of D&B Connect enabling you to request Dun & Bradstreet’s risk information on your Business Partners both locally and globally. Your onboarding process will be simplified and you will be notified automatically when there are changes on your Business Partners. D&B Connect allows you to enter your own threshold values in order to mark changes as potential risk. Additionally, D&B Connect has integrated workflow capabilities enabling you to setup tasks and actions triggered by your own data and D&B data, which further optimises your business processes.

Master Data Management module This module ensures a clean and up-to-date Business Partner database in your SAP system. Master records can be created easily, making sure that duplicate records are merged and stored.

	Global Decision Maker module Do you wish to automate your credit applications? The GDM module is the ideal tool to make quick and underpinned credit decisions. Based on your insight and policies, a decision tree is implemented. The decision engine will generate credit advice using the input details of the credit application and Dun & Bradstreet’s credit risk information.
Compliance module The Compliance module supports your Due Diligence policy in order to minimise regulatory and reputational risk. You can now screen your Business Partner or associated individuals on sanctions using the most important lists from the EU, UK and US or being ‘politically exposed’ (PEP).
	DunTrade module The DunTrade module delivers insight into the payment behaviour of your business partners, enabling you to further optimise your collections process and cash flow. The DunTrade® Program collects payment information from companies, giving you a better idea of their payment behaviour to suppliers and the likelihood of a company succeeding or becoming insolvent. And that's essential information. The DunTrade Program is now also integrated into D&B Connect.
