Find out how to minimise
risk and be confident in
your cashflow cycle
Centrix gives tourism businesses greater confidence when providing products and services to customers in advance of payment.
To reduce risk, you can use Centrix business credit reports to credit check your new and existing customers. Credit checking will give you insight into the likelihood that your customer will pay you on time.
Every business has a credit score between 1 – 1,000, based on credit payment history. The higher the score the more likely you are to get paid.
Alerts monitoring will help you to manage existing customer risk. Receive alerts when your customers and suppliers credit position changes to mitigate disruption to your cashflow and supply chain.
