Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are currently using D&B Connect for account level information to integrate to our customer database to populate firmographics. We found that other companies information was less trustworthy than Dunn and Bradstreet and decided to segregate the data between two sources: Firmographics and Demographics. D&B Connect was used as Firmographics as we found their information the most accurate.

Pros

  • Number of Employees
  • Number of Locations
  • Annual Revenue
  • Headquarter locations

Cons

  • Contact information
  • Ease of connections - some error message are difficult to decipher
  • More intutive connection

Return on Investment

  • They provided access to their extensive database allowing our teams to segregate customer accounts
  • Allow us to classify accounts based on information for the CS teams
  • Trust in the overall numbers provided has increased

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

D&B Connect is truly a lifeline to our company when evaluating potential customers and reviewing current customers' financial health. We utilize the program weekly, and it allows our teams to get a more in-depth look at who we're doing business with. I highly recommend the program. The only slight downside is the overall cost, which is higher than we would like.

Pros

  • Customer Financial Health.
  • Customer Payment History.
  • Domestic & International Use (for an additional fee).

Cons

  • The cost is high.
  • International reviews are not included (additional fee).

Return on Investment

  • It has allowed us to determine customers' creditworthiness and request payment in advance from those who do not meet our criteria.
