Driven by data

We are deeply passionate about data.

It drives what we do. It guides our work and pushes us towards new territory.

Our data enables us to provide superior services, from credit risk analysis to marketing solutions to managing non-performing loans and bad debt.

Working across Italy, over 30,000 businesses and financial institutions rely on us in all phases of their work.

Within our group we also boast one of the leading credit rating agencies in Europe.

Drive on data. Thrive on data.

CREDIT INFORMATION
With our proprietary data, decision-making systems, valuation models and technological solutions, we can help you manage the risks and opportunities inherent in your commercial relations and assess your business partners’ financial profiles to determine how creditworthy they are.

In 2017 alone, 1.5 trillion euros worth of loans and credit lines were granted with support from information and services we provided.

MARKETING SOLUTIONS
We offer digital marketing solutions, seek out new algorithms for profiling and lead qualification services, and we diligently study the market and individual sectors to help our clients find new business opportunities.

We generated 540,000 new business leads in 2017.

CREDIT MANAGEMENT
We help banks and businesses throughout the entire process of collecting non-performing loans or unpaid receivables and the assets related to them: from out-of-court settlements to legal advice and even remarketing repossessed assets.

We managed 45,8 billion euros worth of non-performing loans and receivables in arrears, as well as thousands of real estate assets and movable properties connected with previous lease contracts.

No matter how complicated their situation, no matter where they work. We're the ones who help them do better.Every day, everywhere. With our technology. With our data, platforms and services. But above all, with our people.
