Founded in 1918 in Wichita, KS, Pioneer Ballon (SAFE# US86867542) manufactures latex and Microfoil balloons.
In a conversation with their Credit Strategies Manager, Chris Birdwell, he explained how they were inconsistently able to obtain data on smaller businesses which was slowing down their ability to onboard new customers with commercial credit. Additionally, he was frustrated with the high costs of international reports from his previous provider.
Bad data limited ability to extend credit
Value was lacking from previous provider
High Costs of international reports
To maximize the value Pioneer Ballon could get from our tools, we set Chris up with access to our self-service platform that would let him run unlimited reports on the small businesses in our network as well as access to our global database of quality and affordable business credit reports
In addition, Creditsafe is constantly iterating on it's tools to avoid complacency and provide greater service and value to our customers.
Financial data enabled them to make better informed and prudent small business credit decisions
Decreased annual international credit insurance reporting costs by 25%
Gained a fresh perspective and confidence
There are a lot of credit reporting companies offering their own unique strengths and weaknesses. While most have become somewhat complacent, Creditsafe has been constantly reinventing themselves and provide the Credit Strategies Team at Pioneer a fresher perspective and level of confidence into an applicant’s credit worthiness for a fraction of the cost.
