Monitoring

Why a one off check is not enough

A check tells you where a company stands today. If you deal with it for months or years, today is not the question that matters most.

A check ages the moment you finish it

The public record changes. A company that was registered and healthy when you onboarded it can change status later. If you only ever checked once, you will find out about the change after it affects you, not before.

Monitoring turns a snapshot into an alert

Monitoring watches the entity and tells you when something on the record changes. For the suppliers you depend on, the customers you give credit to and the partners whose standing affects yours, that early warning is the whole point.

What to monitor

  • Key suppliers you could not easily replace.
  • Customers on meaningful credit terms.
  • Partners and counterparties in long running arrangements.

Questions and answers

How often should monitoring check for changes?

Often enough that you hear about a change while you can still act. Daily monitoring on the entities that matter most is a reasonable default.
