  How does our Credit Manage approach differ from yours?
  Typically a Credit Department will be required to have the sales team provide them with:
  - Credit Account Application
  - Directors Guarantee
  - PPSR registration agreements
  - Trade References
  Whereupon the back office team will then process the application by;
  - doing an ASIC company search
  - Validating the ABR - that ABN provided is GST registered and “current”
  - Performing a Company “Credit” search, to check any Court or Creditor violations (Current & Historical
  - Consider the relationship between Directors and other related entities, and their current status.
  - Assess the requested Credit Limit (most often with no historical data on which to base their decision)
  In using the HorecaMarket.Global platform, you do not have to do this anymore.
  Credit is assessed as a Cooperative – what do we mean by this?
  HorecaMarket.Global manages Credit centrally and takes all responsibility - so you no longer need to.
  If you have signed up to use our SIF (Single Invoice Financing) solution, HorecaMarket.Global will pay you within 48 hours. The invoice has been sold for payment to our Financing Partner, who are responsible for all the necessary checks and validations.
  Given the Financing Partner has purchased the debt, you as a Vendor have NO Recourse if the Customer now fails to pay the Financing Partner.
  This is the simplest way to manage Credit in a modern Covid-19 risk environment.
- What is PPSR ?
  What is a PPSR Search?
  A PPSR Search is a search of the PPS Register (PPSR) for "security interests" against a business entity, or individual. Sourcing credit information helps to assess the level of financial risk.
  Why do I need to do PPS Searches?
  There are many reasons:
  The PPS Register holds the details of security interests. Searching the register can provide information about the security interest, which can help influence business decisions.
  This information includes the Secured Party Group details, Grantor details and other relevant information about the type of property, or line of credit, recorded on the PPS Register.
  Certain assets, such as Motor Vehicles, may have a security interest registered against them. It is important to be aware of this security interest before purchasing these types of assets.
  When deciding whether to offer, or extend, commercial credit to a customer, a search of the register can reveal important information about the customer’s existing obligations.
  When buying a business, searches can provide a list of current secured creditors.
  Why is the HorecaMarket.Globals' platform better?
  PPS Searches can be done directly through the PPSR website. However that site has a cumbersome and slow interface and requires payment by credit card. In contrast, HorecaMarket.Global offers the following features that are not available on the Government PPSR website:
  Validated Searching (ie a validation of ACN/ABN before search)
  A summary results page that actually has useful information on it including the Secured Party Group.
  Automatic background downloading of all search certificates and attachments.
  The ability to download multiple search certificates in one click as a single PDF file.
  The ability to download a zip file containing the PDFs of certificates and attachments as individual files.
  All search certificates and attachments are stored with your search result indefinitely thus allowing you to retrieve a search certificate or attachment (as it was at the time of the search) days, weeks or months after the search was done without incurring extra cost.
  A single monthly invoice (ie no need to pay for each search as you do it).
  Why should I choose HorecaMarket.Globals' platform?
  With multiple credit information services in one convenient location, we make it easy and quick to register, search and manage all of your PPS needs. It’s the simplest way to protect yourself, and your business, against the credit risks of trading in Australia.

- How do we Data Match Customer and Vendor data?
  Data Matching
  Data matching, otherwise referred to as data-cleaning or entity verification, is the process of identifying the correct legal name and identifiers of any given commercial database, usually an ERP file of customer records or a debtors ledger.
  Data matching is accepted as an important best practice and process improvement initiative within credit risk management by ensuring that you know who you are dealing with. Data matching facilitates accurate de-duplication or cross-analysis of common customers. One of the benefits is a reduction in external collection cost in the event of debtor non-performance.
  Data-cleaning is also essential in the preparation of business files for the correct registration of interests on the PPSR.
  Data-cleaning involves the matching of customer or debtor records against both the ASIC and Australian Business Register databases and third party databases.
  This verification process authenticates the correct legal name and status of the company and appends the correct ABN and ACN or ARBN for each record.
  PPSR is one example of an excellent reason to cleanse your customer database. However there are many other business imperatives to verify your customer legal entities including the need to facilitate system integrations, and the migration of platforms in the event of growth by acquisition.
  HorecaMarket.Global does this, so you don’t have to.
  Electronic Data Cleansing and Verification
  HorecaMarket.Global has developed leading data cleansing capabilities which enables large files, typically customer or debtor records, to be validated to confirm their correct legal name and legal identifier.
  The HorecaMarket.Global solution is an advanced Electronic data-matching and ledger entity verification service which validates submitted data against ASIC, the Australian Business Register and ARBN databases. The system confirms the existence of a valid ABN and/or ACN and verifies the correct legal name corresponding to that identifier. Once matching has been completed the file is returned to the HorecaMarket.Global client including the original and validated records to enable import back into existing legacy systems as required.
  Ledger Cleansing Portal
  For a large number of poor quality files, HorecaMarket.Global can provide the unique option of the its data analytics portal. The HorecaMarket.Global analytics portal is a hybrid, semi – manual and electronic method of interactively matching records which cannot be matched during the electronic matching process. Some records can’t be accurately matched simply based on clever algorithms and must be manually viewed - we do this very efficiently.
  Key features include the facility for multiple projects to be run concurrently, task allocation, performance and statistics analysis, as well as download and search capabilities. The system can also link to mail generation & phone systems for call centre staff if required.
  The portal also links to the HorecaMarket.Global PPS management portal so as to provide a seamless link between both solutions and a highly effective mechanism for registering and uploading large number of debtors onto the PPS in an accurate and efficient manner.
  The portal can operate multiple concurrent projects while providing important statistics. Summary tables assist management review and oversee the quality of the customer records – as well as those that may potentially be registered on the PPS.
