Discover how Serrala’s solutions are transforming the way media and entertainment businesses handle their finances
Koch Media – centralizing credit control for an international growth market
Koch Media Group is a part of the Swedish company THQ Nordic AB, and a leading producer and marketer of digital entertainment products including films, games, software, and merchandising. The group has 25 years of experience in digital media distribution and is established as the number one publishing partner in Europe.
The group relies on credit insurances to secure its merchandise business, providing effective protection against bad debt losses and the threat of insolvency due to defaulting payers. As a result of high growth rates, M&A activities, and international customer groups, Koch realised that its old systems for managing its credit insurances were no longer viable. The business needed a way to effectively administer its obligations and insurance limits and organize follow-up processes.
Serrala’s Credit Insurance Solution allows employees to request insurance limits easily and quickly, automatically collect them, store them in their ERP system, and organize follow-up processes. Making it easy to evaluate all customer debtors, creditors, and insurance limits. Since the solution’s introduction, bad debt losses have decreased significantly and all default risks are centrally managed.
By using the Credit Insurance tool, we were able to achieve enormous rationalization as well as a central and quick overview of day-to-day business. All risk-relevant information on several company codes are available to us at the touch of a button for the entire group worldwide in real time.
