API and Integrations

Expected Release Date: Q2 2024

We are pleased to be introducing new data points for Swedish Non-Limited Companies, including:

• Directors (other positions) – for example, auditors, external signatory, authorised representative
• Branch offices and registered business name
• Payroll information
• Vehicle information 
• Alcohol permits

Some data sets will also be removed from its current section, due to a movement of the data to another part of the report, these should be handled in your integration for both Connect and GGS.

For GGS users, please note that the only changes impacting your integration will be the removal and changes of some data sets for Swedish Non-Limited Companies. As a legacy API, few new data enhancements are performed on GGS, therefore we recommend that to benefit from these new data sets you consider switching to our Connect API.

Please note! The changes and updates, as detailed in the change document, this time ONLY apply to Non Limited business reports (Connect ID: SE-1-XXXXXXXXXX / GGS ID: SE011/1/XXXXXXXXXX). The updates for Limited reports (Connect ID: SE-0-XXXXXXXXXX / GGS ID: SE011/0/XXXXXXXXXX) has already been released earlier this year.

Expected Release Date: End of April 2024

We are delighted to announce that Creditsafe is moving from our third-party data supplier to officially launch our own database in Austria. This will improve the depth and quality of our Austrian company reports and greatly enhance the data you can retrieve from them.

• New scorecard with Creditsafe score and limits
• 64% uplift in data fields available
• Group structures will be available
• Company & Sole Trader data available with Associations coming in a later phase
• Increase in insolvency data
• Auditors information, historical data on names and addresses
• Local financials and key financials
• Bad debt information will be removed

The new data will also provide updates for some of the other Creditsafe products and services:

Monitoring:

• An increase from four Monitoring events to nine Monitoring events.
• Credit Score and Credit Limits will now be monitored.
• Increasing from monthly event changes to daily event changes.

Check & Decide:

• Existing decisions will be updated to reflect the updated Connect ID for decisions on Austrian companies.

Data Cleaning:

SAP:

• GGS IDs for Austria will be updated to the new IDs.

Our scorecard for limited businesses in Austria will change from a 100 - 699 score range, to adopt the typical Creditsafe 1-100 score range. Our statistical scorecards are renowned for their predictive power, with our new Austrian scorecard achieving a Gini coefficient of 71.

Released: April 18th 2024

The improvements we are making are aimed at summarising the content of a French secondary establishment report so that it only contains information directly linked to that establishment, and not for that of the head office. 

Here is the list of data we are removing from the Secondary Establishment Report:

• Address: Except for contact information directly from the branch
• Directors
• Financial Statements
• Payment Data
• Establishment History
• Gazettes Data

We will also be deleting financial data that had been duplicated in our business reports, further contributing to reduced response times.  Secondary Establishments will also no longer have a score and credit limit associated with it. Where previously they adopted the score of the head office, they now display "Not Scored" and "Credit Limit not applicable". 

These changes are currently available for testing in our Sandbox Environment. 

Released: January 2024
