Latest enhancements to Check & Decide

Released: September 2024

We are excited to let you know about the recent enhancements to Check & Decide.

International Risk Template

You can now use a single template across all your customers and portfolios by leveraging local data points from Creditsafe countries. You can manage all your entities with one decision tree, ensuring consistent and comprehensive risk assessments across the globe. You can include and exclude the parameters relevant to your check and enter the 'Total Current Annual Contract Value' and 'New Sales Amount' values when configuring your template.

Email Alerts for Referred Decisions

When a decision is referred to a specific user, they will automatically receive an email to notify them that an action is required on a decision. The alerts prevent the bottlenecking of decisions and ensure a swift resolution.

User Access Management

Easily assign different levels of permission and visibility to specific users of Check & Decide. You will have an overview of all users and their existing roles and permissions so you can change them as required.

Compliance Data now coming from KYC Protect

If you currently utilise compliance-related data in your decision tree templates, this will now come from our brand-new solution called KYC Protect. This won’t have any impact on how you use your template but will enhance the accuracy of the data that is coming through.

Introduction of Max Input Limit feature for UK Templates

Released: Q1 2024

We are excited to announce the introduction of the Max Input Limit feature, a significant enhancement to the templated decision trees, now available for UK Default and Contract Limit. This feature introduces a mechanism for managing high-risk decisions by setting a threshold limit on input values, ensuring that decisions exceeding a certain value are automatically referred for further evaluation.

Key features and benefits

  • Max Input definition: A pre-defined input limit evaluated during the OTS tree decision-making process, enhancing the control over high-value decisions.
  • Automatic referral: Decisions where the input value exceeds the set threshold are automatically referred for an alternative assessment, streamlining the decision-making process.
  • Template configuration: Both customers and Creditsafe Admins can configure the Max Input during the template configuration phase, allowing for a flexible adaptation to different risk management strategies.
  • Instant customisation: Gives users the option to customise including the Max Input feature in individual templated trees, offering tailored decision-making models to fit specific requirements.
  • Execution phase evaluation: During decision execution, the Max Input value is evaluated, and if exceeded, triggers the referral process, ensuring that high-risk decisions are appropriately managed.
  • User-defined threshold: Users can define the Max Input threshold, with a wide numerical range from 0 to 9999999999999, allowing for precise control over decision criteria.
  • Optional feature: The Max Input threshold feature is optional, offering users the choice to include it in their decision model based on their specific risk assessment policies.

Check & Decide Wording Customisation Update

Released: Q1 2024

You now have the option to customise the wording used for the output values in your decision tree, giving you more flexibility to use the terminology that is familiar to your teams. The default output values are currently 'Accept, Reject and Refer' and you might now choose to change them to 'Yes, No and Maybe'.

This customisation is just one of the ways that Check & Decide now gives you even more control over your decision trees.
