Are you looking to manage risk in your SME portfolios?

Currently SMEs account for less than 10%* of the current customer base of nearly half of all firms (43%). By 2021, 39% of firms expect SMEs to make up more than 21% of their customer base. However, lack of data and insight creates multiple challenges: 

  • Difficulty in identifying higher quality SMEs
  • Limited data available
  • Complex service requirements (managing high default risk, meeting diverse needs, pricing implications)
  • Unclear portfolio classification - Retail or Corporate ?

New data and insights help unlock value across your customers'  lifecycle without changing overall risk appetite.

About Web Data Insights

Experian is proud to present our innovative Web Data-based Business Application Risk Score solution Web Data Insights (WDI). WDI uses machine learning and advanced data science to generate entirely new predictive data variables. This results in models that enable you to add a new dimension to your credit risk management across the end customer cycle (while you can expect to be fully compliant).

For example, by combining WDI with traditional Business Data a 36% reduction in rejections or a 37% reduction in defaults is possible.

How does it work?

Our comprehensive end-to-end WDI solution acquires new non traditional data insights. It covers web crawling, site classification, text mining, segmentation analysis and machine learning models. Each account from a pre-defined sample is analysed, and searched for on the internet with publicly-available information collected – an automated process known as ‘crawling’ or web data scraping.

Information is then classified under various categories by sophisticated text mining algorithms, before meaningful and relevant information is converted into usable data. From there, differing text mining and sentiment analysis methods can be applied to order unstructured data and create a fresh base of predictive variables. 

Web Data Insights assess customer behaviour through on-line presence measurement. It enables companies to add value to their existing matrix for portfolio evaluation.
