Credit application details include:

  • Business Name
  • Tax ID
  • Type of Legal Entity
  • Dun & Bradstreet Number

As the application moves through the process, its status updates from Received to Sent, while the application remains connected to the customer's credit information.

Keep the Credit Request Connected

When a customer asks for a new credit limit or an increase, the request stays connected to the account and its credit information.

  • Track new credit applications
  • Track requests for new or higher credit limits
  • Connect each application to the customer's Credit Risk Score Card
  • Keep customer and credit information together in Salesforce

See Customer Credit Risk in One Score

Credit information can be spread across bureau reports, payment records, spreadsheets, and account notes. Quick Receivable brings key signals together into one Credit Risk Score so your team can review customer risk without piecing the information together manually.

Dispute Exposure on Every Account

Track Credit Requests From Start to Decision

Credit management does not stop when a customer submits an application. Customers may ask for a new credit limit, a higher limit, or a change in their existing terms. Quick Receivable keeps these requests connected to the customer's account and credit information.

  • Track credit requests – see requests for new or increased credit limits
  • Keep requests tied to the account – review the request alongside the customer's existing credit information
  • Review risk before increasing exposure – use the customer's Credit Risk Score and payment behavior as part of your review
  • Keep a clear record – maintain the request and decision history inside Salesforce

Manage Credit With the Full AR Picture

Credit decisions are stronger when your team can see what is happening after credit is extended. Quick Receivable connects credit information with the rest of your accounts receivable data inside Salesforce.

Your team can review credit risk alongside:

  • Accounts receivable balances
  • Past-due amounts
  • Payment behavior
  • Broken payment promises
  • Invoice disputes
  • Credit exposure
  • Customer tenure

This helps your credit team look beyond a single credit report and understand how the customer is actually behaving with your business.
