3 CIM: our referring market

Business Information

  • The barriers to entering the market for standard products and services are not affected
  • The market segment for small companies is particularly difficult to attack due to the presence of particularly aggressive players on the pricing side (e.g. CreditSafe)
  • The demand is progressively moving towards products supporting data driven processes, with a strong push to create predictive indicators by exploiting machine learning models based on the use of proprietary data and customer data.

Credit Management

  • The Banking sector is heavily impacted by the new regulations and the interventions of the '' regulators '' (ECB, Bankit), which lead to reviewing the credit management rules. The offer must therefore be differentiated on the assessment and management of credits in the various maturity stages.
  • The evolution of the technological platforms in a logic of "selective outsourcing" of the various phases of management of stock of practices are profoundly changing the market and the competitive context, contributing to the efficiency of the processes, the containment of processing times and the reduction of management costs.

Immobiliare

  • The demand is basically linked to the performance of the banking market and the demand for new mortgages. It was positively affected by regulatory discontinuities which led to a significant increase in demand

Innolva RI:

  • Creation of a new legal entity with vertical skills and high specialization for the production of investigative services aimed at credit recovery and NPE management
