Testimonials:

As a credit manager responsible for thousands of accounts, I find the PPAI Credit Services powered by Forius invaluable for several reasons. The first is the credit reports which are more relevant than a generic credit report as the companies reporting their information are specific to this industry and information is updated monthly.  The second is the e-flash reports which provide immediate notification of any major change to a distributor whether it be payment trend or new ownership.  The biggest benefit to being part of this group is the relationships forged with my peers. At a given meeting there is literally hundreds of years of credit experience in the room, and their knowledge and willingness to share openly about best practices simply can’t be found elsewhere.
