The Resilience Index
Since May 20th, Ellisphere has enriched its BtoB information solution, Ellipro, with a new index taking into account the impact of the Covid-19 crisis.
With the deconfinement, the gradual restart of activities requires that companies benefit from updated information on their trading partners, which takes into account the impact of the crisis. However, existing tools risk management practices are not always sufficient to fully appreciate the situation of business partners. The backdrop to this is a brutal and highly changing economic reality.
In order to provide the best support possible to companies, Ellisphere has gathered its experts - credit analysts, specialists in sector analysis, data scientists, IT experts. This mobilisation has led to the creation of a brand-new innovative tool, the Covid resilience index that must be placed at the centre of customer and supplier risk management.
"The Covid Resilience Index is a valuable tool for business leaders and decision-makers to help them to manage their customer and supplier risks by being in line with economic reality." concludes Valérie Attia.
DESCRIPTION
The index is based on a sectoral and financial approach. A dynamic index presented in the form of a colour tablet: green – orange – red – grey; green being the best rating, red the worst (grey is for the non-evaluated).
These two methods combined make it possible to create two indicators:
The sectoral indicator, worked out very finely by NAF, highlights the more or less "risky" activities.
The financial indicator (which is built on criteria applied to typologies of company populations, crossed with specific financial ratios) classifies companies according to their prior level of fragility before the crisis.
The resilience index is thus determined by a transcodification matrix of these two indicators. It makes it possible to categorize the company's credit risk related to the Covid crisis. It is regularly updated by the evolution of the variables making up the sectoral and financial indicators.
