Our vision

Thanks to our indicators on your third parties, you can know the risks related to establishing or maintaining a relationship: the failure score allows you to predict the start of collective procedures by a company several months in advance, payment habits allow you to see if your customers, suppliers or prospects are good or bad payers and the compliance score informs you about the good character of your third parties.

Other indicators, such as the appetite score or the business activity score, help you achieve your business objectives.We thereby allow you to see into the future and make informed choices about who you want to do business with.

Our teams are committed to the success of your projects and support you in your approach and quest for sustainable development.

As an expert in business information, Altares collects, structures, analyses and enriches BtoB data to make it “smart” and facilitate decision-making for the general and operational management of businesses. The group offers its expertise across the entire data value chain. As the exclusive partner in France, Benelux and North Africa of Dun & Bradstreet, the leading international BtoB information network, Altares positions itself as the partner of choice for large companies, SMEs and public organisations, offering them privileged access to its databases on 500 million companies in 220 countries.
Created in 1841, Dun & Bradstreet’s name was “The Mercantile Agency”. This American company specialised in publishing corporate data. Recognising the need for a centralised credit reporting system, Lewis Tappan, its founder, wanted to create a network of correspondents providing reliable and objective credit information, to those who subscribed to this “information base”. Altares has been a partner of the Dun & Bradstreet group since 2004, with the merger of Dun & Bradstreet France and BIL (Bureau d’Informations Légales). A few years later, the company took on its current name.
CSR is part of Altares’ strategy and aims to ensure that the company assumes its responsibility towards the planet and society, and that it integrates social and environmental concerns into its business activities and relationships with its stakeholders.
Big Data, Data intelligence, NPL, business intelligence and compliance make sense to you, and make up the daily life of Altares’ teams! To develop new products and solutions, and to continue to innovate and to support the group’s growth, Altares is recruiting various profiles in the fields of Marketing, Data, IT development and Sales.
