Printing Industry Credit Executives, Inc.

Over the last 25 years, PICE has developed a variety of credit tools that help busy credit professionals do their jobs more effectively. The most important of these tools are described below.

	Credit Exchange. A state of the art Internet-based credit exchange developed by and for PICE that contains data on nearly 25,000 accounts. The database is easy to search and is updated regularly through: inquires and responses; "flash" and "past due" reports; and member data submitted monthly. More...

	DSO Surveys. Participation in the quarterly Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) surveys enables members to compare their collections against others in the industry. As part of the fourth quarter DSO survey, members may also participate in the "Year-End Bad Debt" information review, which focuses on reserve for bad debts and write-offs. More...

	Peer Networking. As true in any close-knit organization, PICE members often rely on each other for advice and information on credit and collection matters. And members are happy to field phone and email communications from their peers in the association on these and other subjects. More...

The president of PICE, Bart Alsteen of Banta Book Group, characterized the value of the association's credit exchange and other products as follows: "PICE has always been the added 'extra' in my credit tool box. I know that the information I obtain is always credible, reliable, and beyond reproach. I can always count on PICE and do when making all of my credit decisions."
