Tradeshow Credit Reports

Background
 
As part of its recommendation to assist EACA members with recommendations to better secure the credit and collections of outstanding receivables, the Ad Hoc Committee on Billing & Collections has determined that a Tradeshow Credit Report (TCR) system would have great value.
 
The TCR system would enable those EACA members who chose to subscribe to this system to review aggregate AR reports of specific clients whose credit and payment histories they would care to monitor.
 
 
Technical Development  
 
The EACA Tradeshow Credit Report (TCR) system is available now to all Charter Members of the system, and will be officially launched as of September 1, 2006.      Licenses to the TCR system can be obtained from the EACA and are detailed on page 2 of this document.       EACA members who acquire TCR licenses will be invoiced for the license fees and report charges from the EACA.
 
As a pre-requisite of the EACA TCR subscription agreement, all subscribing members will be required to submit AR data on a monthly basis to the system.
 
 
Subscriber Fees / Benefits  
 
The EACA Tradeshow Credit Report (TCR) system is available to all members who are interested to subscribe to the system.
 
Subscriber fees on the TCR system are available in two types of fee schedules. There will also be advantaged rates for members who are Charter Subscribers to the system and subscribe for the first time prior to August 31, 2006.     Any members that subscribe to the TCR system during the Charter period will maintain the advantaged Charter rates as long as the member remains an active EACA member and keeps their subscriber account current.
 
Charter Member subscribers can obtain a limited license to the EACA TCR for $350 per year and can then obtain reports for a subscriber fee of $4 per report.     The regular member rate after the Charter period is over will be $450 annually and $5 per report.
 
Schedule B – Unlimited License
Charter Member subscribers can obtain an unlimited license to the EACA TCR for $1000 per year and can then obtain an unlimited number of reports annually at no additional charge. The regular member rate after the Charter period is over will be $1500 annually with an unlimited number of reports at no additional charge.
Note:   Whether a member chooses to sign up for a license to the EACA TCR system under Schedule A or B, member subscribers will be required, as part of their license agreement, to contribute data monthly to the system.
 
 
Cost Comparison to D&B
The information contained in the EACA TCR system will not only be trade show specific, it will create a significant cost savings as well as compared to D&B.
 
Note:   The following chart illustrates the effective cost per report for the EACA TCR system as compared to D&B.     As you order more reports from the EACA TCR the cost per report goes down (not available from D&B).   
 
If you order 14 or more credit reports per month (162/yr.) it is advisable to get an Unlimited TCR license – Schedule B.
