Albany’s technology solution, Conect™️ helps to manage and organise all regulatory, compliance, contractual and professional needs of any extensive supply chain, allowing companies to identify risk and stay compliant. The software also allows insurers to create a bespoke global network with their partners for seamless collaboration. 

Stewart Griffiths, CEO and co-founder of Albany Group said: “We’re extremely pleased to announce this partnership with Creditsafe. With supplier management and risk being highly scrutinised by the regulators, the insurance industry must be a step ahead by enhancing its visibility and staying on top of any potential risks. Data alone does not solve anything, it's how that data is harnessed and analysed which will make the difference."
