Should small and micro businesses check their counterparties and how to do it on a budget
— How can the process of checking counterparties be automated and what benefits does this provide?
— Classic (non-automated) counterparty verification may look like qatar phone number data studying a large number of open sources by the company's TIN and bringing it into a report, studying it and highlighting risk factors. But almost no one does this anymore, since there are many counterparty verification services that will quickly collect all the data in 1 report and highlight risk factors. This saves a lot of time, but what if you need it even faster, and in some cases without human intervention at all? And what if the data needs to be uploaded to your accounting system or CRM? A number of services have an open API (a software interface that allows you to link different applications) specifically for this purpose, with the help of which the counterparty verification service can be integrated with your CRM. This makes it possible to upload the data necessary for verification directly to the company or transaction card in real time, generate the necessary reports, as well as monitor important indicators (for example, the beginning of bankruptcy proceedings) online and notify responsible persons about important changes. It becomes possible to set any verification mechanisms, and if the main indicators are in order, then human labor costs can be excluded altogether.
Since we specialize in the implementation of Bitrix24 CRM and automation of counterparty verification is a fairly popular request among our clients, we have already developed 3 different solutions to meet such needs:
An integration application with the Kontur.Fokus service “Counterparty verification. Report from Kontur.Fokus” . This is a product with fine settings and extensive capabilities, created for professionals in the field of jurisprudence, security services and compliance;
The Business Scanner application , created specifically for small and micro businesses;
Telegram bot “Business Scanner” for quick verification of a counterparty by TIN from a phone, without the need to install any applications.
— What are the key differences between the process of checking contractors for large and small businesses? Why was there a need for the Business Scanner application?
— Firstly, small and micro businesses often lack the competence to properly check counterparties, and there is no lawyer or security specialist on staff. They do not know how to properly assess risk factors. Secondly, the solutions that exist on the market are quite expensive. Paying several hundred thousand rubles a year is simply too expensive for a small company.
In "Business Scanner", we took both problems into account. The application was created with the participation of experienced lawyers and it implements so-called presets. You simply select groups of indicators that you want to monitor (for example, overall reliability, arbitration, tax risks, bankruptcy), and the indicators that are important for tracking appear in your company card. And we made the cost of the application affordable by reducing the number of checks per year. In our practice, small companies check dozens, maximum hundreds of counterparties per year and they do not need to buy out requests in thousands. For example, 50 unique TIN requests in Business Scanner cost only 16,600 rubles per year.
