A previously manual business process such as maintenance of master data and creation of new customer files (or comparison of customer data via several business applications) are now being automated via our interfaces.
The Wirtschafts-Compass API offers a variety of additional integration options based on standardized interfaces. Expand your software solutions (SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, ...) quickly and easily.
Business management & contract management
Information on persons authorised to sign and about ownership structures (e.g. beneficial owners or shareholdings) facilitate your work.
Accounting
Wirtschafts-Compass API is your added value in every-day business, from issuing accurate invoices to the management of accounts payable and receivable.
Controlling & risk management
Trust is good, control is better. The Wirtschafts-Compass API provides balance sheet figures, up-to-date information about liquidity and insolvencies. Additionally: optional access to original documents (articles of association, etc.).
Advantages
Direct integration
Our API allows a direct connection of integrated solutions to all ERP or CRM systems such as BMD, Mesonic or international manufacturers (Microsoft, SAP, etc.), as well as KYC applications, compliance and risk applications.
Official documents
Up-to-date and historical official excerpts from the Business Register, the Beneficial Owners Register, the Central Register of Residents and many more warrant legal certainty, build trust and are binding.
