The Challenge
For professional service firms, every client engagement involves verifying company information from the Companies Register. But this means leaving your workflow, navigating the register portal, retrieving data manually, and copying it back into your system—repeatedly, for every client and every check.
- Context-switching between client management tools and the register portal slows onboarding
- Manual data transcription introduces errors in company name, status, and contact details
- Due diligence requires verified company status, filing history, and current contact information—all retrieved separately
- No automated way to trigger register lookups based on workflow events (e.g., new client created, engagement letter sent)
- Staff time is consumed by administrative lookups rather than professional advisory work
The Autohive Solution
Autohive integrates Companies Register lookups natively into your client-facing workflows, triggering real-time data retrieval and surfacing verified company information exactly where and when your team needs it.
Real-Time Company Status Verification
Retrieve verified company status, registration details, and contact information for any NZ registered company using its NZBN—triggered automatically when a new client is created or a due diligence check is initiated.
Filing History and Annual Return Status
Access annual return information and filing status as part of onboarding or compliance reviews, giving advisors immediate visibility into a company’s compliance standing without manual register navigation.
Automated Due Diligence Data Collection
Build due diligence workflows that automatically collect and compile Companies Register data—company status, registered contacts, addresses, and ETag-confirmed current details—into structured client records.
