Reference remains separate

BRIS describes registry coverage and never increases the verified-source count.

03 What SENTINEL does

A clearer first step in supplier qualification.

SENTINEL helps procurement and supplier qualification teams verify basic legal-entity and VAT information before onboarding a supplier.

Jurisdiction-aware routing sends the query only to applicable official company registries, tax-registration sources and European Commission VIES. Different responses are normalized into one source-attributed record for review.

It does not provide financial, sanctions, AML or credit due diligence.

Jurisdiction-aware
Official sources are selected from the country and identifiers supplied.
Independent evidence
Registry and VAT results remain separate, attributable and honest about gaps.
Reviewable record
Normalized findings, reasoning, timestamps and a downloadable report.

04 How SENTINEL works

From company details to a reviewable record.

A controlled verification workflow for people who need traceable evidence rather than another opaque score.

  1. 01

    Enter company details

    Provide a company name, jurisdiction and the identifiers available to you.

  2. 02

    Route to official sources

    SENTINEL determines which registry and VAT services apply to the country and identifiers supplied.

  3. 03

    Verify independently

    Each applicable source returns its own result without being collapsed into another provider.

  4. 04

    Normalize evidence

    Different official responses become one consistent, source-attributed entity record.

  5. 05

    Review and report

    Inspect the reasoning and generate a PDF record with sources and timestamps.

05 Official source network

Know where every finding comes from.

National legal registries, VAT services and the European reference layer each have a defined role and visible boundary.

Evidence and reference are not the same. BRIS is an official European e-Justice coverage layer. SENTINEL displays it as reference metadata, never as an independently confirmed verification source.

06 What gets verified

The essential facts behind a supplier name.

Available fields differ by jurisdiction and source. SENTINEL reports only what the official response provides.

02Registry status

Current active, inactive or other returned legal state.

03Registration IDs

Official company or national identifiers where available.

04Jurisdiction & address

07Source attribution

Provider, timestamp, mode and reference for each finding.

07 Product preview

A verification view built for decisions.

See the combined outcome first, then inspect every legal, national VAT and EU VAT source on its own terms.
