KVK connector

Use KVK Handelsregister data for KYC, prospecting and risk monitoring.

Data Panda pulls the Dutch Chamber of Commerce register next to your CRM, ERP and KYC stack. From one place, we turn it into customer due-diligence checks, prospect lists and change alerts your team uses every day.

About KVK

The system of record for Dutch business identity.

KVK, short for Kamer van Koophandel, is the Dutch Chamber of Commerce. It is a zelfstandig bestuursorgaan (an autonomous public body) under the Ministry of Economic Affairs, and it keeps the Handelsregister, the official Dutch business register that every company, sole trader, foundation and association in the Netherlands has to be listed in. Alongside the Handelsregister, KVK also runs the UBO register and the disqualified-directors register.

The point of pulling KVK into a warehouse is that the Handelsregister is the only place where Dutch business identity is authoritative. KVK-nummer, vestigingsnummer, statutory and trade names, registered address, legal form, SBI activity codes, board members and registration status all originate here. Putting that next to the CRM, the ERP and the KYC stack turns one-off lookups into a continuous feed: a director removal, an address change or a status going from actief to uitgeschreven shows up the next morning instead of the next audit.

Real business questions

Answers you will finally get.

Which of our customers are no longer actively registered?

A daily join of the customer table to the Handelsregister flags counterparties whose status has gone to uitgeschreven, with the date and the trigger (liquidation, merger, deregistration). The credit and AR teams act before the next invoice goes out, instead of finding out from a bounced direct debit.

Which prospects really fit our ICP?

SBI activity codes, legal form, employee size class and region from the Handelsregister are crossed with the win history. The result is a target list that matches the customers Data Panda already wins, instead of a list assembled by gut feel from a free-text industry field.

Which suppliers had a board change this month?

A change-data feed from KVK on the supplier list highlights new directors, removed directors and ownership shifts, with the date of change. AML, procurement and credit reviews go to the suppliers whose register moved that week, not to the whole base on a fixed schedule.

Value for everyone in the organisation

Where each function gets value.

For finance leaders

Debtor and creditor masters joined to the live Handelsregister, with KVK status and director changes feeding the credit and AML checklist. The first sign of a customer in trouble stops being a missed payment.

For sales leaders

Prospect lists drawn on SBI codes and legal form, plus a one-click KVK profile on every account. Call-prep starts from the register instead of from a half-filled CRM card.

For operations

A single watchlist of every Dutch counterparty's KVK status and address. Onboarding, offboarding and master-data cleanup work from the same feed instead of three separate spreadsheets.

Ideas

What you can automate with KVK.

Pair with HubSpot

Enrich HubSpot companies from the KVK Handelsregister

When a company is created or updated in HubSpot, the KVK-nummer, statutory name, address, legal form, SBI activity codes and director list are filled from the Handelsregister. Sales sees a complete Dutch profile on the first call instead of typing it from kvk.nl, and the company status (actief, uitgeschreven) is kept in sync so old prospects do not stay live in the pipeline.

Pair with Salesforce

Match Salesforce accounts to KVK and watch for status changes

Salesforce accounts in the Netherlands are matched to a KVK-nummer once and then watched on the Handelsregister for status, address, name and director changes. A daily delta lands on the account record so account managers see, on the next opportunity, that their contact is no longer in the register or that the company moved address last week.

Pair with Exact Online

Verify Exact Online debtors and creditors against KVK

Every debtor and creditor in Exact Online is linked to a KVK-nummer, with address, legal form and bank-relationship status reconciled. When a debtor's KVK status flips to uitgeschreven or its address changes, finance gets a flag on the next invoice run, instead of finding out via a returned reminder. Sole traders and BVs get the right credit and dunning treatment because the legal form is correct.

Pair with MS Dynamics 365 Business Central

Keep Business Central customer and vendor masters tied to KVK

New customers and vendors in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central are created from a KVK-nummer lookup, so name, address, legal form and SBI activity land in the right fields the first time. A nightly job re-checks the active set against the Handelsregister and posts changes back, so the master data in BC stays the same as the public register without a monthly clean-up sprint.

Pair with Slack

Slack alerts on KVK status and director changes

A daily KVK delta on the customer and supplier base posts to a Slack channel: status changes to uitgeschreven, new or removed directors, address moves and renames. Credit, AML and account management see the change on the same day in the channel they already watch, instead of waiting for the next quarterly review.

Pair with monday.com

Drive monday.com onboarding boards from a KVK-nummer

A KYC or vendor-onboarding board on monday.com starts from a KVK-nummer entered once. The Handelsregister fills the company fields, attaches the directors and SBI codes, and updates the row when the register changes during the onboarding window. The team works one board instead of switching between kvk.nl, the CRM and a checklist Excel.

Before you book

Frequently asked questions.

Who owns the data?

You do. It lands in your warehouse, on your cloud account. We don't resell or aggregate it. If you stop working with us, the warehouse stays yours and keeps running.

How fresh is the data?

Near real time for most operational systems. For heavier sources we schedule hourly or nightly. You pick based on what the reports need.

Do I need a warehouse already?

No. If you don't have one, we help you pick one and set it up as part of the first delivery. Common starting points are Snowflake, Microsoft Fabric, or a small Postgres start.

Is KVK the same as the Belgian KBO?

No. KVK is the Dutch Chamber of Commerce and the Handelsregister covers the Netherlands. The Belgian equivalent is the Kruispuntbank van Ondernemingen (KBO), run by FOD Economie. Groups operating in both countries need both feeds: the KVK connector for Dutch entities, the KBO connector for Belgian ones.

What does it take to get access to the KVK API?

KVK runs a developer portal with subscription-based products: Zoeken (search), Basisprofiel, Vestigingsprofiel and Naamgeving for the public register, plus the UBO uittreksel for the parties that are legally allowed to consume it (financial institutions and notaries). Access is per API key, with a test environment for integration work. Data Panda handles the registration, the key management and the rate-limit handling so the warehouse just sees the tables.
