A reviewer enters an IČO; the tool pulls data from six registers in parallel, sums aid across the whole group of connected companies and returns a decision with an evidence report. - Client: TREXIMA Bratislava, spol. s r.o. - Year: 2026 - Services: Web App, Automatizácia, Compliance ## Checking a de minimis aid applicant – data from six registers and sources TREXIMA Bratislava works in labour-market and compensation research and handles the administration of the DM-08/2024 de minimis aid scheme. For every applicant someone has to check whether they're eligible at all — and the data for that is scattered across six registers and sources. Directors and shareholders are in the business register, financial statements in RÚZ, company connections in Transparex, aid already granted in IS SEMP. Verifier searches them all at once, cross-checks them and returns one decision with reasons. It's an internal tool behind a login, not a public website. ## At a glance - **6** registers and sources in one run - **2–4 min** typical check of one IČO - **€300,000** aid cap over 3 years per single undertaking - **1 h** longest a report is kept Source: Verifier project documentation, DM-08/2024 scheme ## Limits of manual checking – four requirements for the tool A manual check means opening every register separately, then copying and comparing the data. - **Merging six sources**: Financial, ownership and personnel data has to be pulled in parallel and merged into one case — including the same people and companies showing up in several sources. - **Aid is counted per group**: The de minimis cap applies to a single undertaking — the whole network of companies connected through ownership. The tool has to rebuild that network and sum aid across every company in it. - **No storage of data on the companies checked**: Data about the company being checked must never be written to a database. Only a briefly stored result and a report that can be downloaded once may remain. - **A check takes several minutes**: For larger networks of connected companies some checks take several minutes. The reviewer therefore has to see the progress of each step. ## Checking one IČO – five steps from input to report One run replaces going through the registers by hand. Each step builds on the previous one, and nothing from it is stored permanently. 1. **Input** – IČO or company name, autocompleted via FinStat. 2. **Parallel lookup** – Six sources at once, progress shown live. 3. **Cross-check** – People and companies merged, the network of connections built. 4. **Decision** – Eligible, not eligible or needs review — with reasons. 5. **Report** – A document downloadable once, then deleted. ## Parallel data lookup – six registers and sources in one run The reviewer enters an IČO or starts typing a company name and picks it from the suggestions. The tool then queries FinStat, the business register, the register of legal entities, the register of financial statements, Transparex and IS SEMP in parallel. A typical check takes two to four minutes, longer for a larger network of connected companies. That's why progress is shown live. - Company-name autocomplete via FinStat - Six sources, including Transparex and IS SEMP - Progress of the check shown live ## Aid calculated per single undertaking – the applicant and every connected company De minimis rules look at the so-called single undertaking — the applicant together with every company it's connected to through ownership. The €300,000 cap over three years applies to the group as a whole. So Verifier rebuilds the ownership network from direct connections, statutory-director links and indirect chains through other companies, and sums the aid already granted across every company in it. ## Assessment under the DM-08/2024 scheme – three possible decisions, with reasons Once the data is in, the tool works through the rules of the DM-08/2024 scheme itself: whether the company operates in an excluded NACE sector, whether the group stays under the aid cap, which size category it falls into and whether that category has been stable over the last two years. The result is one of three decisions — eligible (VIABLE), not eligible (NOT_VIABLE) or for manual review (NEEDS_REVIEW) — always with the reasons behind it. ## Principle Data about the company being checked is fetched for each check and not retained once the check is finished. - **No database of subjects**: Data about the checked company and its people is never written to a database. The report is built straight from the run's result. - **Short-term memory**: A repeated check of the same IČO is briefly served from a temporarily stored result. After that the data is discarded. - **A one-time report**: The report waits on the server for at most an hour and is deleted right after the first download. ## The report for each decision – directors, owners, connections and an aid overview For each decision the tool generates a complete report in Word format: directors, shareholders, connected companies, an ownership diagram and the de minimis aid table. The case can be documented without the tool itself having to keep it. The reviewer downloads the report once. Then it's deleted from the server — and after an hour at the latest even if nobody downloads it. ## Login and user accounts – the only data stored permanently The tool sits behind a login, and the only persistent data in the whole application is user accounts — profile, role and password. Everything about the companies being checked exists only for the duration of a run. ## Eligibility checked in a single run – a decision and report within minutes Verifier replaced going through six registers by hand with a single run. The reviewer enters an IČO and a few minutes later has a decision with reasons and an evidence report — and nothing about the checked company stays in the tool. ### What we delivered - Internal web application with login and account management - Parallel checks across six registers and sources - Assessment under the DM-08/2024 scheme rules - Evidence report for every decision - Checks without retaining data on the companies checked --- Web version: https://interfase.sk/en/case-studies/trexima/verifier llms.txt: https://interfase.sk/llms.txt
