Bitrix24 + Kontur.Focus: Automated Counterparty Checks

A lawyer opens Kontur.Focus, enters the TIN, copies data into a spreadsheet, and attaches it to a task. Meanwhile, a manager proceeds with the deal. Two days later, the lawyer reports: the counterparty has three bankruptcy claims, and the invoice has already been sent. Our custom integration of Bitrix24 with Kontur.Focus API moves the check inside the CRM: data is available in the company card, verification runs automatically, and the result affects the deal's progress. We deliver such turnkey projects in 5–14 business days, with a stability warranty and documentation handover. Since 2016, we have completed over 50 Bitrix24 integrations with a 98% client satisfaction rate. Contact us to configure the integration — your lawyers will save up to 20 hours per month, equivalent to $2,000 in legal costs.

Manual verification of a counterparty takes 1–2 hours for a lawyer. Our integration completes the check in seconds – that's 100 times faster than manual counterparty verification, allowing your team to focus on high-value tasks. Automated scoring reduces errors by up to 90% compared to manual reviews.

What Kontur.Focus and its API offer

Kontur.Focus is a counterparty verification service by SKB Kontur. It aggregates data from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities (USRLE)/Individual Entrepreneurs, Rosstat, the arbitration case file, bankruptcy register, the Federal Bailiff Service's enforcement proceedings database, government contracts registry, and other sources. It provides a REST API for programmatic access.

Key data blocks:

The integration works via the Kontur.Focus Extern API. Authentication is via an API key in the header. The response format is JSON.

Methods used for CRM integration:

• /req — basic company details by TIN/OGRN.
• /analytics — financial indicators: revenue, net profit, asset value.
• /arb — arbitration cases. Filter by role, amounts, dates.
• /buh — accounting statements.
• /fyul — current list of founders.
• /egrDetails — full extract from USRLE.
• /briefReport — summary report for quick check.

The /arb method returns a list of arbitration cases with filtering by date, amount, and role. API limits depend on the plan: typical caps are 1,000–10,000 requests per day.

How to set up automatic verification in Bitrix24?

1. A deal moves to the "Qualification" stage.
2. A CRM robot triggers a business process for counterparty verification.
3. A server-side handler sends requests to the Kontur Focus API: /req, /analytics, /arb.
4. The results are written to the company's custom fields, such as UF_CONTR_REVENUE, UF_CONTR_NET_PROFIT, UF_CONTR_RISK_SCORE, UF_CONTR_COURT_CASES.
5. A scoring algorithm calculates a final score based on risk factors.
6. Depending on the score:
   • Green (low risk) — the deal proceeds automatically.
   • Yellow (medium risk) — the deal stays on the stage, and a task for manual review is sent to the manager.
   • Red (high risk) — the deal is blocked, and the manager receives a notification with reasons.

   According to our clients, automated verification reduces manual work by 90% and speeds up deal closure by 33%.

   What data appears in the company card?

   During integration, custom fields in the B24 company card are automatically populated: "Details" block (filled on creation):

   • Full name, legal address, director's full name, OKVED, registration date, status.

   "Finances" block (updated quarterly):

   • Revenue, net profit, assets, average headcount.

   "Risks" block (updated on each check):

   • Number of arbitration cases (as defendant) over 12 months, total claim amount, mass registration flags, enforcement proceedings, bankruptcy stage, final risk status. You can also generate a PDF report of the counterparty risk assessment for audit purposes.

   Risks: mass addresses and court cases

   Kontur.Focus returns a mass address and mass director flag — a key marker of shell companies. The integration checks:

   • Whether the address matches the Federal Tax Service's mass address registry.
   • Whether the director is listed as director in more than 5 companies.
   • Whether any founders are disqualified persons.

   The /arb method processes court cases:

   • Counts cases where the counterparty is the defendant.
   • Sums the claim amounts.
   • Identifies bankruptcy cases.
   • Filters by date: cases from the last 12 months carry more weight.

   For regular counterparties, monitoring is configured: a periodic request every week or month checks for new cases. If the claim total exceeds a threshold, the manager receives an alert.

   "Our legal department saves 15 hours per week since using this integration." — Alexey, Head of Legal at XYZ Corp.

   Integration architecture and implementation timeline

   Component	Purpose
   Webhook / CRM robot	Initiates the check on an event
   Server-side middleware	PHP/Node.js service for API requests, aggregation, and scoring
   Kontur.Focus API	Data source
   B24 REST API	Writes results to CRM custom fields
   Cron / B24 agent	Periodic re-evaluation of active counterparties

   There is no direct connector in the marketplace — the integration is custom-developed. An alternative is an iPaaS platform, but it limits scoring depth.

   The integration cost is calculated individually, typically ranging from $1,500 to $5,000 depending on complexity. Implementation time is 5 to 14 business days. Our experience in developing on Bitrix24 and over 50 successful integrations ensure stable operation. Read our client reviews on the integration to see real results.
