Supercheck

What Supercheck does

Supercheck is a German B2B address investigation platform operated by EURO-PRO Gesellschaft für Data Processing mbH, a wholly-owned subsidiary of CRIF GmbH (part of the international CRIF credit information group headquartered in Bologna, Italy). The company specializes in locating unknown-moved (unbekannt verzogen) debtors and customers for law firms, companies, freelancers, and medical practices across the D-A-CH region. Its primary customer segments are law firms (Rechtsanwaltskanzleien) using the service for debt collection and creditor protection, and B2B companies recovering outstanding invoices from relocated customers.

The core technology is a three-tier address investigation system. Stage 1 queries proprietary EURO-PRO databases containing 45M+ address and relocation records (€4.90 per success). Stage 2 escalates to external consumer, address, migration, collection, and credit bureau databases (€6.90-7.90 per success). Stage 3 issues a direct inquiry to the German Einwohnermeldeamt (civil registration office), with access to 5,200+ local offices plus Austrian ZMR and Swiss population registers (€13.00 per success). Add-on services include express EMA (€19, results in 3 minutes-24 hours), long-term monitoring up to 30 years, on-site neighbor surveys (€45.50), heir investigation (€30.50), and comprehensive Vollstreckungsauskunft debt-collection reports (€83.50). Overall success rate for unknown-moved persons is 65-90%.

The business model is pure transaction-based with no membership fees, no minimum order quantities, no fixed contracts, and a one-time €20 onboarding fee. Go-to-market is sales-led/self-serve hybrid: a self-service online portal for SMBs and ad-hoc users, supplemented by embedded integrations in 7+ major German legal practice management platforms (RA-MICRO, AnNoText, Advoware, NoRA, ReNoStar, Kanzlei-Manager) and DATEV's accounting cooperative network. High-volume clients (>100 investigations/month) receive dedicated API/SFTP/DAT-TRANS integrations with volume pricing. The company processes 6M+ investigations annually for 35,000+ companies and 15,000+ lawyers, with 51-100 employees headquartered in Grävenwiesbach, Germany. Operating since 2002, Supercheck is a licensed credit reporting agency under §38 GewO, GDPR-compliant, and a member of Die Wirtschaftsauskunfteien e.V.

Direct peers

• Creditreform: Germany's largest credit bureau and debtor-information provider. Offers address investigation, credit reports (Bonitätsauskunft), and debt-collection services to law firms and businesses — directly competing with Supercheck's core offerings.
• Deutsche Post Direkt: Deutsche Post subsidiary offering address management, data quality and relocation services to B2B customers. Overlaps with Supercheck in address-investigation and change-of-address data products in Germany.
• Bürgel Wirtschaftsinformationen (CRIFBÜRGEL): Sister brand under CRIFBÜRGEL providing business and consumer credit information, including address investigation. Direct overlap with Supercheck's commercial customer base and product set; also illustrates the parent CRIF portfolio.
• infoscore Consumer Data GmbH (Creditreform subsidiary): Credit-recovery and consumer-data arm of Creditreform offering address investigation, debtor lookup and credit information to creditors and legal professionals — head-to-head with Supercheck in the German debtor-location market.

Emerging players

• IDnow: German-headquartered identity verification and KYC platform serving regulated industries. While focused on digital onboarding, it represents the next-generation of identity/address verification players that could compress Supercheck's traditional address-investigation use case.
• Verimi GmbH: German identity-platform joint venture (incl. Deutsche Bank, Allianz) offering verified digital identity. Represents a structural alternative to civil-registration-based address lookup — a long-term substitute to Supercheck's core product.

Broad incumbents

• SCHUFA Holding AG: Germany's dominant consumer credit bureau with the largest private credit database. While primarily a credit-scoring business, it provides address-validation and identity services that overlap with Supercheck's data layer.
• LexisNexis Risk Solutions: Global data and analytics provider with strong identity verification, fraud-detection and address-validation products. Operates in Germany/Europe and is a long-term competitive threat as enterprise buyers consolidate on global platforms.
• CRIF S.p.A. Italy-headquartered parent of CRIF GmbH and indirect parent of Supercheck. Provides international credit bureau, ID verification and information services across 30+ countries — represents the broader platform potential for Supercheck's offering.

Regional players

• Bisnode (now Dun & Bradstreet): European business information provider (acquired by Dun & Bradstreet) offering company lookups, credit reports and address services across DACH and Nordics — competing in the same German business-investigation segment as Supercheck's AF3 offering.
