One legal entity. One authoritative identifier.
Built on ISO 8000-116, K:alei brings authoritative legal entity identifiers into your master data, so every customer, supplier and partner is uniquely and verifiably identified.
Trusted by industry leaders
K:alei is a standards-based module that replaces free-text entity names and local identifiers with a single authoritative identifier for each legal entity. It helps organizations match records across systems, business units and trading partners without duplicates or manual reconciliation.
Authoritative identification
- Identification of each legal entity by an identifier based on the authoritative register of record;
Clear provenance
K:alei states the source of every identifier as part of the identifier itself. Users can show where an entity identifier came from and why it can be trusted.
Fewer duplicates
With K:alei, records for the same entity resolve to the same identifier. Less time is spent cleansing, merging and verifying entity data.
Interoperable by design
K:alei uses one consistent format that can be exchanged between systems, business units and trading partners. Partners that use ALEIs can exchange entity data without re-matching.
Beyond local convention
K:alei conforms to an international standard (ISO 8000-116) rather than a proprietary scheme. Entity data is anchored to the authoritative register of record instead of local convention.
Modular by nature
Users of any KOIOS module can subscribe to K:alei to add authoritative entity identification to work already under way. Organizations can also use K:alei independently, without adopting other KOIOS modules.
