Duplicate recognition made easy with DUPE|IT!
Due to a lot of customer contact or everyday office stress, errors can creep in. If you don’t pay attention for a short time, you already have a small error in your data record, but it can be very crucial. Often a contact is saved twice or more, these are the so-called duplicates. Duplicate records are not only annoying, but also become expensive over time. That is why we offer you the addon DUPE|IT. With DUPE|IT you get a reliable duplicate detection.
Significant disadvantages due to duplicates
Duplicate data in the customer record is very annoying. For example, if you send out a newsletter or info mails several times a month, your duplicate or multiple customers will receive the newsletter several times, which will be very annoying to the customer. After all, who has the time to read emails twice and three times in today’s working world. If you have a company that regularly sends out product catalogs, your costs will increase dramatically if you have a high number of duplicates when producing the product catalogs. With DUPE|IT and its reliable duplicate detection, you can avoid these problems.
Useful functions of DUPE|IT
In order to offer you the best search for identical customer records, DUPE|IT has a fuzzy logic that consists of an algorithm to show you similarities. By similarities, we mean names such as “Maier” and “Meier”. So DUPE|IT recognizes not only the “same” or “dissimilar”, but also the fuzzy information like a middle name or the email address is compared. Name differences like Maier and Meier are recognized by DUPE|IT as similar. With the function Check on contact or company level you can check contacts or companies for duplicates and merge them. For example, DUPE|IT recognizes contacts with similar names and also checks the company name. If the company name is the same for the similar contacts, these contacts are displayed as duplicates. By using different criteria, such as name, first name, street and postal code, DUPE|IT can define your duplicate search even more precisely. With the help of the NULL comparison and the clustering, identical records with missing data are displayed. After the duplicate search has been successfully performed, DUPE|IT will show you a list of all duplicates found, so you can decide which ones and if you want to remove or edit duplicate records. Once you have improved your cleansed customer data, you can automatically merge the data such as history, notes, documents, opportunities and groups.
