The answer is probably no!...In almost all cases, companies believe their data is in better shape than it really is, and are unaware of the negative impact that this will have upon their business. Due to the constant changes that occur to both business and residential records, it is impossible to maintain data that is 100% accurate. However there are a number of processes that can be implemented that will ensure that data is in the best condition possible, and that is maintained and ” fit for purpose”.

In reality, almost all databases contain duplicates at contact level and address level, and spurious characters within data fields. They are often unstructured and contain incomplete or inaccurate information. Customers may have moved address without notification of redirection or worse, many have gone out of business or you may be mailing customers that have died. We are all disappointed to see those sacks of returned mail coming in and much of this wastage can be reduced through preventative solutions. In our experience the problems tend to be worse on customers that have International customer databases and we are one of the few companies that can offer a suite of International data cleaning and enhancement solutions.

We believe that recipients of mail do like to see their correct details and address in a well presented format, it gives a good impression of the mailer and upholds industry best practice. We believe in helping you get your data into the best shape possible and then help you uphold and maintain those standards. We help ensure compliance with data protection legislation surrounding MPS/CTPS/TPS/FPS suppressions.

All data cleaning should be totally self funding and to date we have never seen a case where the costs of cleaning outweigh the tangible benefits gained by of using our Data Detox and Diagnostic solutions.
