Our Clients Speak Out: The Tangible Benefits of Data Quality
In terms of combating identity fraud, streamlining order delivery, and ensuring compliance with electronic invoicing, when companies validate their customers’ contact data, the range of benefits is extensive! Several DQE clients have shared with us the evident benefits of using our contact data qualification and deduplication solutions. Whether in a corrective or preventive approach – and often combining both – they explain their successes in overcoming operational and industry-specific challenges.
1. Streamline and Accelerate the Input of Business Data
For a corporate clientele, creating and enriching customer records is far from straightforward. B2B data involves numerous complex input fields that need to be standardized. Regulatory requirements, such as electronic invoicing in France in 2026, are never far from view. With DQE, B2B forms are automatically populated in real time with all legal data based on the company registration number, and existing database records are cleansed and completed.

2. Data Quality for ROI
Customer data is used in many business line processing operations. When this data is not qualified, approximations, inaccuracies, and errors in addresses can weigh on the bottom line by creating unnecessary costs. However, validated contact data is a factor that contributes to increasing operational ROI in areas such as logistics, billing, and customer relationship campaigns.

3. Data quality serving sales
In every sales activity, it is imperative to correctly identify customers and prospects, and to be able to reliably get in touch with them. Contact data quality plays a role, starting with its input. However, this is sometimes done in the field, while on the move, and carried out in a hasty manner. For sales staff, real-time input help simplifies the task and makes it more reliable. It also stops the spread of duplicate records which introduce inaccuracies into the view of customer data.
