Resolving VAT identities across a global supplier network

Travel ecosystems contain airlines, hotels, agencies and technology suppliers across many jurisdictions. Registry-backed identifiers help keep those entities distinct.

THE RELATIONSHIP

Where Global Database fits

This workflow shows how Global Database company data can support VAT verification in a multinational travel-supplier environment.

THE IDENTITY GAP

Why name-only checks fail.

The same supplier can appear under local legal entities, brand names and billing addresses. A name-only match can attach an invoice to the wrong company.

THE VAT VERIFICATION ROLE

Establish the company before the wider decision.

A VAT, tax or registration number gives the workflow a jurisdiction-specific anchor. Matching it to the legal record helps procurement and finance teams identify the invoicing entity consistently.

THE WORKFLOW

Four steps from input to evidence.

  1. 01

    Ingest

    Receive the supplier name, country and VAT or tax number from onboarding or invoice data.

  2. 02

    Resolve locally

    Apply the country’s identifier rules and search the corresponding company records.

  3. 03

    Return one entity

    Provide the legal name, registration number, registered address and available status.

  4. 04

    Route exceptions

    Hold conflicting or incomplete records for review instead of forcing a false match.

WHAT THE EVIDENCE SUPPORTS

Built for multi-market entity resolution

The workflow focuses on the VAT-verification application and does not introduce an Amadeus-specific performance figure.
