THE RELATIONSHIP
Where Global Database fits
Global Database’s published customer story describes a partnership that strengthens Experian’s verified company coverage in the Benelux region.
THE IDENTITY GAP
Why name-only checks fail.
Company records from multiple sources can fragment when spelling, trading names and addresses differ. That creates duplicate profiles and uncertain matches.
THE VAT VERIFICATION ROLE
Establish the company before the wider decision.
A country-specific VAT number is a strong resolution key when it is considered with the legal name and registration number. It helps data teams join the right record without assuming every supplied number is current or valid.
THE WORKFLOW
Four steps from input to evidence.
- 01
Standardise
Normalise the submitted country and VAT or registration-number format.
- 02
Match
Use the identifier and legal name to locate the corresponding company record.
- 03
Enrich
Attach official names, addresses, registration details and source context.
- 04
Preserve provenance
Retain the source and retrieval context so downstream users can understand the match.
WHAT THE EVIDENCE SUPPORTS
