The Importance of Phone and Email Verification
While address validation is still an essential part of customer data management, the rapidly increasing use of mobile and e-commerce tools means that mobile phone and email verification is now just as critical. Like so many types of customer data, it’s about accuracy – knowing that the phone number or email address you’re contacting is registered and active. When you’re onboarding a customer and the person enters their name and phone number, for example, it’s possible to immediately perform a real-time check and see if their details are correct. If…
Why e-Commerce Businesses Should use Address Validation Tools
There are no two ways about it – running a successful modern organisation depends on the use of accurate, relevant data. Research from Gartner has indicated that poor data quality is the primary reason behind the failure of business initiatives, and it can also impact labour productivity by as much as 20 per cent. For e-commerce businesses that rely on efficient delivery services, there is perhaps no data more vital for success than customer address information. While they may seem like a perfectly simple piece of our identities, addresses contain a…
