Customer Linking & Identification Process
Effortlessly identify, link, and merge customer data at scale

Challenge
Clean and connected data to operate your organization at scale
Finding the same or similar customer records in mountains of customer data is easy when there is a common identifier between them, like a name, PAN, or SSN. Linking customer records, that too at scale, becomes a challenge when there is no consistent identifier.
You need to build complex rules with different weights and scores to determine matches. Based on the results, records are linked together and checked to see if they are indeed the same entity or not.
Product Overview
A Deduplication Marvel
CLIP (Customer Linking & Identification Process) is a bulk entity search and match product. What makes CLIP a marvel among other deduplication products is that it can establish linkages between customer records:
- from disparate data sources
- even when there is no overlapping identifier across data sources
- The quantity of duplicate records is large
It looks for similar demographics and other anonymous identifiers. All the while ensuring customer data privacy.
