IValue
Intimate Value is a software product that cleans customer databases. IValue has been packaged so that common code is utilized for online processing as well as offline, batch applications.
IValue is modular and can provide any or all of the following functionality in one process:
- Title: Validated against a table file. Fields returned are language, gender and a ‘dear line’ for personalized direct communications.
- Names: First names and Surnames are validated against tables and New Market / Race codes are returned based on the surnames.
- ID Number: Validated according to format and check-digit. Gender and Date Of Birth are derived.
- Date of Birth: Validated according to format, age is derived.
- Email address: Basic format checks and domain validations against a table file.
- Two Addresses: Address suburbs and postal codes are validated and cleaned. Address standardisation and formatting is done. Addresses are changed according to language supplied or derived. Proprietary Income Codes, based on household averages, are supplied for a validated suburb.
- Four Phone Numbers: Cell phone and telephone processed. Landline dial codes are validated against supplied addresses. Formatting of phone numbers is done and is checked against a file from Telkom to determine whether a number has changed and updated as applicable.
If any validated data is deemed to be incorrect and cannot be programmatically fixed, it is flagged and can be manually cleaned using IValue Review.
Previous versions of IValue include ListClean®. Please contact us should you require more information about upgrading to the latest IValue version.
IValue Review
Intimate Value Review allows for the reviewing and updating of records that have been identified by IValue as requiring manual intervention.
- All the rules and validations used in IValue are built into IValue Review, allowing users to correct data based on their company’s specific rules.
- The input to IValue Review is the REVIEW file produced by IValue.
- The records in the REVIEW file are read one by one, allowing the user to correct address information as well as IValue flags like ID Numbers, Titles, Phone Numbers, etc.
- The user is given a description of the problem in the record.
- Suburb, postal code and area search boxes are supplied to enable the user to easily look up all current suburb names and postal codes.
- Once the user is satisfied that the record is correct it can be accepted, and the record is written to the output file which is used to update the customer database.
- If the user is unsure of a record, they can ignore it, and get back to it at a later stage.
- All individual user activity is audited, for example, the number of records processed including records corrected and ignored, as well as the time spent per user using IValue Review.
