B2B Customers with D&B
You use the this template to master site-level company data and enrich that data with a D-U-N-S number and company data from D&B Data Blocks.
The data product produced by the B2B customers with D&B template provides a consolidated view of businesses at the granularity of individual sites (headquarters versus satellite offices, for example), and enriches your data with corporate hierarchy and other referential attributes from Dun & Bradstreet. Use this mastered, cleaned, and enriched data to optimize deliveries, allocate resources, target marketing campaigns, and make other decisions driven by location and corporate hierarchy.
This data product template includes:
- An industry-standard unified schema for company data.
- A machine learning model that deduplicates entities within, and across, your data sources.
- Data quality services for country code and company name.
- Firmographic enrichment from Dun & Bradstreet, including:
- D-U-N-S number and additional information provided by Dun & Bradstreet (D&B).
- Data from the Company Information L2 and Hierarchies and Connections L1 D&B Data Blocks.
Use Cases for this Template
Mastering your data using the B2B customer with D&B template helps you answer questions like:
- What is the correct D-U-N-S number for this company?
- How are your customers linked to a domestic or ultimate parent organization? Do multiple customers or suppliers share the same parent organization?
- Should you bill a customer's parent organization directly?
- What cross-sell opportunities exist, now that you have enriched your data with corporate hierarchy information?
- How many distinct sites are there in each sales region?
- Where do you have multiple sales associates visiting the same customer site?
- Where is there overlap when you consolidate data from several customer relationship management (CRM) or enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems?
