CRM database cleanse
Cleansing over 80,000 CRM records
We helped a firm cleanse their extensive customer data records, improving the quality of their data with minimal downtime.
The brief
The client wanted to migrate contact records from their legacy CRM to an all-new system. The new system required a different data format, so we used this opportunity to cleanse, format and validate all entries.
The solution
We defined a clear set of rules and logic for cleaning the data, including removing unwanted characters, duplicate or non-numeric entries, standardising UK numbers (preserving leading 0s and replacing +44 where appropriate), verifying trusted numbers, and completing or reconciling incomplete records.
Our VBA team combined existing modules with custom scripts to automate the process in Excel. By automating data cleansing and UK number validation, we delivered a clean, reliable dataset — fast and at scale.
