Matching matters
You’re here because matching matters, and the product you’ve been using, whether that’s matchIT or something else, is changing hands, changing direction, or changing price.
The Software Bureau has spent over 25 years building the data quality software that UK mailing houses, data bureaux, charities and corporate data teams rely on. The matching, parsing, address validation and survivorship work you’re used to doing, we do it too. On UK data, with UK support, at pricing that fits real budgets.
The matching capabilities you depend on
Fuzzy matching with phonetic keys
Phonetic match keys generated using the Double Metaphone algorithm, so spelling variants and naming conventions don’t break the match.
Multiple matching levels in one pass
Group records at individual, family and household simultaneously. You decide what each level means, the engine handles the rest.
Single customer view and golden record creation
Match and merge across as many sources as you need. The matching outputs give you everything required to apply your own survivorship rules and produce one trusted record per customer.
Name and address parsing
Parse names into title, forename, surname and suffix. Identify gender and marital status. Break addresses into their constituent elements, including building, sub-building, thoroughfare, locality, town, county and postcode. Hazard detection flags problematic content before it reaches your databse.
UK address verification at scale
Royal Mail PAF accredited. Over 2 billion records processed through our cloud PAF engine to date.
Embedded UK suppression data
Over 450 million records from Royal Mail, Experian, Sagacity, DBS Data, MiExact and Shine CK. Licensed and integrated, no separate negotiations.
Batch and real-time
