Often there are no unique keys for linking in different data sources. Furthermore data records that are actually the same easily have different spellings &amp; misspellings, missing information or double entries (duplicates).<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, e.g. address matching of different data sources is often only possible with a lot of time (often also manual checks). Due to this reason matching tasks are only carried out when absolutely necessary.<br \/>\nBut: it is precisely well-linked data that brings the real added value for analysis and practical use by the staff!<\/p>\n<p>Since we are confronted with the issue of data merging \/ matching on a daily basis in our projects, we have taken our existing matching procedures to the next level. We now use <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Approximate_string_matching\">fuzzy algorithms<\/a> that can optimally support us in finding data matches. Of course, detailed cross-checking is still done manually for quality assurance.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-2632 size-large\" title=\"Fuzzy Matching\" src=\"http:\/\/saletelligence.de\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Fuzzy_Matching-1024x321.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"313\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.saletelligence.ch\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Fuzzy_Matching-1024x321.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.saletelligence.ch\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Fuzzy_Matching-300x94.png 300w, https:\/\/www.saletelligence.ch\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Fuzzy_Matching-768x241.png 768w, https:\/\/www.saletelligence.ch\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Fuzzy_Matching.png 1100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In this way, we regularly achieve very high assignment rates, which then provide a high added value for further processing and our analysis questions.<\/p>\n<p>So if you also despair of your unlinked data, then contact us <a href=\"https:\/\/saletelligence.de\/en\/about-us\/team-saletelligence\/\">directly<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Learn more about our new fuzzy matching algorithms.
