Data Cleansing
Database cleansing improves marketing communications ROI, and also adds to the Intellectual Property (IP) and profitability of your dealership.

  • Address Changes
    How many of your customers have moved house and you don't know about it?
  • Targeted Communications
    Do you know if your dealership's marketing communications are actually being delivered to your customers?
    In a sample of 21 dealers (11 metro, 10 regional), on average 42% of addresses were incomplete!
  • Verify Addresses
    Using postal data specific to each dealers' geographic region, the Vital Software solution alerts you to inaccurate and/or ambiguous addresses in your database, and can provide the data files to correct the information.
  • DMS Cleansing Tools
    In some cases, Vital Software is able to push cleansed data from our system back through to your DMS tool.  This bi-directional integration means that when customer details are changed in either system the other system will update automatically. This ensures both platforms are always current and cleanse!
  • Reduce Wastage
    Correct address information means less wastage on direct marketing efforts - saves money and time, and ensures your customers know you haven't forgotten them!
