Give it a Good Scrub: Data Synchronization

How is your database? Do you have good systems in place to manage errors and duplicate entries, or is someone at your business still making corrections by hand? Manual database management can be messy and leave a lot of clutter behind.

If you have a successful business, you have to manage a lot of information. From lead generation, to client data, to inventory, every company has data it has to keep track of. Most business owners implement databases to keep all of their data together. But manual databases have their limitations.

If you are relying on manual database management, you know the headache that these entries can cause. Are these the same people? Different leads? Which person does that new updated email address go with?

Data synchronization can help eliminate that stress. It is especially important where multiple staff members enter data into the same database, or multiple databases. Instead, Provisio's data sync process can compile the information from those databases with information submitted on your website, and synchronize it without the hassle of double or triple entry.

Dirty data can cause big problems for your customers. An outdated address could send a key delivery to the wrong location. A gap in your information could leave sales teams scrambling to satisfy a client's needs. In some industries, a messy database could even lead to licensing or disciplinary proceedings.

If you store data about your customers in separate databases and software, entering the same information in multiple places is both time-consuming and unnecessary. Data synchronization is used to compile customer information, order histories, service requests, and other key information, putting them all together in one place.

The web development team at Provisio Technology Solutions can craft databases and data sychronization methodologies tailored specifically for your business needs. Don't pay for hours of unnecessary duplicate data entry. Contact Provisio Techology Solutions today to give your database a good scrub and get rid of the messy data slowing you down.
