USE CASE:
UK companies and the hard part of identity resolution
Read this if you need identity resolution for UK companies and you would rather see the real options than a pitch. Mamba Labs builds Apify actors, and Public Company Reporting Window Finder is the one named below that covers UK companies.
The situation
UK companies complicate identity resolution, for a reason specific to them. UK companies file, publish and advertise under local rules that no global dataset models properly, which shapes identity resolution. On UK companies, identity resolution rarely catches this: coverage from any vendor drops off a cliff outside the English speaking market. We keep 1 preconfigured task for identity resolution on UK companies, across 1 tool.
Why anyone bothers
Every duplicate among UK companies splits a history in half, and the half your rep reads is the empty one.
Traditional Search Tools
- The national company register, for UK companies. Free, authoritative, and in its own language.
- Your CRM's merge suggestions. Salesforce and HubSpot both offer them. They are conservative by design, so they catch exact matches and miss the interesting cases.
- Dedupely, Insycle or a dedupe tool. Built for exactly this and worth the money if the mess lives entirely inside one CRM. Less useful when the duplicates arrive from four different sources.
- A resolution key of your own. Pick one identifier, usually the primary domain, and make every source write it. The cheapest long term fix and the one nobody wants to do.
- Sort and read. Sort by name, read the list, merge what you recognize. It is tedious and a person is genuinely good at it, up to a few thousand rows.
