Get full, fast & accurate data for your customers and suppliers in Sage 50 Accounts with Data8's simple to use solution.
Our plug-and-play solution helps you enter information more efficiently and consistently as well as validating it as soon as it's entered.
Services Available Within Sage
There's a number of services available within Sage including address capture and data validation.
Postcode Lookup
At the same time you enter a postcode, Data8 simultaneously analyses the PAF (Postcode Address File), instantly displaying all possible addresses on a small drop down list.
Once the desired address is selected, our extension will instantaneously fill all necessary fields, ensuring your customer’s address data is meticulously verified, standardised and completed in real time.
By adding our market-leading postcode lookup to all address entry forms, such as customer, supplier and invoice screens, you’ll significantly minimise keystrokes, reduce entry time by up to 95%, and enhance the quality of your database.
Phone and email verification
While most validation solutions on the market simply check the length and arrangement of numbers and emails, we go much further. Looking beyond syntax; we verify if the data is actually genuine, active and contactable in real time.
At point of entry, our tool will instantly highlight invalid fields in red. That way, your employees can clarify and correct errors immediately, ensuring your customer data is 100% accurate from the offset.
With our cutting-edge phone and email verification on all essential systems including customer and supplier forms, you’ll capture contactable data in real time, detecting bogus emails, and seizing every sales opportunity.
Bank account validation
As you enter a sort code and account number, we simultaneously verify if the data is genuine, accurate and active, converting basic bank details into IBAN and BIC, and automatically populating bank addresses from just a sort code.
Again, by instantly highlighting invalid fields in red, our tool offers the opportunity to directly confirm and amend mistakes in real time, capturing correct data first time, and ensuring faster, successful payments.
Through integrating our cutting-edge bank verification to all appropriate systems like customer and supplier forms, you’ll avoid costly erroneous payments, reduce the risk of fraud, and significantly increase conversions.
Credit checking
Quickly perform credit checks on customers and suppliers to make sure you don't expose yourself to unnecessary risks. Easily find the right company and get the latest recommended credit limit.
