Search and Add companies

The tool to search and add new companies to your system

While adding new companies to your system, D&B Link verifies if there are any candidates already added in your system, linked or unlinked to the Global ID System. This avoids filling the system with duplicates. Therefore, when doing searches D&B Link scans companies records in the system and present them in parallel with match results from the Dun & Bradstreet Global ID System.

With D&B Link you benefit from the Dun & Bradstreet Confidence rating. Each candidate in the hit list is rated. In the above image this is visualized with a figure in a star symbol, which tells you from a scale 1-10 how well your search criteria match the candidate.

You also have the possibility to add companies by explicitly add DUNS numbers. This can be done batch wise, pasting any string including DUNS numbers to the form.

Corporate structure

Tree view

With the Dun & Bradstreet tool GRS (Global Reference Solution) added to D&B Link you will be able to view the global corporate structure of any linked company. Visualization of the corporate structure can be customized to either a traditional organizational chart, hierarchy chart or list.

Companies in the corporate structure are colored marked to visualize the relations between your system and D&B Global ID System. Grey market companies represents companies not included in your system. Yellow marked company represent the linked company in view when opening up the corporate structure and pink colored companies are all linked to the D&B Global ID System with its unique DUNS®Number.

New companies can be added and linked to the system from the corporate structure view.

Batch import

Data import of D&B DUNSRight™ files

Dun & Bradstreet provides a rationalization service of customer or supplier records where manual steps are required to guarantee full data quality. The process to match and enhance a batch of records from your system is done in a separate process accordingly with the Dun & Bradstreet quality process DUNSRight™. Any duplicates of companies are found and each company is identified with its unique DUNS®Number and Confidence Code/Match Grade.

D&B Link supports easy import of D&B result files without requiring any thorough manual field matching.
