Data Refresh
Businesses change, and people come and go, so it makes sense that data will become outdated.
At 118 Group, we recognise that people need up-to-date data to make crucial business decisions so within our 70-seat call centre we have highly trained agents who call each organisation to confirm their details and maintain the integrity of our database. We make over 12,000 calls daily to maintain our exceptional standards of accuracy.
Regular data updates ensure timely information delivery to customers on an ongoing basis, our data licensing contracts allow for updates passed to you on a daily, weekly or monthly schedule. We can tailor each extract to the layout required for ease of uploading to internal systems including bespoke lists of values where required.
Our update files also provide you with new records added within your target market, businesses that have ceased trading, updates to phone numbers, contacts, emails and employee numbers.
Because of our high-quality standards, data in our database is updated regularly, and changes are made within 24 hours. 118 Group has the most accurate data in the industry and is the ‘go-to’ for businesses looking for B2B data solutions and marketing campaigns.
