The Challenge
Despite operating at scale, the organisation faced growing internal concerns around data reliability:
- Duplicate, outdated, and irrelevant records slowing sales outreach.
- Poor mapping between postcode, UPRN, and live trading businesses.
- Inconsistent third-party telecom business data failing to reflect real-world changes.
- Reduced confidence in forecasting and market coverage reporting.
The problem was not lead volume. It was trust in the telecom business data powering the sales pipeline.
The Solution
The organisation partnered with DataGardener to rebuild its telecom business data foundation using a location-first intelligence approach.
A pilot dataset of 1,000 postcodes was analysed to demonstrate impact. Using advanced UK business mapping:
- Every active trading company within those locations was identified.
- Inactive and duplicate records were removed.
- Postcodes and UPRNs were accurately mapped to live business entities.
Result: Nearly 11,000 active UK companies identified from just 1,000 postcodes.
- Deduplicated, actively trading UK company records.
- Clean postcode and UPRN-to-business mappings.
- Enriched telecom business data ready for CRM integration.
- Continuously refreshable datasets sales teams could trust.
This approach resolved root data quality issues rather than applying temporary fixes.
The Results
- High-confidence, location-accurate leads restored to sales teams.
- Significant reduction in CRM duplication and outdated records.
- Clear executive visibility into true market coverage.
- Repeatable refresh and enrichment process established.
- Improved forecasting accuracy and pipeline reliability.
What was previously described internally as “a total mess” became a structured, scalable telecom business data asset.
Client Feedback
“DataGardener transformed our telecom business data infrastructure. The clarity, accuracy, and mapping precision significantly improved our CRM integrity and sales confidence.”
