Batch processes definition

Definition:
A generic batch process is one in which data is handled en masse rather than record-by-record.

Batch processes are done to ensure data accuracy. Cleaning your data this way is useful for handling repetitive tasks or large volumes of data because they can run automatically in the background without too much human intervention.

Batch name and address verification products are designed to clean address data stored in lists or databases. Our batch product, QAS Batch is a functional choice of contact management product for organisations that compile lists from sources where they have no control over data entry.

The product works automatically and interactively to:

• correct address errors
• verify and format contact details
• standardise addresses

The interactive functionality of QAS Batch enables companies to salvage more addresses than an automatic process can, which in turn enables companies to save more money on postage and increase customer satisfaction.

Many companies find that verifying name and addresses during data entry and performing batch data cleaning on the back end produces the best results.
