Matchcode Commercial is an addressing solution from Capscan, which brings you the integrated power of Matchcode with an exciting additional data set - the Experian Business database. The Commercial database supplied by Experian and Thomson consists of over 2.2 million trading organisations, ranging from small businesses and shops through to blue-chip corporations and local government agencies. The database is designed to work alongside the standard PAF data or to be used independently as a stand-alone database. Matchcode Commercial not only offers the user business name and address information, but also provides Standard Industry Codes (SIC Codes) and telephone numbers. Used in Batch mode, the commercial database can help to improve automatic matching rates where there is a high incidence of business addresses.
