SEVEN CAPABILITIES

How It Works

Title Standardization
200+ title variants mapped to canonical forms. "VP Sales", "Vice President of Sales", and "VP, Sales Operations" all become one consistent title.
Company Normalization
Remove suffixes (Inc, LLC, Corp), standardize formatting, and deduplicate variations. "Acme Inc." and "ACME, Inc" resolve to the same company.
Confidence Scoring
Every normalization gets a 0-100 confidence score. High confidence = automatic update. Low confidence = flagged for human review.
Backfill Engine
Missing phone numbers, company domains, or LinkedIn URLs? The engine sources missing data and fills gaps automatically.
Duplicate Detection
Fuzzy matching identifies duplicates even with slight variations. Merge or flag for review based on your rules.
Batch Processing
Process thousands of records in minutes. Schedule nightly cleanups or trigger on-demand from Slack.
Flagged Records Report
Type /normalize-report in Slack and get an instant HTML report of every contact scoring below 50 confidence, with exact reasons why and direct HubSpot links to fix them.

CRM Health Report On Demand

Your CRM data quality shouldn't be a mystery. One Slack command tells you exactly which contacts need attention and why.

Type /normalize-report in Slack and within seconds a full flagged records report lands in your #marketing channel. Every contact that scored below 50 confidence, sorted from worst to best, with the exact reason each one failed. Missing job title. Personal email domain. No company association. Unknown seniority. It's all there, linked directly back to the HubSpot record so you can fix it in one click.

No dashboards to log into. No manual exports. No digging through filters. Just a command, a response, and a report that tells you what to do next.

UNDER THE HOOD

Technical Architecture

1
Ingest
Pull records from HubSpot, Salesforce, or CSV import. Batch or real-time triggers.
2
Parse
Extract individual fields, identify data types, detect encoding issues and special characters.
3
Normalize
Apply rule-based transformations first, then AI for edge cases. Each transformation logged.
4
Score
Calculate confidence score (0-100) based on match quality, source reliability, and transformation complexity.
5
Write Back
High-confidence updates applied automatically. Low-confidence flagged in Slack for human review.

Real Use Cases

Post-Event List Cleanup
"After every conference, we import 500+ badge scans with garbage data. Now they're clean and segmented in HubSpot within hours, not days."
CRM Migration
"We moved 50,000 contacts from Salesforce to HubSpot. The normalization engine cleaned 15 years of data debt during the migration."
Nightly Hygiene
"Every night at 2am, new records get normalized automatically. Sales wakes up to clean data ready for outreach."
ABM Targeting
"Clean job titles let us build precise ABM lists. 'VP Sales' actually means VP Sales now, not random variations."
