Duplicate Customer Record Merge Agent

Duplicate records merged safely, with all linked history preserved and a trail of what changed

Duplicate Customer Record Merge Agent: what goes in, what the agent does and what you get

What it does

Two records for the same customer split orders and invoices across both, and merging them by hand can lose history. This agent searches for likely duplicates using name, address, phone and email, and scores each pair by how well these match. For each pair it reads linked transactions, notes and open items and compares them. It drafts a merged record that keeps the best value for each field and a list of what moves where. Before presenting a pair it checks that no linked order, invoice or leave record would be lost or attached to the wrong party. A person approves each merge before it is applied. Edge case: two employees with the same name and birthday but different national numbers are marked as not duplicates.

How it works

Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.

How it decides

A pair is proposed when its match score is above the threshold and no strong field conflicts, such as different ID numbers, is found.

  • Propose a pair when the score is 85 or higher
  • Never propose a pair with different tax or national IDs
  • Keep the most recent verified value for contact fields
  • Send pairs scoring 70 to 84 to a manual review list

Make it yours

Every agent is a starting point. You choose these settings for your own situation.

  • Match score to propose a merge (default 85)
  • Fields that must not conflict
  • How to pick the surviving record
  • Review list threshold (default 70)

What keeps you in control

It always asks you first

  • Each merge before it is applied

Hard limits

  • Never merges without approval
  • Always keeps a restorable copy of both records

It stops when

  • Done: all approved merges verified
  • Stop: a before and after count does not match and cannot be restored

An example run

What happensThe scan found 38 possible pairs. A pair for Ann Marlow and A. Marlow scored 91, with matching phone and address. The first check failed because 2 invoices were tied to a second billing account. The agent added them to the move list. After approval it merged, and the check showed 14 orders and 9 invoices on both sides. Another pair with different tax IDs was rejected.
