QOTD: What's your go to DemandTools Module?

Ashley_Validity — Thu, 23 Feb 2023 14:39:03 GMT

For today's Question of the Day, we want to know what your FAVORITE DemandTools module is? What is the module that saves you the most time or that you always find yourself leaning to? I'll go first, mine has to be MATCH! I am always getting handed reports that are missing critical fields. Match lets me quickly go in and pull extra data so I can slice and dice my reports the way I need to.

Dedupe. So much more robust than Salesforce out of the box, and inevitably there are dupes to be merged. I use this almost daily!

Surprisingly, FindIds is an essential tool for me. I started by using it just to find contacts and leads using lists of names from Marketing. I love the ability to get ridiculously granular in my matching query. I've found over time that it is a great complement to other needs as well. During a recent M&A exercise, I needed to pull a subset of interrelated records. I was able to use FindIds to create discrete sets of records related to my core subset. Amazing! And just today, I used it to help me find the records causing errors merging Accounts, specifically where the non-master was the parent of the master, and where there were contacts on one account which were also indirectly connected to the second account.

At this particular point the Dedupe feature has been a lifesaver for me and being that it is the only module I have worked with as of yet it is clearly my favorite! 🙂

Such a power horse of a module! FID is the first module I used when I started using DemandTools 10 years ago. So many use cases!

Well, now I'm curious. I've not noticed a Find Ids module--is that Match?

It is! FindIds is the legacy version of Match. It was renamed for DemandTools V Release.

This is probably going to be an odd response but I really like the Assess module because you can get an overall picture of how things are in your org and its a good way to show others where the problems are!

Now that I am currently moving sandboxes to production orgs the Import Module has been an amazing tool for me and my organization.

Complete toss up for me between Match and Import. They go hand in hand on nearly every list upload that I do into our CRM. Match is essential for preventing duplicates. And Import's flexible "Always Update", "Update if Empty" and "Combine Field" settings make me weak in the knees! It might be true love. 🙂

PowerGrid is my favorite as it gives me ability to change within the view itself and post all changes. This helps me when I receive a list from client making sure we have addresses and phone numbers correct for their locations.

Match, of course.

But Dedupe certainly has its moments - if coaxed.

As much as I love Dedupe for obvious reasons, I have to say most of my schedualed jobs are all Modify scenarios for data normalization, standardization & hygeine efforts.
