Overview

The Customer Onboarding & Enrichment use case helps organizations automate the onboarding of business customers by retrieving, validating, and enriching company information directly from authoritative sources.

Instead of manually entering company details, users can search for a company by name or registration number and automatically retrieve key information, including company details, addresses, management information, and locations.
