Data cleansing and enrichment

Data Cleansing + Enrichment

350+ enrichment attributes per supplier. Maintained continuously, not delivered once.

A one-time data cleanse decays within months. Certifications lapse, ownership structures change, addresses go stale, and the file your team spent weeks preparing quietly becomes unreliable. Atlas enriches every supplier record with 350+ attributes anchored to a verified legal entity (registered company identity) and keeps that enrichment current on an ongoing basis. The data your systems run on stays right without a recurring project to make it so.

DATA CLEANSING + ENRICHMENT OVERVIEW

What Atlas cleanses and enriches across your supplier base

Anchored to a verified identity. Refreshed continuously. 

Clean the record before you enrich it

Data cleansing begins with entity resolution. Before any enrichment is applied, each supplier record is matched to a verified legal entity (registered company identity) from primary source registrations. Duplicate entries are surfaced, naming inconsistencies are standardized, and incomplete registration data is corrected against the source filing. Enrichment applied to an unverified record adds data to the wrong foundation. Atlas verifies first.

A complete picture of every supplier

Once each record is anchored to a verified legal entity, Atlas applies firmographic enrichment: revenue, employee count, industry classification, geography, years in operation, ownership type, and growth indicators. Each attribute is sourced from authoritative data rather than self-reported by the supplier, and refreshed continuously as company details change. auto-resolved.

Certification data from 450+ councils and agencies, not from suppliers themselves

Atlas tracks diversity certifications and small business designations from 450+ certifying councils and agencies across the US and internationally. Certifications are verified at the source rather than accepted as self-reported, and monitored on an ongoing basis so your team knows when a certification is approaching expiry or has lapsed without waiting for the supplier to tell you.

The sustainability and compliance data your reporting requires

Atlas enriches supplier records with environmental and social certifications, SBTI commitments, CDP emissions indicators, sanctions status, and compliance flags relevant to CBAM, CSRD, and modern slavery reporting requirements. Compliance data applied to verified supplier identities gives your risk and ESG teams a defensible foundation rather than a self-declared one.

KEY FEATURES

Four things that make Atlas enrichment different

Book a Demo
350+ attributes per supplier record

Firmographic data, ownership structure, diversity certifications, ESG indicators, and compliance flags are applied to every supplier record in a single enrichment pass and maintained as a connected dataset rather than siloed by attribute type.

Verified at the source, not self-reported

Diversity certifications and compliance attributes are sourced directly from 450+ certifying councils, agencies, and government registries rather than collected from suppliers through surveys or portal submissions. The data is defensible in a compliance audit because it comes from the certifying body, not the certified party.

enrichment
Continuous maintenance, not a one-time cleanse

Atlas refreshes enrichment attributes on an ongoing basis. When ownership structures change, certifications lapse, or company details shift, the supplier record is updated without requiring your team to initiate a new enrichment project. The data stays current between your own refresh cycles.

Anchored to a verified legal entity

Every enriched attribute is applied to a supplier record that has been matched to a verified legal entity (registered company identity). Enrichment onto an unverified record adds data to a record that may be a duplicate, miscoded, or incomplete. Atlas resolves the identity first so enrichment builds on something solid.

Why enrichment built on verified identity produces different results

Most data enrichment adds attributes to whatever records a company sends in. The quality of the enrichment is therefore limited by the quality of the underlying records. If the same supplier appears under twelve different vendor IDs, enrichment applied to each of those IDs produces twelve partially enriched records for the same company rather than one complete one. 

Atlas resolves the identity before enrichment begins. Once every supplier is anchored to a verified legal entity, enrichment is applied to the correct, consolidated record, and maintained against that anchor going forward. 

Enrichment that survives an audit

When a regulator, auditor, or executive questions a certification or diversity spend figure, the answer needs to trace back to a verifiable source. Atlas enrichment traces to the certifying body, the government filing, or the primary source registration, not to a supplier’s self-declaration or an aggregated score.

Data that feeds AI and analytics correctly

AI models and spend analytics tools inherit the data quality of the records they’re trained and reported on. Enrichment anchored to verified legal entities and maintained continuously gives those tools a reliable, current input layer rather than a snapshot that was right at one point in time.

manual data
No more manual certification tracking

Tracking which supplier certifications are current, which are approaching expiry, and which have lapsed is a manual, error-prone process when done outside a system. Atlas monitors certification status from 450+ councils and agencies continuously so your team is notified when something changes rather than discovering it after the fact.

FAQ, online data enrichment

Frequently asked questions

Details about data cleansing and enrichment

What is the difference between data cleansing and data enrichment?

Data cleansing corrects and standardizes what is already in your vendor master: resolving duplicate entries, fixing naming inconsistencies, and filling in missing registration data against primary source filings. Data enrichment adds new attributes to those cleansed records: firmographic data, certifications, ESG indicators, and compliance flags. Atlas does both in sequence, cleansing and verifying the record first, then enriching it, so the attributes added are applied to a correct foundation rather than an unverified one.

What types of attributes does Atlas enrich?

Atlas applies 350+ attributes across five main categories: firmographic data (revenue, size, industry, geography, ownership type), corporate ownership structure, diversity certifications from 450+ councils and agencies, ESG attributes (environmental certifications, SBTI commitments, CDP emissions data), and compliance flags relevant to sanctions, CBAM, CSRD, and modern slavery reporting. 

How often is enrichment data refreshed?

Atlas maintains enrichment attributes continuously rather than on a fixed refresh schedule. When a supplier’s ownership structure changes, a certification lapses, or company details shift, the record is updated as part of ongoing maintenance rather than waiting for the next enrichment project. Your team does not need to initiate a re-run for updates to reach the vendor master.

How is Atlas enrichment different from what our current data provider offers?

Most data providers enrich records without first verifying the underlying supplier identity. That means enrichment attributes are applied to records that may be duplicated, miscoded, or incomplete. Atlas resolves every record to a verified legal entity (registered company identity) before enrichment begins, so the attributes are applied to a consolidated, verified record rather than one of potentially several entries for the same supplier. Certification data is also sourced directly from certifying bodies rather than accepted as self-reported, which makes it defensible in a compliance review.
