# Business Serviced Batch

Data quality is the foundation of any customer management strategy. Analytics, campaign management, customer experience, and reporting are all underpinned by data quality and can have a significant impact on your business efficiency and reputation.

We can help you build lasting customer relationships with our data cleansing and maintenance software.

## How does Business Batch work?

Business batch uses Name, Business Number or Company Number to lookup and validates business data using our unique software.

Simply, send us a flat file (CSV, TXT, XLS, XLSX) via SFTP of business data and we will send you back standardised and validated business information.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.mastersoftgroup.com/batch-bulk-data-services/data-quality-batch/business-serviced-batch.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
