- Supplier Name Normalization is the process by which Resilinc standardizes supplier names from your source files against its global, verified supplier database. This ensures that every supplier in your portal is linked to a globally recognized, unique supplier identity, regardless of how the name appears in your internal systems.
- This step is required before every data load because:
- Resilinc's platform links supplier information (sites, parts, events, risk data) using normalized names. If a name is not normalized, the system cannot correctly associate your data with the right supplier.
- Without normalization, suppliers may appear as separate, unrelated entities even when they are the same company (for example, "ABC China," "ABC Metals," and "ABC Inc." may all be the same parent company under a single normalized name).
- What you need to do:
- Before every data load that includes new supplier names (names not previously loaded in Resilinc), share the list of new supplier names with your Resilinc contact so a normalization request can be raised.
- You can also initiate this yourself by emailing customersupport@resilinc.ai with the list of new supplier names.
- Do not start your DFI import until you receive confirmation that normalization for all new names is complete.
- For loads where no new supplier names are introduced, this step can be skipped.
