What is Match IQ?
Firstlogic Match IQ is our self-managed server software product that provides an enterprise-class solution for matching and consolidating data within & between one or more datasources. Match IQ is configurable, allowing you to configure and execute job files using our user interface or via a command line call. For more customized needs, you can also build your own custom workflow by integrating directly with the SDK.

No-code and API

Match & Consolidate
Match duplicate records.
Duplicate records often exist in one or more source systems, so the goal of data matching is to determine whether records refer to the same entity. This involves evaluating how well the individual fields, or record attributes, match each other.Deduplicate with match algorithms and confidence levels.
Matching algorithms can help correct data entry errors, character transposition, and other data errors to match records. You can set rules based on combinations of various elements matching at a certain threshold.Single best record & merge/purge.
Once matches have been identified, data from these matched groups can be salvaged and posted to form a single best record, or posted to update all matching records.What do you get with Match IQ?
Built-in Matching options.
Match IQ ships with fuzzy matching options which you can configure from our user interface, including:Numeric range ( for example +/- 3mm)
Date range (for example, +/- 35 days)
Geographic (for example, closest store to a customer record, all business locations in a radial range)
There's more.
Match IQ comes with a number of extra features that allow for easy and automatic matching operations, including:Exact and fuzzy matching algorithms
Logical AND/OR match expressions
Data matching within & between data sources
Fine tuning match confidence levels
Job scheduler for automatic data matching
One solution for data deduplication
Build Single Customer Views.
Combine both internal and external data into a single file to create a streamlined view of your customers. Consolidate account records to create a single, complete view of your customers. This is referred to in the industry as Single Customer Views (SOCs).Implement householding strategies.
Use “householding” techniques to identify members of the same household or company. Members of the same household can then be merged into a single record if desired. Match IQ has householding functionality for the following strategies:Consumer householding
Corporate householding
Configurable for any use case
Configurable match definitions and criteria.
Create multiple match definitions, and each definition can hold multiple criteria. This structure helps you create various logical AND/OR expressions, based on which the data records can be matched. Furthermore, you can assign custom weights to matching fields to ensure prioritized calculation of match scores.Match scores and confidence levels.
Optionally output the match results in terms of scores that indicate the level of match confidence. You can set the deciding level that classifies records as a successful match or non-match.Resolution of false positives and negatives.
Rerun match algorithms with varying threshold levels and choose the deciding value that ensures least number of false positive and negatives. Moreover, you can also flag records as duplicates or non-duplicates and correct any misclassified record.

Frequently asked questions about Match IQ
Do you provide an API (Application Programming Interface) for Match IQ?
Yes. We provide a developer SDK along with this product. For more customized needs, you can use this SDK to build your own custom workflow.
What is consumer householding?
Match IQ can be configured to use “householding” techniques to identify members of the same household. Members of the same household can then be merged into a single record if desired. This technique can be used to consolidate mailing databases and can prevent duplicate mail from being sent to a single household.
