Digitalization and AI agents

Various implementation stages, from analog realization to complete automation through AI agents.

Address lists maintained in Excel, updated manually on bounce-backs or telephone corrections, separate lists for different communication measures, inconsistencies between partial lists unavoidable.

All contact data managed centrally in the CRM system, updates made directly in the CRM after customer contact, first automatic duplicate checks, segmentation tags for targeted communication.

Businesses update their contact data via online forms and registration pages on the website, automatic email validation on newsletter sign-up, opt-in processes mapped digitally for GDPR compliance.

Businesses maintain all contact data themselves directly in their platform profiles – the database is always current with no individual follow-up, and GDPR consents are obtained automatically through platform registration.

AI agents automate the entire address management of an economic development organization: • Data update agent: Automatically contacts businesses when data inconsistencies are detected and asks them to update their contact details – a current database with no manual research • Bounce management agent: Automatically processes email bounces, flags invalid addresses and initiates alternative contact • GDPR compliance agent: Automatically sends consent requests for expiring opt-ins and documents every consent status completely • Duplicate check agent: Automatically detects duplicate contact entries and runs cleansing workflows • Data enrichment agent: Automatically completes company records from public sources (commercial register, website data) with missing information
