Abstract
A duplicate lead removal system comprises a matching engine, a vendor duplicates database, and a conflict engine. The matching engine is configured to determine at least one vendor to receive a lead. The vendor duplicates database is configured to store duplicate lead information that is at least partly created by and received from vendors outside of the duplicate lead removal system. The conflict engine is configured to compare information that is at least derived from the lead with information stored in the vendor duplicates database in order to determine if the lead is a duplicate lead for the vendor such that the system can prevent transmission of duplicate leads to the vendor.
Claims19
A computing system comprising:
- at least one computer-readable medium configured to store data and computer-executable instructions;
- at least one hardware computer processor in communication with the computer-readable medium and configured to access the data and computer-executable instructions stored in the computer-readable medium and to cause the computing system to perform operations including:
- determining vendor criteria usable to identify contact information to provide to vendors associated with the vendor criteria, wherein the contact information is associated with one or more people;
- applying the vendor criteria to identify a first contact information associated with a first person satisfying vendor criteria associated with a matched vendor;
- accessing a vendor database storing, for each vendor of a plurality of vendors, incomplete contact information for each person of a plurality of people already transmitted to a respective vendor, or received from the respective vendor, wherein the incomplete contact information is insufficient to contact a corresponding person;
- in response to determining that the first contact information is not associated with the incomplete contact information for the matched vendor based on a comparison between the first contact information and the incomplete contact information for the matched vendor, transmitting the first contact information to the matched vendor;
- and
- in response to determining that the first contact information is associated with incomplete contact information for any of multiple entities that are part of a common organization, wherein the multiple entities include at least the matched vendor and one or more additional entities, and wherein at least one of the one or more additional entities previously received or stored the first contact information, preventing transmission of the first contact information to the matched vendor.

A method comprising:
- accessing computer-executable instructions stored in at least one non-transitory computer-readable medium;
- and
- executing the computer-executable instructions on at least one computer processor, thereby causing computer hardware to perform operations comprising:
- storing contact information in a vendor database for each vendor of a plurality of vendors, wherein the contact information further comprises incomplete contact information for each person of a plurality of people already transmitted to the vendor, or received from the vendor, and wherein the incomplete contact information is insufficient to contact a corresponding person;
- receiving a first contact information associated with a first person;
- identifying a matched vendor, wherein the matched vendor is a vendor that is eligible to receive the first contact information;
- determining that the first contact information is not associated with a person already identified by the matched vendor based on a comparison between the first contact information and the incomplete contact information associated with the matched vendor;
- transmitting, upon determination that the first contact information has not been previously sent to or received by the matched vendor or any other entities related to the matched vendor and part of a common organization, the first contact information to the matched vendor;
- and
- storing information associated with the first contact information to indicate that the matched vendor has received the first contact information.
7 more elements
A non-transitory computer-readable medium that stores computer-executable instructions that are configured, when executed by a processor of a computing system, to perform the operations of:
- storing contact information in a vendor database, wherein the contact information further comprises incomplete contact information for each person of a plurality of people already transmitted to the vendor, or received from the vendor;
- receiving a first contact information;
- identifying a matched vendor, wherein the vendor is a vendor that is eligible to receive the first contact information;
- determining that the first contact information is not associated with a person already identified by the matched vendor based on a comparison between the first contact information and the incomplete contact information associated with the matched vendor;
- transmitting, upon determination that the first contact information has not been previously sent to or received by the matched vendor or any other entities related to the matched vendor and part of a common organization, the first contact information to the matched vendor;
- and
- storing information associated with the first contact information to indicate that the matched vendor has received the first contact information.
