“Thanks to AddressTools, we have supporter data that is accurate which results in a better supporter experience and a user base that is empowered to take ownership of data quality.”

Verifying and connecting with a clean supporter base means that Oxfam can focus on tackling poverty
Oxfam is a global nonprofit group of millions of people who share the belief that, in a world rich in resources, poverty isn’t inevitable. In just 15 years, extreme poverty has been halved. In 15 more years they believe they can end it for good.
The challenge: quality address data to match a quality CRM
Oxfam GB needed to ensure that the address data held in Salesforce for their supporters was accurate and consistent so that they could focus on communicating with their supporters, rather than worrying about whether it would reach them.
Oxfam GB were confident about the accuracy of the data they migrated into Salesforce from their old CRM platform. They needed to ensure that new supporter data entered was of the same standard. This meant storing consistent address data that was verified against the Postcode Address File provided by the Royal Mail.
The solution: empowering users to verify address data
With AddressTools, Oxfam GB has a solution that runs within Salesforce, integrating into each supporter’s record with a neat widget, showing at a glance if the address has been verified or not.
After an easy installation and setup, Oxfam GB has the flexibility to finetune their settings, making it as easy as possible for their end users to enter address data that is checked and verified.
The result: confidently communicating with supporters
Users across Salesforce can verify address data
“We have been able to empower our users across Salesforce to verify address data rather than it being tied to someone with elevated privileges or working in a particular team.”
Philip Blaney, Solution Architect
Reduced costs
Validating and formatting their address data means that Oxfam GB reduces overhead costs from undeliverable mail.
Trust in their CRM
Just as important, Oxfam GB has a supporter database they can trust. They can be confident that they connect with their supporters, knowing that their constituents will have a consistent experience.
A gift for Gift Aid
The Gift Aid process is a multi-million pound process for Oxfam and is underpinned by data quality, specifically postcode accuracy for UK addresses. AddressTools helps Oxfam keep any manual updates within this process to an absolute minimum (<0.05%*) enabling efficient and timely processing of Gift Aid claims. Oxfam GB uses FinDock to manage Gift Aid claims, among other payment processes in Salesforce.
