Scraped 2K Web Contact Details with Remote Data Entry
helped a pharmaceutical company strategize business with fresh contacts
It is a leading pharmaceutical company that holds a significant position in the UK pharmaceutical industry. It’s a four-decades-old company that produces medicines at a competitive price range. The company played an important role in the COVID-19 pandemic time by involving itself in vaccine development work. Besides that, the company also indulges in various relief work to promote its brand in the time of need.
The exceptional thing that the company is relying on is its collaboration. The company ties up with other pharmaceutical companies to develop new formulations of medicines. The marketing team of the company is excellent at influencing other companies to collaborate with them. However, currently, the team is engaged in important work so they lack time for recording media contact details. Therefore, the company asked AskDataEntry to provide offline data entry to meet the temporary needs.
Importance of Remote Data Entry for Pharmaceutical Companies
Remote data entry includes everything that a traditional data entry process includes. The only difference between these two processes is the mode of working. The remote data entry process is much more effective as the professionals can serve in 24/7 circles. Pharmaceutical companies manufacture their medicines and maintain public relations with all stakeholders. They need data entry experts for various needs including document maintenance, data scraping, and other works.
Remote data entry serves exceptional services in terms of recording product details. Pharmaceutical companies maintain a wide range of products with their in-house processes. However, by delegating the same task to a professional remote data entry process, they can manage their products better. Remote data entry service can prepare product catalogs, product lists, and many other things. On the other hand, they can also handle marketing operations with clear instructions. Also, they can meet all the document conversion needs efficiently with their expertise. Outsourcing is the best option to get this service in time with all additional requirements.
Challenges the Company Faced
The company wanted to connect with some collaborators to manufacture their medicine. For that, they needed collaborators’ information in a database so that the marketing team could operate through that. Therefore, it allowed its in-house team to perform all the tasks regarding this. However, they did not perform the task completely and met with the following challenges regarding that.
The internal team started recording data from the company’s old documents that became irrelevant at this point. It was a complete waste of time for the team to record data from the old databases. The maximum contact details are obsolete due to time and the team relied on that. This was a huge blunder for the team and they were still scraping that until we forced them to stop.
The internal team scraped incomplete data records from the web unknowingly. It happened because they were not aware of the data entry practices at all. All the members of the team were experts but in respective management areas not in data entry work. Hence, having errors in the process is the most common thing at this time. They made incomplete records where half of the data was missing completely.
Besides posting incomplete records, the team did not maintain a fixed format for the records. They all went through different formats for entering records in the database. Some files are in Excel whereas some files remain in PDFs. It created a major blunder in managing all the records properly and degraded the value of the records. On top of that, the database is full of typo errors. The client admitted that some typos they did not make due to a lack of skills and expertise regarding after-post updating.
The client was about to launch a marketing campaign by listing out all the marketing contacts. However, due to the inefficiency of the data entry team from the client’s side, marketing campaigns got delayed. Not only delay, it also costs the company to cover up the delay. To make the process quick and effective, the company went to outsourcing the entire process.
Solutions from AskDataEntry
The client wanted to have a detailed list of contacts of some corporate companies that can collaborate with them. They need all the contacts in their database in appropriate measures without making any mistakes. Hence, we made an advanced plan where we considered all the requirements of the client. The methods we follow in developing and implementing our solutions are described below.
We initiated the project by assessing the requirements of the client from scratch. The company shared some brief details about the project via email at the starting level. Later on, we contacted the client for further discussion whenever we felt any roadblocks. We took the help of our internal experts to assess each detail of the project briefly.
After understanding the details of the project and fixing the deadlines, we sent the SLA for this project to the client. Plus, we sent some of our sample work as a demo to them for their client’s understanding of our work. Eventually, the client went through our demo work and read sour reviews before signing the SLA papers. Once they sent the SLA, we immediately started working on the project with our team.
First, we identified and marked all the corporate companies that are operating in the US pharmaceutical industry. We included all companies that are associated with this industry, be it manufacturing or software developing companies. Next, our team marked the relevant companies for this project and went through all their office pages to find contact information. Lastly, we prepared a database by including all the contact information that we got by scraping the websites.
Initially, we found more than 5K company names and contact numbers for this project. However, the client wanted only quality information thus we rejected many of the contact information that we feel incomplete or missing. Lastly, we delivered around 2K contact details to the client in a proper database.
