Duplicate Guard – Next-Generation Continuous Duplicate Monitoring

Release date: 2025-10-30

Release details

We’re introducing a major evolution of our Duplicate Guard — now supporting continuous duplicate detection, monitoring, and alerting. This is not a brand-new product, but a completely new version of the existing Duplicate Guard, designed to deliver real-time duplicate intelligence at scale.

The new Duplicate Guard provides:

• Continuous monitoring of your data mirror for duplicates
• Configurable cleaning and comparison logic
• Real-time processing for up to 5 million business partner records
• On-demand reporting
• Extended API endpoints to browse and assess linked records

This new engine gives you an always-current view of identified duplicates and the ability to actively manage exception cases. Important: The existing Duplicate Guard version remains available until all functionality — including specialized consolidation rules — is fully supported in the new release. No changes are required from current users.
