The Problem: Manual Inefficiency at Scale
Duncan Rogers Engineering, a firm managing a massive database of over 100,000 contacts and over 80,000 companies, faced significant operational inefficiencies. Their manual email verification process was a major bottleneck, requiring staff to spend 15–20 minutes meticulously searching extensive databases for each new inquiry.
This reliance on manual checks led to inconsistent verification processes, created severe bottlenecks during peak periods, and ultimately hindered the company's ability to respond to customers promptly. The existing workflow was not scalable, threatening their growth and customer satisfaction.
The Solution: CRM Data Matching & Email Verification Tool
Custom CRM Data Management Platform
We developed a comprehensive CRM Data Matching & Email Verification System that automates the entire contact verification workflow. This intelligent platform provides instant email-to-contact matching across massive databases, delivering a streamlined, secure, and highly efficient alternative to manual verification processes.
Key Features
- Advanced Matching Algorithms: A multi‑stage system to accurately verify emails against databases with high confidence.
- Secure Data Pipeline: A secure CSV upload feature using Supabase for batch processing while ensuring data integrity.
- Dynamic User Interface: An intuitive UI with color‑coded match results for at‑a‑glance verification status.
Robust Security & Modern Stack
Security was paramount. We incorporated Row Level Security (RLS) to protect sensitive customer data and ensure compliance, building the solution on a modern, scalable tech stack.

Key Takeaways
This case study demonstrates the profound impact of targeted AI automation on a core business process. Here are the main insights:
Automation Frees Up Human Potential
By automating the repetitive task of email verification, employees were freed from manual drudgery to focus on higher‑value activities that require human intellect and creativity.
Bespoke Solutions Trump Off‑the‑Shelf
A custom‑built tool tailored to the specific workflows and data structures of Duncan Rogers Engineering provided a far more effective solution than a generic, one‑size‑fits‑all product could have.
Scalability is Key to Growth
The manual process was a direct inhibitor of growth. The automated system is inherently scalable, ready to handle increasing volumes of inquiries without a corresponding increase in manual effort or cost.
Strong Security Builds Trust
Implementing robust security measures like RLS wasn’t just a technical detail; it was crucial for protecting sensitive data and ensuring the client could trust the new system completely.
Client Testimonial
"We identified a requirement for a system that could match an incoming email to the correct record in our customer database. The existing procedure worked well most of the time but definitely had some shortcomings. Graeme Lawson introduced us to AI 101 Services who developed a bespoke system for us to do this which was up and running in about 6 weeks. The staff at AI 101 are obviously very capable and professional and were a pleasure to deal with and we will be working on developments to the initial system in the near future."
