CARDIFF, WALES, November 30, 2008 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Tracesmart, leading providers of debtor tracing tools and electronic identity checks, have today announced that they have integrated 3 million mobile telephone numbers into their database. The data is being utilised by Tracesmart's online tracing systems but will soon be offered in the company's other services. The addition of mobile telephone numbers further expands the data sources which Tracesmart's clients can call upon when attempting to trace people.
At present no UK telephone directory exists for mobile telephone numbers so by incorporating mobile numbers into their system, Tracesmart through their corporate arm - Tracesmart Corporate can offer unique service functionality to their customers. Mobile telephone numbers are especially valuable when attempting to trace gone aways as the majority of people keep the same mobile telephone number despite moving residence.
Commenting on the usage of the newly assimilated mobile phone data, Paul Weathersby, Technical Director for Tracesmart, said, "In the first instance we have integrated the mobile phone records into our online people tracing facility, if we have a mobile number for a trace subject we will display it in the profile window."
Speaking further Weathersby noted that the mobile telephone number data will soon be utilised in various other Tracesmart services - these include their e-ID service, mortality screening and gone away system (Existence), and data cleansing solution.
The acquisition of 3 million mobile telephone numbers is one of many data coups for Tracesmart in 2008 as Mike Trezise, Managing Director for Tracesmart, pointed out, "This year has seen us release a variety of new services and greatly improve our service portfolio. I have attributed this largely to our continued successful attainment of new data and the hard work of our now greatly expanded IT team. Our customers can definitely look forward to, and expect, bigger and better things of Tracesmart in 2009 as we strive to stay at the forefront of consumer intelligence provision through cutting-edge technology and diverse data."
