Phone Vault
Bulk phone-number dedup & vendor-delivery tracking
A data-operations platform for ingesting large CSV/Excel uploads, normalizing every number to real E.164 format, and deduplicating them against a vendor-agnostic master dataset — within-file, against master, and against a vendor's own delivery history. Staged uploads are reviewed then migrated to master, with exports and per-vendor duplicate/dispute reporting for teams managing high-volume phone data.
