Why does my Company need a D-U-N-S® Number?


D&B D-U-N-S Number can make it easier for your business associates to do business with you. In fact, some customers demand that their suppliers obtain a D&B D-U-N-S Number.

Used by the world's most influential standards-setting organizations, the D-U-N-S Number is recognized, recommended or required by more than 50 global associations including the European Community, United Nations and the US Federal Government.

D&B D-U-N-S Numbers are easy to obtain, simple to use and accepted worldwide. A unique nine-digit D&B D-U-N-S Number can be assigned to each of your business locations. Once you have your company's D&B DUNS Number, it can:

  • Act as a common classifier or identifier for invoices, requisitions, payments, shipping, customs clearance and other business documentation
  • Ease communications with your customers
  • Link your operation to parent companies, headquarters locations, branches or subsidiaries

D-U-N-S Numbers can help you:

  • Consolidate, cleanse and eliminate duplicate records within your databases
  • Streamline the information held in disparate databases and improve customer service by linking related customer accounts to support a “one customer” view
  • Identify risk exposure and highlight cross-selling opportunities within the same corporate family group
  • Integrate your internal systems by linking payables/receivables and tracking business documentation to the business entity and location level
  • Link interrelated suppliers to enable you to leverage your corporate buying power
  • Integrate additional demographic information from D&B to provide a profile of your customers, suppliers and prospects.
