Work with BvD Connector
The BvD connector offers insights to improve customer engagement through matching, enriching profiles, hierarchies, and relationships.
- Name of the organization
- Address of the organization with primary address indicator set
- Type of the address
- Get Match API to search for and match a record with the BvD database. You can search for the organization name, organization address, and confidence code or match score.
- Get Details API to search for and enrich the matched record with the organization data using the BvD Identifier. Organization record is enriched with additional data from BvD including an updated corporate hierarchy.
On-Demand Mode
Organization data matching can be done using the Get Match API of the BvD connector. You can add additional details using the Get Details API of the BvD connector.
Data stewards can use the on-demand mode to search for data using the BvD match button on the UI. After clicking the button, the search records are available from the Potential Matches perspective, and the data steward can select the record to be merged. If the search records indicate a match score of 1, then records with a match score of 1 are merged automatically.
Generate Matches
The Get Match API can be triggered by a user through Reltio’s
Profile page. The matching process can return one or more potential
matches for your records from BvD Orbis. A matched record displays a unique BvD
identifier of the account, name as given by BvD, and addresses.
To get the BvD matching records for a single organization, click the BvD match button on the Profile page.
Initially, no matches are shown on the page. After you click the BvD match button, the relevant matches appear once the API completes its request. A pop-up window also displays the number of potential matches.
If an exact match is found with a match score of 1, then the match is automatically retrieved and merged with the organization profile.
You can further enrich and update the organization profile with a corporate hierarchy using the BvD details button.
Generate Address and Organization Hierarchy
The Get Match API can be triggered by a user through Reltio’s
Profile page. To get more details for a single organization, click the
BvD details button on the Profile page.
After you click the BvD details button, the relevant matches display once the API completes its request. A pop-up window also displays a message saying the data has been enriched.

Batch Mode
This mode is typically used for an initial data load, when organizations’ BvD identifiers are not available. It can also be used to periodically append a new organization's data in a Reltio tenant with the latest BvD data.
Real-time Mode
You can configure match operations in real-time using Reltio events published into Reltio external queues. During the process, each recipe in RIH waits for new events in the corresponding queues, converts them to BvD match requests, and calls the BvD match recipe.
