Customer duplication is an inevitable part of managing customer data.  Duplicate customer records can occur for various reasons. For example, customers often book through various channels and small differences like name variations or different email addresses can create multiple records. Typos, administrative errors and customers booking first as guests and then using a newly created Jezzam user profile are other examples of how duplications can occur.


Jezzam offers a merge feature that allows you to easily identify and combine duplicate records, ensuring your customer data remains accurate and up-to-date for a seamless booking experience.


Understanding the Merge Process

Merging customer information in Jezzam is a straightforward 3-step process:

  1. Selecting the Primary Customer: The primary customer is the record you want to keep.

  2. Selecting the Secondary Customer: The secondary customer’s information will be merged into the primary customer’s record. After the merge, the secondary customer will be deleted.

  3. Reviewing and Merging Information: You will review and decide which information from the secondary customer will be kept and merged into the primary customer’s record.
