Pro Tip
Import only company name and organisation number in the company import and Upsales will automatically dress the companies with current information from Upsales Prospecting. It will save you a lot of time and at the same time get current information about all companies.
Every time you import a new company, create or change a company manually (in Upsales or via an integration), Upsales checks if the company data already exists in Prospecting.
This is done by checking:
- Company name (Identical company names)
- Organisation number
- Prospecting ID number
We only update (Swedish companies) where we get an exact match on company name or ID number. If more than 1 are found (for example if the company has branches) Upsales will not update automatically.
When a unique match for company name, Organisation number or Prospecting ID is found, all data from Prospecting is added.
Company information Upsales updates:
- About
- Address (postal, visting/office, other)
- Board of directors (Prospecting Pro)
- CFAR
- Financials (Prospecting Pro)
- Form
- Name
- Number
- Profit
- Registration date
- Revenue
- Status
- Website

FAQ
How do Upsales match on company names?
If you enter "Upsales Nordic" as the company name, Upsales will not find a match because the company is called "Upsales Nordic AB"
If the company is located in several locations in Sweden, which company will Upsales update against?
"Upsales Nordic AB" is located in Stockholm & Linköping. When you update the "Upsales Nordic AB" customer card, no automatic update will take place because we find 2 companies with the same name or organisation number. (If the company does not already have a Prospecting ID, then we update the information linked to that ID)
How do Upsales organisation numbers match?
Upsales removes spaces and "-" signs before Upsales matches in the Prospecting database. This means that organisation numbers "555555-5555" are the same as "5555555555".
Which data is master? (Data I type or data from Prospecting)
Data from Upsales Prospecting has priority. This means that what you entered in fields that Prospecting updates is overwritten with data from Upsales Prospecting.
I enter 5M in turnover but when I look in the customer card it says 15M. What's going on?
If you have not switched off automatic company update, the customer card is updated every time a company is saved. The update retrieves current data from Upsales Prospecting. This means that information you enter manually or via an import is overwritten with information from Upsales Prospecting.
The company has not received any information from Prospecting and I know there is only one company with that name/organisation number, what could be wrong?
In order not to affect you as a user, the update to Prospecting is done in the background and can therefore sometimes take longer to complete. If it has not been updated in 10 minutes, please contact Upsales support.
I have a lot of companies that I want to automatically update, can I do that?
Yes, follow the instructions in this article. In the header there is a button "Update all companies", it uses the same logic as mentioned in this article for updating companies.
