Consensus Method for Supplier Data Validation in the Philippines

Core R&D Activity

Consensus-based validation of TIN, supplier name, and address extracted from receipts.

Business Context

  • ❌ Lack of a public company database in the Philippines
  • ⚠️ Frequent data inconsistencies across receipts (misspellings, missing fields, mismatched addresses)
  • ✅ Need for consensus-based algorithms to establish reliable supplier identity for accounting compliance

System Features

• Data Loading

Import and analyze receipts from CSV/JSON formats for supplier information.

• Field Normalization

Standardize name and address fields to reduce inconsistencies.

• Duplicate & Conflict Detection

Identify conflicting supplier records across multiple receipts.

• Consensus Validation

Apply consensus algorithms (weighted majority, rule-based heuristics, ML scoring) to determine the most reliable supplier identity.
