Hi DQ Community,

I wanted to share some insights into the powerful custom workflow step for ABN (Australian Business Number Validation) within Experian’s Aperture Data Studio.

Built using our SDK, this workflow step enables users to validate ABNs with a real-time API lookup against the ABR database. It not only confirms the validity of ABNs but also enriches records with key business information.

The ABN validation step returns:

  • ASIC number
  • Entity type and description
  • Registered Business Name
  • Postcode and state
  • Individual name (for sole traders)

Benefits of integrating ABN validation into your workflows include:

  • ✅ Improved data accuracy: Ensures business records are current and correct.
  • ✅ Enhanced compliance: Verifies entity legitimacy and status.
  • ✅ Streamlined onboarding: Reduces manual checks and accelerates customer/supplier setup.
  • ✅ Better segmentation and reporting: Enriched data supports more meaningful insights.
  • ✅ Reduced risk: Helps prevent fraud and errors in business transactions.

Whether you're cleansing legacy data or validating new entries, this step can be a game-changer for maintaining high-quality business datasets.

Curious to hear how others are using this feature or integrating ABR data into their processes? Please reach out to your Experian Account Manager for more details.
