This would help us immensely. Especially with companies that have multiple locations. It would be great if we could make the unique identifier the company’s address. Since there is usually only one domain for one company with multiple locations!
This deffinitely needs to happen,SOON! So it doesnt create Duplicates for companies that have multiple locations.
It does not make any sense we cannot create a parent with the univeral website for the company, then sub-companies showing all the various locations of the various offices (which use the same domain name). Think Walmart or Amazon. They have one large corporate office and numerous other offices throughout the nation. Everyone, however, has the same domain email. I need to be able to tie the contact to their specific office address so when I go see them or mail them a gift, I know where they are located (which is not in the corporate office address tied to their domain name). A HS help rep said we are unique in this need and I just can’t see that this is specific issue just with our clientele.
We actually use InSycle to create parent-child relationships AND use our
own unique identifier. In case that’s helpful!
Agreed! Much needed!
We are in transportation, and many of our prospects/customers have many locations, each with their own address, contacts, requirements, etc. Forcing me to use domain name means that we cannot have multiple entries within the same company protected.
We distinguish between companies using DUNS number, a unique identifier used globally. By not allowing us to make DUNS number the unique identifier, we are stuck with a system that is not built to effectively protect our data at all. This is a major hole that should be corrected immediately.
This is quite essential, especially for clients on an enterprise hub.
I have a couple clients that very much need this!
I look forward to this update, we will certainly apply to many customers
This feature is very much needed. Company domain is not always the best way to identify a unique company. Global companies sometimes have a global website with sub-directory urls for countries and you can’t add a domain with a sub-directory. This means that company info gets overwritten.
Trabajamos con una red de 12.000 comercios o almacenes de barrio que no tienen una URL para poder identificar, una lamentable limitación del sistema.
I would love to see this feature implemented, we have our own internal account numbers which are all unique.
Many customers use free email hosts (Gmail, etc) so only setting the company unique identifier as only ‘company domain name’ is very limiting.
This is still badly needed. Companies have multiple locations with the same domain name. This causes a huge headache during imports. HubSpot automatically merges the account information, or won’t import it at all if you do a create only import. This is making so much extra work…
We want the company name to be the unique company identifier. This seems like a really common use case and will cause us some headaches to not be able to do. Would very much appreciate this!
