Practical use cases and examples
Customer name standardization
When dealing with customer records, companies often face issues with inconsistent naming conventions. Using Parabola's find and replace functionality, you can automatically standardize variations like "IBM Corp," "IBM Corporation," and "IBM Inc." to a single standardized format.
Product code cleanup
For inventory management, product codes might contain unwanted characters or outdated prefixes. Create a Flow to automatically clean these codes by removing special characters or updating old SKU formats to match new conventions.
Currency symbol normalization
Financial data often comes with mixed currency formats. Build a Flow to standardize currency representations by finding various symbols and formats (€, EUR, Euro) and replacing them with a consistent format for better reporting.
Finding and replacing values in your NetSuite data doesn't have to be a manual process. With Parabola, you can create automated Flows that handle these transformations consistently and reliably.
