The Merchant Lookup Service at Intuit enables users and products to look up business details by:
Business name (including partial name & misspellings)
Business location (street address, latitude and longitude)
Business type (category, SIC)
User location (IP,GPS-enabled device location)
This powerful service enables auto-suggest, auto-complete and auto-correct within product. The project aims at providing a more complete, canonical business profile by bringing together data and metadata from across the various information providers as well as merchants from Intuit's small business customer base. The Business Directory Service is available as a web-service that can be integrated into desktop, web and mobile applications. It is available through a REST API whose response times are minimized because the data is indexed in Solr and distributed. The backend is powered by HBase, which stores this comprehensive,deduplicated, canonical merchant information. Hundreds of millions of records that have duplicates that exist due to sparse, manually entered information by Intuit's small business customers as well as records from different information providers are de-duplicated through a series of Hadoop jobs resulting in a canonical set of merchants. The deduping pipeline has various components like Reader, Index Generator, various Matchers, Score Combiner and Merchant Splicer.
