Some embodiments match address data in a database system having a corpus of address information stored therein. In some embodiments, an external address data for a company that is associated with a set of locations is received. Some embodiments determine whether the external address data matches existing address data that includes the set of locations using fuzzy matching techniques. In order to determine whether two addresses match, some embodiments perform fuzzy matching techniques that uses learned knowledge to identify aliases in the address pair. In situations where a contact is specified along with the external address data, the contact is tethered to one of the set of locations when the external address data is determined to match an address within the existing address data. Some embodiments create a new location for the company using the external address data when the external address data does not match the existing address data.
