Important Recommendations:

• name field MUST be as close as possible to the real vendor name.

• Use the senderName field to display short/user-friendly names. We display senderName externally. name is used as an internal reference.

• address field should be a full string with as much detail as possible. We use this to identify vendor industryu

• industry can be any descriptive string. We normalise the industry on our side.
