Why Do You Need Gender Data in Excel?

Excel is the workforce of the modern business world. Millions of professionals use it daily to manage their most valuable asset: their contact lists. However, these lists often lack crucial demographic details that drive engagement. A simple list of names and emails is often not enough to build a meaningful connection. By adding gender information to your datasets, you unlock a new layer of personalization that can significantly impact your bottom line:

• Personalize Email Salutations: Stop using generic greetings like "Dear Customer." Automatically generate "Mr." or "Ms." salutations to show respect and increase engagement.
• Segment Your Audience: Tailor your marketing messages based on gender. Send relevant product recommendations (e.g., men's vs. women's fashion) to improve click-through rates and conversion.
• Clean Legacy CRM Data: Before importing data into Salesforce, HubSpot, or Pipedrive, ensure your records are complete. Fill in missing gaps in your customer profiles automatically.
• Analyze Your Demographics: Understand who your customers essentially are. Visualize gender distribution within your user base to make informed product and marketing decisions.

Powerful Features for Power Users

Bulk Processing at Enterprise Speed

We understand that business data comes in volume. Whether you have a file with 100 rows or 100,000 rows, performance matters. Our infrastructure is built to handle massive datasets efficiently. The Excel Add-in processes your lists in intelligent batches, ensuring stable performance even with very large files. You can let it run in the background while you continue working on other tasks, without freezing your spreadsheet.

This batch processing capability effectively means there is no hard limit on file size. You can clean your entire database in one go, saving hours of manual work or complex scripting.

Unmatched Global Accuracy

Name origins are complex and diverse. A name like "Andrea" can be male in Italy but female in Germany. Our database covers over 190 countries and contains over 6 million unique first names, allowing us to account for these cultural nuances.

When you process a list, you can optionally specify a country column to increase precision even further. If no country is provided, our advanced AI algorithms perform a global lookup to find the most likely gender assignment. We strictly handle multi-part names, hyphenated names, and even non-standard characters with ease, ensuring high coverage for international customer bases.

Data Privacy & Security

We take data security seriously. Your Excel data is transmitted via 256-bit SSL encryption. We never store your uploaded lists permanently. Once the processing is complete, the data resides only on your local machine in your Excel file. We are fully GDPR compliant, making us a safe choice for enterprise use.
