Values from different tables

Im working on a project for a company that has factions in different countries, and every country has their own database for the transports they do. The problem is that they use different names for the same companies in their databases, and the only thing that is the same in all databases are the registration numbers that the companies have.

Is there a way to make the regestration numbers define the company name? so all the deliveries with 1 as registration number get the name "company 1". So that i can avoid manually replacing over 180 company names.

You could add a Company Dimension table with the company ids and the name you want and relate that on ID to the other tables (You would extract that from the database that has the correct names)

OR add a column with, for example, 'standard name' in the same table (if you have a 'transactions' fact table).  You would get the company name from a join with the table that has the names you want
