Dutch term

contactpersoonkaart

Non-PRO Dutch to English Bus/Financial Computers: Software
"vastleggen van gegevens van de contactpersoon op een contactpersoonkaart"

This is in a document about relationship management software. Could it mean "contact record", i.e. as the database contains a record for each contact? The word "relatiekaart" is also found.

contact information record

I would use the term 'contact INFORMATION record' because a 'contact record' could also mean a record of all the contacts that took place with that person (i.e., meetings, phone calls etc.).

Many hits on google.

A \'relatiekaart\' I would translate as a \'client record\' as this may contain more than just contact information. It could, for example, give details about different departments within the company, whom to contact about what, the client\'s preferences with regard to invoicing and payments, etc.

prospect record card

is a possibility, given the fact that you also have a 'relatiekaart'. It may be that the 'contact' card is held for a potential customer, and the information is then transferred to a 'relatiekaart' (customer record card) when a sale is realised. Just a thought!

contact record

I agree with your own idea. It is possible that contactpersoonkaart and relatiekaart are synonyms. Worth picking up with your client, as there's no point in racking your brains just to make a distinction that isn't actually there...
