My suggestion is that you create REDIRECT pages for the names of all those customers. You can then mark them all with a Category:Name_of_Customer which you can add as a sub-category of Category:Customer This means that when you go to the page for the Name_Of_Customer Category, you will get an automatically generated list of all your customer's names, which link to the Customer_#### page. A lot of times on a wiki, categories are your best friend.
