Check postal addresses. With pinpoint accuracy.
You can only reach your customers if you have deliverable and correctly written addresses. Not just postal – also emotional-cognitive. To prevent errors, addresses must be checked as they are entered. But even that is not enough: Up to 1% of correctly entered addresses become invalid each year as a result of municipal mergers or the renaming of streets. It is therefore also necessary to regularly check the address data and to update changed streets, postal codes or towns or cities.
Improved duplicate identification
“The cookie-cutter approach” is not always negative: A standardized address is an important building block for identifying duplicates and consolidating customer data from multiple sources. Postal standardization before adjustment simplifies the subsequent measures and increases the hit quota. With addresses that are divided into individual fields – such as, postal code, town/city, street and house number – customers can be found with precision.
International formats
Bohemian village? Chinese written in the opposite direction? Country-specific standards and rules in international post make it difficult to use the correct address.
