AEP is far more than a simple add-on. It is a powerful, proprietary solution specifically engineered to solve the most complex address standardization challenges.
Why every address matters – accurate address information isn’t just a convenience, it’s a critical asset. Whether you’re a direct mail marketer, a logistics provider, a financial institution, or a government agency, undeliverable mail, misrouted packages, and unverified customer data lead to significant economic losses, operational inefficiencies, and missed opportunities. Even with standard address validation tools, a persistent percentage of addresses can remain uncorrected, often due to missing secondary information or unique structural complexities. This is where Anchor Software’s Address Enhancement Processing (AEP) (including Apartment Append) steps in, transforming your address data from good to exceptional.
Anchor Software, a recognized leader in postal and data quality solutions, proudly presents AEP – Address Enhancement Processing featuring Apartment Append. AEP is not just another add-on; it’s a powerful, proprietary solution engineered to address the most challenging address standardization issues that traditional methods often miss.
AEP leverages an extensive, continuously updated database of names and addresses, combined with sophisticated proprietary matching techniques and advanced programming logic. This allows AEP to meticulously correct addresses that fail to standardize within conventional address coding engines – even in complex scenarios, such as high-rise buildings lacking crucial secondary address details (e.g., apartment numbers).
| Business Impact | How Anchor Software Helps |
|---|---|
| Intelligent Identification | Records that have not achieved CASS™ certification, including those unconfirmed by DPV® (Delivery Point Validation), are precisely identified. |
| Proprietary Matching | AEP then cross-references these problematic records against its vast database, utilizing available information such as first name, last name, middle name, primary address, and any existing secondary address data. |
| Precision Correction | Through our advanced algorithms, AEP intelligently infers and applies the correct address components, filling in the crucial gaps. |
| Seamless Integration & Re-processing | Invoked easily via the MaxCASS OS GUI, the corrected file is then re-processed through MaxCASS OS. This seamless workflow allows you to either treat the enhanced file separately or merge it back with your originally CASS-certified data, providing unparalleled flexibility. |
