Advanced address coding features

CODE-1 Plus® validates, corrects and standardizes customer address data. Fully certified by the United States Postal Service® (USPS®), the built-in features of CODE-1 Plus provide a reliable, efficient and affordable way to realize reduced postage costs, accurate address lists, improved demographic information, more efficient mailroom operations and improved mail service with greater delivery results.

Track address conversion with LACSLink™

LACSLink uses the CODE-1 Plus address quality solution to access the USPS LACSLink database to determine if an address conversion is required. CODE-1 Plus will return any converted address in a standardized, cleansed format. Using LACSLink, you will ensure address accuracy for improved delivery of mail.

Auxiliary file processing

The USPS adds over 1.5 million new delivery points every year. Used on its own or in conjunction with a subscription, the USPS Early Warning System, Auxiliary File Processing lets users avoid miscoding of records associated with new delivery points. Auxiliary File Processing supports a variety of supplementary data files, allowing users the flexibility to handle unique addressing conditions in an automated environment with no impact on data quality.

Delivery Point Validation (DPV™) Data

DPV data reduces undeliverable-as-addressed (UAA) mail resulting from inaccurate addresses, for significant savings in production, postage and labor costs. DPV data validates the accuracy of address data to the physical delivery point. By incorporating DPV into the matching process, users can determine whether the address exists, down to the finest delivery point, such as an apartment or suite number. Only available through licensed CASS™ vendors, the DPV data set is updated monthly and consists of the nearly 150 million addresses delivered by the USPS®.

Residential Delivery Indicator (RDI™)

Access the USPS RDI file through CODE-1 Plus, enabling parcel shippers to determine whether an address is a residential or business delivery point. This helps mailers determine the best cost for shipping their packages. The RDI file can be purchased directly from the USPS and incorporated within the CODE-1 Plus databases on a monthly basis.
