Address verification software at point of entry
QAS Pro address verification
software is designed to instantly validate any address against the latest
* U.S. Postal Service® (USPS®) DPV
file.
Users enter an address using the software, which then automatically finds and supplies the deliverable, complete and standardized address into their existing database application, all in around 12-15 keystrokes.
Performing postal address verification at the point of data entry is a highly effective way to improve address data quality:
- In the call center - operators only accept deliverable addresses and can quickly look up and verify address details that are often missed like Apt/Suite number while still on the customer call.
- In operations, IT, marketing etc. - back-end maintenance and address correction is more effective when an address database consists of pre-verified, pre-standardized addresses.
QAS address verification software works with almost any established or custom-built database or CRM system. The software is easy to use and install.

Key features
Address finder with fuzzy matching:
QAS Pro is easy to use. To look up an address, only parts of the
address such as typically the ZIP Code, the first few letters of
the street name and a house or apartment number are required to fully
verify the address. Helpful prompts and comprehensive picklists are
provided throughout to aid the address verification process.
Error prevention through front-end address validation:
Postal address verification software has traditionally been employed
as part of back-end data scrubbing systems, which struggle to
automatically fix incomplete addresses. QAS Pro's front-end address
finder and verification functionality can prevent incorrect addresses
from entering back-end systems in the first place.
Address standardization for use with any application:
QAS Pro address verification software returns standardized addresses in
a customizable format and layout. A tool bundled with the software
makes it quick and easy to adapt the address format and layout to suit
almost any database or application.
For optimum address data quality:
Address validation should be performed on every new address taken over
the phone or
via the Web, while
legacy data can be cleaned with
CASS
Certified QAS Batch address cleansing software.
Multiple country support:
QAS Pro offers the flexibility of
international address verification if required. Popular additional
address data includes UK and Canadian addresses.
