Postal Software Address Verification

Mail*PAINTER Postal Software Address Verification is designed to effectively respond to return mail the day it is received. Ideally, return mail must be resolved and re-mailed the day it is received but sometimes that is not possible

The postal software address verification process involves analyzing and correcting any inaccuracies or inconsistencies in an address or group of addresses. The aim is to reduce each single address into a universally intelligible form that can be clearly traced from any IT system. We will immediately verify the accuracy of the information you have. The verification checks for grammatical errors (double letters, spacing, etc.), out-of-date records, and duplicated data and finally completes the address, which is enriched with any missing information.

Mail*PAINTER postal software address verification has been specifically designed to carry out and automate these operations with precise validation of any incorrect or incomplete addresses. No more problems due to spelling and formatting errors, thanks to the interactive backup of our software with its real-time functions when the operator directly inputs the data (including automatically adding any missing postcodes).

Undeliverable as Addressed (UAA) Mail

In order to be delivered by the United States Postal Service®, mail pieces must be addressed correctly, the address must be readable, and proper postage must be affixed.

• If the USPS is not able to deliver the mail as addressed, it will use the return address on the mail piece and try to return it to the sender.
• If the mail piece is addressed incorrectly and has no return address, the mail piece will either be handled by the local Post Office™ or sent to the Mail Recovery Center.

UAA Cost More Than You Think

Undeliverable as addressed (UAA) mail is a clunky name for a big problem: Mail not reaching its intended recipient because the address has the four I’s (Incomplete, invalid, incorrect and inaccurate) UAA mail is costly to both the Postal Service and its customers – about $1.5 billion a year for the Postal Service and $20 billion for the mailing industry.

But the costs of Undeliverable as addressed UAA go beyond just returning, destroying, or forwarding undeliverable mail. For mailers, there are direct costs, such as printing and postage, and indirect costs, such as lost opportunities. A direct mailer has no chance for a sale if the piece never reaches the customer so using the best Postal Software Address Verification makes sure an undeliverable invoice either slows down cash flow or, if the piece never reaches its intended recipient it results in no payment at all.

However, Mail*PAINTER has some very useful advanced functions, for example, real-time self-enhancement which means making the entire process much faster and your work much easier.
