Address Verification and NCOA Solutions

SmartSoftDQ offers an address verification NCOA solution that helps keep your address database up to date as customers move. In addition, it uses the latest NCOALink™ and ANKLink™ information from the USPS® to improve address accuracy.

Fast and Easy to Use

Also, the solution is easy to use, simple to understand, and very fast. As a result, businesses can reduce returned mail, improve address accuracy, and maintain more reliable customer data.

Improve Long-Term Data Quality

In addition, businesses should regularly update their databases to identify address changes and keep records current. By doing this, organizations can stay compliant with postal regulations while also improving long-term address accuracy and overall data quality.

Who Is NCOA Address Verification For?

NCOALink Services for Accurate Address Data

SmartSoft’s NCOALink service is designed for businesses that want to keep their contact databases accurate, reliable, and up to date.

Why Address Changes Matter

Each year, about 1 in 7 individuals, families, and businesses move to a new address. As a result, outdated contact information can quickly reduce the accuracy of your database. In addition, inaccurate data can lead to undeliverable mail, wasted marketing costs, and lower customer engagement.

Keep Address Data Current

To help solve this problem, the AccuMail Move NCOA solution keeps your address data current as customers and prospects move. In addition, it uses the latest NCOALink™ and ANKLink™ data from USPS® to improve mailing accuracy, support address quality, and reduce undeliverable mail.

How Does NCOALink Work?

NCOALink Address Updates

When the name and address on a mailing list match the name and old address in the NCOA (National Change of Address) database, the system returns the updated address for moves made within the past 18 months.

Additional Move Information with ANKLink

In addition, ANKLink™, or Address Not Known, adds another 30 months of change-of-address information. While ANKLink™ does not return the new address, it does identify moves made during months 19–48. It also provides the move effective date, return code, and match type.

Secure Hosting and Easy Integration

Both the NCOALink™ and ANKLink™ data are hosted on SmartSoftDQ’s secure servers. As a result, there are no monthly updates or separate datasets to install.

In addition, the NCOALink solution can be added to existing address-dependent applications or used as a standalone tool. It also works with most development languages or can run through packaged .exe files directly. Supported languages include .NET, COM, and Straight C.

Secure Servers

The NCOALink™ data resides on SmartSoftDQ’s secure servers, so there are no monthly updates or datasets to install.
