Key Features

CASS Certified Address Correction

Address verification with DPV ensures that each address is deliverable. In addition, it helps standardize and barcode addresses so businesses can qualify for valuable postal discounts. Furthermore, the system includes LACSLink for rural addresses and SuiteLink for business addresses. It also adds useful data elements such as county name and time zone, improving overall data accuracy and completeness.

Change-of-Address Processing

Seamlessly integrated, the optional Move Update Module uses NCOALink® and ANKLink™ technology to update addresses immediately for individual, family, and business moves before mail enters the mailstream. In addition, it helps ensure address records stay current and accurate. The module is available in 18-month and 48-month options, giving businesses flexibility based on their data needs.

List Management

Don’t waste time or money preparing mailing lists in Excel or other programs before processing them through your postal software. Instead, SmartAddresser postal software provides powerful list management tools. For example, it includes Custom Dupe Detection, Merge/Purge, and Intelligent Casing. As a result, you can clean, organize, and prepare your data more efficiently while improving overall mailing accuracy.

Parcel Processing

Run Parcel and Marketing Parcel presorts for pieces up to one pound, and print the IMpb (Intelligent Mail Parcel Barcode). In addition, SmartSoft’s postal software generates the Shipping Manifest file for the USPS® eVS system. As a result, businesses can electronically verify parcel jobs, improve processing speed, and reduce manual work.

PAVE Certified Postal Presorting

SmartAddresser supports First-Class, Marketing Mail (Standard Mail), Periodicals, and Bound Printed Matter. In addition, it includes Enhanced Carrier Route and Walk Sequence/EDDM sortation. As a result, users can process a wide range of mail types more efficiently. It also provides full support for the Intelligent Mail barcode for envelopes, trays, sacks, and packages.

Postal Forms and Reports

SmartAddresser creates all required postal forms and container tags, including Qualification Reports, Mailing Statements, tray and sack tags, a CASS™ Certificate, and 20+ reports. Users can also create custom reports with company branding. Reports can be sent to USPS® using the optional Mail.dat tool, which speeds up processing and reduces manual work.

Print Layout Designer

Create your own labels or use one of SmartSoftDQ’s pre-defined label formats. In addition, you can add barcodes, endorsement lines, graphics, a return address, teaser copy, and more to your envelope design. As a result, you can build fully customized mailpieces that fit your needs. Finally, you can save your designs for future use, which helps save time and keep your branding consistent.

Job Automation

The “Watch Folder” automatically processes files as soon as they arrive based on your script. Furthermore, the “Script Timer” lets you run jobs at a set time and date, helping you save time and reduce manual work.

Low Volume Option

SmartAddresser Light postal software is a cost-effective solution for low-volume mailers. In addition, it includes most features of the full version. However, it is limited to mailing lists of 5,000 records or less. As a result, it is best suited for smaller mailing needs while still offering core functionality.

Postal Software Enhancements

Advanced Sortation Modules for High-Volume Mailers

A suite of Advanced Sortation Modules for high-volume mailers, each one seamlessly integrated into SmartAddresser to help ensure every mailing is successful. In addition, these tools improve efficiency and reduce costs, making mailing operations faster and more effective.

SmartSoftDQ’s Palletization Software supports tray-based, sack-based, and package-based palletization options, along with Standard Mail®, Periodicals, and Package Services presorts. In addition, it helps high-volume mailers access additional savings and faster delivery speeds. As a result, businesses can improve efficiency, reduce mailing costs, and streamline their mailing operations.

Mail Manifesting

Document mailings that include pieces of different weights and thicknesses must comply with the USPS manifest mailing system. In addition, these mailings are eligible for postal discounts. The Mail Manifesting Module generates USPS-approved documentation for mail pieces with varying weights and thicknesses. As a result, mailers can process shipments more accurately and meet USPS requirements. It also allows them to pay for non-identical weight pieces using a permit imprint, helping streamline payment and reporting.
