The platform has three key features:
1. Address Verification Feature
- Parsing – component level parsing engine will standardize and validate both partial and full global address inputs by performing a lexicon analysis of the address, identifying and placing each component into their correct category ahead of validation.
- Matching – component level matching engine will match parsed address components to corresponding reference data to validate each element and identify incorrect or incomplete address information.
- Formatting – component level formatting engine will correct and enhance an address or make suggestions if address validation is ambiguous.
- Transliterating – product feature will transliterate words or letters from eight different global character sets into either native or Roman characters.
- Geocoding/Reverse Geocoding – Associate a latitude and longitude coordinate to an address location, further enhancing the precision and value to any geo-spatially aware application. Reverse Geocode solution identifies locations nearest to a latitude and longitude coordinate.
- Postal Certifications – perform certified data processing for postal authority approved address verification in the US, Canada and Australia.
