Address Correction

Address Correction and Data Enhancement

Data drives your business, but what if that data is inaccurate or incomplete?

The value of reliable customer contact data cannot be overstated. Best practices for your contact data management should include an address hygiene program. You rely on that data to fulfill your orders, deliver marketing messages to your customers, to bill and receive payments on time, and more.

The facts are, however, that this data is often incomplete or incorrect from the moment the data is captured. Vital address information may be missing when a customer places an order from a catalog, they may transpose numbers in a ZIP Code when filling out an online order form and/or spell a street name incorrectly, or errors may occur during data entry at a call center.

Furthermore, even if all the data is captured correctly, the quality of this information will still deteriorate over time. Customers may move without telling you, ZIP Codes may be changed or reassigned, streets get renamed etc.

The costs of bad data can be very high too:

- Material and packaging costs
- Lost time and labor costs
- Costs of mailing and shipping
- Cash flow issues caused by late or non-existing payments
- Negative impression generated by lost or late mail/packages

It’s easy to see why the size of the problem for U.S. businesses is estimated in the hundreds of billions of dollars every year.
