Only Hopewiser can offer a complete package for handling mixed international address databases. Designed for flexible use, the product includes a complete setup wizard. Foreign Addresser uses the ATLAS International Locality File.

 

    ADDRESS PARSING
  • Input Addresses are broken down into their component parts, allowing the storage of specific data in named fields, e.g. Paris in town field, which enables easier selection and analysis of data.
    ADDRESS MATCHING
  • Improves addresses by adding missing locality elements (town, province/state, postcode, country etc.)
  • Maintains Company prestige by reducing spelling and keying errors on district, town and country fields, and producing, where known, the national version, e.g. Firenze not Florence.
  • International match-keys are generated from the parsed components taking into account such things as:
    • Diacritical Characters (accented characters)
    • Title codes (Mr, Herr, Monsieur)
    MATCH KEY GENERATION
  • Match-keys facilitate the storage and maintenance of records within a database. When used in conjunction with Hopewiser's AtlasDedupe tool, the various keys aid the deduplication process.
    ADDRESS FORMATTING / PTT LABELLING
  • Hopewiser's Address Format File contains all address label requirements defined by the relevant PTT.s (Postal Authorities) in the world. Parsed and matched address components are used to build an address label according to the PTT requirements.
    Foreign Addresser encompasses options to:-
  • Drop the country name from the label when posting directly into a country's mail system.
  • Present the country name on the label, in the language of the mailing country.
    Foreign Addresser is designed to process addresses for countries where:
  • A postal address file is not available;
  • The country's postal address file is not to a standard to provide quality results using a postcoding product;
  • The user's number of address records for the country do not warrant the expense of purchasing the particular postal address file.
