MaxMover^TM, Anchor Software’s United States Postal Service^® (USPS^®) NCOA^LinkTM certified interface solution, corrects mailing lists with regularly updated change-of- address (COA) information supplied by the USPS. Fully compliant with all USPS regulations, MaxMover permits organizations to update their mailing lists and databases in the most efficient way possible.

The USPS estimates that over 40 million people (nearly 15% of the population) move each year.

Using NCOA^Link with MaxMover meets USPS Move Update requirements and qualifies your mailings for First-Class Mail^® discounts. In addition, the use of MaxMover by bulk business mailers improves data quality and deliverability of Standard Mail^® pieces, as well.

The USPS estimates that 2 - 3% of all mail is undeliverable as addressed (UAA) mailpieces.

MaxMover is integrated into MaxCASS^TM, Anchor’s award-winning USPS CASS Certified^TM software. By integrating MaxMover into MaxCASS, Anchor provides address correction and standardization, and change-of-address processing in a single pass of a mailing list. Or, you can run both steps as stand-alone processes! Use of MaxMover allows for a more efficient production solution, fast processing speeds, and eliminates the need to maintain multiple costly address coding systems.

The USPS requires mailers to run a CASS^TM process on lists before performing Move Update.

The USPS has certified MaxMover for use with both the 48-month and 18-month COA databases, and all three NCOA^Link license options: Full Service Providers, Limited Service Providers and End User Mailers.

ANK^LinkTM INTEGRATION
For NCOA^Link Limited Service Providers and End User Mailers, MaxMover is compatible with ANK^Link, an option offered by the USPS, which allows access to 30 additional months of move information beyond the 18- month USPS COA database. By processing with ANK^Link, potential moves in the 19-48 month range are flagged. Then you can either automatically process just those flagged records with Anchor Computer’s Full Service Provider capability to obtain the actual change of address information, separate them for investigation, or drop them from your mailing. ANK^Link provides the power of a Full Service License to Limited Service Providers and End Users.

APPLY OR APPEND OPTIONS
MaxMover provides users with the unique ability to automatically update the original input record with the new address information. Or, append the new information to the end of the original record.

EXTENSIVE REPORTING
MaxMover's reporting capabilities provide for all the USPS-required reports as well as extensive user-customizable reports.

USPS RETURN CODES
MaxMover generates the NCOA^Link Return Codes, which identify possible moves and provides reasons for the possible match or no-match situation. Using these codes, mailers can decide whether they wish to drop the identified records that may not be delivered and research potential corrections for improved accuracy.

USER-FRIENDLY FEATURES
MaxMover has an easy-to-use graphical user interface (GUI) designed to allow users of all skill levels to process COA jobs. Also, with its “autopilot” feature, MaxMover jobs can be automatically queued on a pre-set schedule throughout the day or night.
