Who else wants accurate address information to improve your customer communications?

Anchor Software’s AddressPro is a robust and highly scalable address quality web service solution using Anchor Software’s proven address cleansing technology. Accurate address information helps organizations better communicate with customers, constituents, prospects, employees, and partners; and, subsequently, “address quality” initiatives ensure the accuracy, completeness, and consistency of address data across the enterprise.

AddressPro represents Anchor’s most advanced, easy-to-use address quality solution to date, since it uses industry standard SOAP/XML web service technology, and provides the ability to support multiple users and/or systems simultaneously. This model allows processing threads to share database resources that are used by the address-processing engine. Additionally, AddressPro generates configurable logs that can help troubleshoot issues a user may encounter.

AddressPro provides easy access to address quality wherever data is collected and shared across the organization from multiple touch points. This address data can be used for outbound communications, inbound identification, and business decisions. Data collected through data imports, web portals, call center interfaces, contract administration, accounting, marketing, points-of-sale, or other means can be seamlessly verified and cleansed on premise or via SaaS. Using the provided WSDL (Web Service Description Language) files, users can quickly integrate AddressPro into existing applications or processes, allowing for simplified interfaces between existing systems.

In addition to the direct advantages of improving data quality, AddressPro improves customer communications by matching incoming addresses in real-time or via micro-batch processing. Optional add-on modules such as USPS^® DPV^®, LACS^Link®, Suite^Link®, and geocoding improve bottom line performance and provide valuable information. The results of using this additional information translate into lower costs, associated with data capture, and more thorough customer communications. Whether you need an in-house installation or a SaaS environment, AddressPro provides users access to an unprecedented amount of information, allowing development of custom applications to fit specific needs.

Key Features

AddressPro provides users with a wide variety of information ranging from: USPS Address Verification, Geocoding, Return Codes, Carrier Route, USPS Delivery Point Validation, and ZIP Lookup, therefore making it a complete package. In addition AddressPro provides user flexibility from SOAP or REST architecture to communicate with the Amazon Cloud.

Anchor Software’s SOAP/XML based Web service provides the end user the ability to have multiple users and/or systems perform multiple, simultaneous address verification lookups. Users can create an internal company website, or a stand-alone application in any platform and language of their choice to retrieve this address-lookup information. AddressPro supports HTTP and 128-bit encryption HTTPS connectivity.

Unlike SOAP-based Web services, there is no "official" standard for RESTful Web APIs. This is because REST is an architectural style, while SOAP is a protocol. REST is not a standard in itself, but RESTful implementations make use of standards, such as HTTP, URI, JSON, and XML.
