QAS Batch address correction software cleans, completes and verifies existing records in an address database or list. Over time, frequent address checking helps prevent data decay by keeping the address database correct, accurate and up to date.
During a typical batch run, the address checking process verifies each record in the address database against the latest New Zealand Post Postal Address File (PAF) or equivalent for international addresses. For New Zealand addresses, the address correction software will amend incorrect or incomplete addresses, add missing address details and correct any spelling or formatting errors it finds. It will standardise the format of your addresses so that databases can be merged or shared more easily.
QAS Batch is SendRight certified software and is easy to use and install. An intuitive wizard guides the user through the entire address checking process, from the selection of addresses for address cleansing to determining the data output format. The actual address checking then proceeds automatically.

Business benefits
Accurate address checking
QAS Batch address correction software verifies addresses
against the latest New Zealand Post Postal Address File (PAF). Over
time, postcodes and suburb boundaries change. Regular address checking
helps ensure your address database is correct, validated and
standardised at all times.
Better delivery rates
Undeliverable bills, mailings or shipments can result in substantial
costs and inconvenience to you and your customers. Frequent address
checking helps reduce return rates, delivery surcharges and associated
overheads while improving customer satisfaction.

QAS Batch SendRight certified software enables you to qualify
for mailing discounts by providing your business with a Statement of
Accuracy Certificate which is required by New Zealand Post for bulk

consistently thanks to frequent address checking, duplicates are
easier to find and the results of database analysis more accurate and
reliable.
