Address Checking, Address Correction Software
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 Australia Post Postal Address File (PAF) or equivalent for international addresses. For Australian 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 AMAS 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 Australia 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.
Postage discounts with AMAS certified software
QAS Batch AMAS certified software enables Australian mailers to
qualify for barcoding discounts on outbound mail. Similar schemes also exist
with other international
address data available from QAS.
Easier database analysis and deduplication
When all records in your address database are stored correctly and
consistently thanks to frequent address checking, duplicates are easier to
find and the results of database analysis more accurate and reliable.
Key features
AMAS certified software
QAS Batch is certified by the Australia Post as meeting all the
address checking and validation requirements of the Address Matching Approval
System (AMAS). AMAS is a certification program used to measure the accuracy of
address correction software. AMAS-approved Address Matching software is
required to append a Delivery Point Identifier (DPID) to an addresses record.
Approved software prepares addresses for barcode creation, ensures quality
addressing, and enables mailers to qualify for postal discounts for PreSort
letter lodgements.
Delivery Point Validation
By performing address checking down to the premise level, addresses with
missing apartment or suite numbers can be identified and flagged to the
QAS Batch operator.
Barcode Mail
In addition to address checking and validation, QAS Batch can append
barcodes to addresses qualifying for mail discounts from Australia Post. Bulk
mailers can also benefit from the PreSort letter scheme by using Barcode Sort
Plan (BSP) numbers.
