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.
