Accurate and efficient bulk cleansing of addresses

SCNZ is a charity and relies on donations to fund their efforts. To collect donations, SCNZ utilise both telemarketing and face-to-face agencies. SCNZ receives data about new donors from these agencies, including address information. Each agency may have a different method to obtain this data. SCNZ needs an address verification service to ensure the addresses collected are in the same format, are accurate, and are eligible for physical mailings.

Prior to using Addressfinder, SCNZ utilised another address validation provider and also had manual address entry within some of their web forms. They found that many of the addresses returned by their provider would be inaccurate. A lot of time was spent trying to decipher these addresses and the manually entered addresses. When SCNZ made the move to a cloud based system, their provider did not offer a cloud based solution and quoted a high figure to build one. They did a quick search and found that Addressfinder was a local provider that offered a cloud based solution and was much cheaper than their quoted price from their current provider - “it was a no-brainer”.
