Improve Deliverability
The Coding Accuracy Support System (CASS) is designed to standardize addresses to the latest USPS standards and information allowing for the proper assignment of ZIP, ZIP+4, and Delivery Point (DP) information.
Only CASS validated addresses can then be processed through subsequent processes to perform additional address quality related operations.
CASS focuses on confirming an address to a known range of addresses. For example, CASS data knows that there are addresses from 10-100 on MAIN ST, or that there are PO BOX values from 100-200. CASS will standardize the street address information by adjusting the address to proper formatting and abbreviations.
While CASS validates to a known range of valid addresses, Delivery Point Validation (DPV) checks the specific address to determine if it is valid for mail delivery by the USPS and/or if there is an issue with the secondary address information (such as, the apartment or suite number is missing or invalid).
LACSLink applies the Locatable Address Conversion System (LACS) data to the CASS coded address. There are situations where addresses are renumbered and/or the streets are renamed. LACSLink works to identify those impacted addresses and provide the new, correct address.
SUITELink applies to business addresses only where the CASS/DPV process identified missing of invalid secondary address information. SUITELink utilizes the Business Name along with the address to attempt to identify the secondary address information where the USPS deliver the mail for that Business. Having the correct secondary address information facilitates mail deliverability and increases the ability to match to Change of Address information when a business moves.
