Address database correction software for Canadian addresses

QAS Batch cleans, completes and verifies existing records in an address database or list. Over time, frequent address cleansing helps prevent data decay by keeping the address database correct, accurate and up to date.

During a typical batch run, the data cleansing process checks each record in the address database against the latest* Canada Post Corporation address data file. It then verifies and standardizes the address as well as adds missing address details and corrects any spelling or formatting errors.

QAS batch is SERP-certified and is easy to use and install. An intuitive wizard guides the user through the entire address cleansing process, from the selection of addresses for data cleansing to determining the data output format. The actual address data cleansing then proceeds automatically.
