Match Up allows for the use of up to eight "matchcodes" in a single run for quick, thorough results. You can set one code to search on addresses, a second to search on on phone numbers, etc. If any matchcode hits, dupes are recorded! You can easily create unique matchcodes that look for any length of data from any place in any field. Select from exact matching, Soundex, or Phonetics matching (which recognizes phonemes like "ph" and "sh"). MatchUp also recognizes nicknames (Liz, Beth, Betty, Betsy, Elizabeth) and alternate spellings (Gene, Jean, Jeanne). You can also save matchcodes and use them again in the future — a great time-saver for frequently-used files.

1. matchIT Batch Toolkit: Use this toolkit for batch data quality and identification of matching records for de-duplication, merge/purge, etc. The matchIT Batch Toolkit, unlike most competing products, deals effectively with poorly structured data.
   
   
2. findIT Duplicate Prevention Toolkit: This toolkit can help you to eliminate duplicate contact entries at the point of entry. The toolkit accomplishes this by performing a fuzzy-matching lookup as the record is keyed to check whether the record already exists. To further improve data entry, there is an available toolkit to incorporate rapid addressing. This technology is designed to greatly reduce the number of keystrokes required to complete an address (typically requiring fewer than 15 keystrokes) and validate the address against the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) data file.
   
   
3. cleanseIT Web Entry Toolkit: This is a cleansing component for case correction, genderization, salutation, and name-splitting. The cleanseIT Web Entry Toolkit can help you to make the most of your Web data by screening for garbage and offensive entries. You can specify your own parameters for this and instruct cleanseIT on how to deal with such data. Not only can cleanseIT work directly with Web data as it is entered, but it allows you to simplify Web forms. It can case the data correctly, expand abbreviations, split data into the correct fields, and create salutations to personalize the dialog.

1. AddressCheck
2. Parse
3. StreetData
4. ZipData

The AddressCheck interface can verify that an address is a properly formatted address that matches a valid range of addresses found in the U.S. Postal Service's ZIP+4 database. The CASS Certified address-checking logic enables you to claim discounted postage rates for your mailings. Address Object even generates the form required by the Post Office to claim those discounts.

Address Object can automatically update rural route addresses that have undergone 911 conversion to standard street addresses.

The AddressCheck interface also enhances your mailing list by providing additional information, such as Congressional District, County name and FIPS code, time zone, and several others.

The Parse interface breaks down a street address into its component parts, such as street number, directional (S, NW and so on), street name and suffix (ST, RD, BLVD). If the first pass does not yield the expected results, because the street address follows a non-standard format, the ParseNext method will offer an alternative parsing.

The AddressCheck interface also parses the submitted data, but the Parse interface can be used without initializing the data files required for AddressCheck, making Parse faster to use when full address checking is not necessary. This interface can also parse Last Line data (city, state and ZIP Code) into the separate parts. This is handy if your address data comes to you as lines of plain text instead of discrete fields.

The StreetData interface can match a street name or just a partial name against a ZIP Code and return the known valid address ranges that match that pattern. In conjunction with the AddressCheck interface, StreetData can be used to match incorrect or misspelled addresses to a valid address range. For example, if "123 Main Ave" is not a valid address for the ZIP Code, the StreetData interface can determine that the number 123 falls within a valid range for "Main St," allowing you to use an address record that would otherwise result in an undeliverable mailpiece.

The ZipData interface performs several functions, matching geographic data to ZIP Code and city information. First, the FindZip method returns geographic data about one or more city names that match the input ZIP Code, including automation (or carrier route) information, country name and FIPS code, postal facility type, official "last line" indicator, latitude and longitude for each match. The FindZipInCity methods can return the same information for every ZIP code that matches that input city and state combination. The FindCityInState methods can determine if the input full or partial city name matches a valid city name with the state. This can be useful to help correct misspelled city names in your mailing list.
