Finalist is a USPS CASS-certified software application that helps you manage the address information in your customer file(s). During processing, Finalist:
- Corrects misspellings in firm, street, and city names.
- Standardizes address elements including street names, directionals, suffixes, city names, states, ZIP Codes, and ZIP + 4 Codes and then adds the carrier route codes and delivery point barcodes you need to maximize your postal discounts in compliance with USPS Coding Accuracy Support System (CASS) regulations.
- Compares each address to the Finalist data files to verify the accuracy of each address.
- Corrects errors in the ZIP Code, ZIP + 4 Code, and carrier route codes. These codes are the key to USPS deliverability and minimizing your undeliverable-as-addressed mail. Precisely supplies customers with updated data files on a regular basis.
- Performs additional CASS-required processing on your address file including Delivery Point Validation (DPV), SuiteLink, and LACSLink processing.
- Perform additional Finalist auxiliary processing on your address file including AddrScan, Exceptions Table, Early Warning System (EWS), Residential Delivery Indicator (RDI), Enhanced Line of Travel (eLOT), and PreciselyID processing.
