The Finnish (FI) Postal Matcher compares your data with the FI database and returns address details and database matches.
The primary functions of the FI Postal Matcher are to:
- Parse unstructured address data and assigns components to the correct attribute
- Standardize components to the correct format based on the requirements of the local postal authority
- Return full postal address from partial data
- Correct spelling errors and adds missing components
- Correct or adds postal codes
- Populate the Postal Matching Output area with the result
The Postal Matchers use output from the parsing process as inputs. To obtain optimum performance, the input to the Postal Matchers must first be sorted in geographic order, using the Sort Utility.
