VeriMove uses three tables during the Business Name Matching process to compare records in your input file against the NCOALink database. Precisely certifies VeriMove with the USPS using these three tables. These three tables, formatted and installed in the Tables directory during VeriMove installation, are only used for Business Name Matching.

Note: These tables do not change your input records and do not affect VeriMove output but are simply used to aid in comparing your input records against the NCOALink database to determine a Business Name match.
Table 1. Business Name Matching Tables
Table Name Description
REDEFINES-WORD-LIST.txt Maps commonly used abbreviations to full words
JUNK-WORD-LIST.txt Words that are ignored during Business Name Matching
COMMON-WORD-LIST.txt Words that are given higher value when calculating Business Name Match percentages (used to determine whether or not a match has been achieved)
Note: Precisely certifies VeriMove with the USPS using these three tables. Editing these tables may result in an increase or decrease in your Business Name Matching rate. If your Business Name Matching rate changes significantly, the USPS may audit your Business Name Matching results and require you to recertify using your customized versions of these three tables.
