BCC ZIPFOURce API

Achieve superior address quality

The ZIPFOURce API employs U.S. Postal Service (USPS) CASS Certified™ software technology to provide superior address quality, which can help you acquire and retain clients. ZIPFOURce works as a front-end process that standardizes and corrects addresses and internal lists. Also, it works with your database software to improve the quality of transactional data as it enters your system.*

ZIPFOURce integrates with many Web-based applications and customer relationship management (CRM) programs. It serves as a gateway to USPS address information, such as ZIP+4® codes, postal carrier route and delivery points, to enable up-to-date, correct records.

Highlights

  • Provides delivery point validation with the use of USPS DPV® technology to reveal whether an address listed in the ZIP + 4 database is recognized by the USPS as a deliverable destination
  • Uses LACSLink® to update rural-style addresses to city-style formats, or renames/renumbers city-style addresses that may have been changed by local governments
  • Offers the Residential Delivery Indicator option as an interface to USPS RDI™ technology to identify residential delivery points, allowing informed decision-making when you choose a parcel shipper
  • Offers the SuiteLink™ option to improve business address data by adding known secondary (suite) details, allowing USPS delivery sequencing where it would not otherwise be possible
