Rules Engine

Automate your shipping policies

Validating shipping addresses is important, but it’s only one part of our comprehensive approach to address verification. We use a sophisticated rules engine to prevent shipments to 15+ different address types.

  • Setup address rules based on your shipping carrier requirements, such as preventing shipments to PO Boxes, or Rural Route addresses.
  • Reduce carrier fees by prompting the customer to fix address issues related to your 3PL policies such as: non-latin characters, and extra long address character limits.

Less Typing, More Converting

Your customers start typing and instantly see relevant address suggestions after just a few characters. Our intelligent matching algorithm understands partial inputs, common abbreviations, and even typos to surface the right address faster.

  • Eliminate failed deliveries with pre-validated addresses that customers see instantly after typing a few keystrokes.
  • Reduce mobile abandonment with touch-optimized suggestions.
