OVERVIEW OF MOVE UPDATE PROCESSING
Using the VeriMove™ Access Interface
From Precisely

Approximately 40 million customers of the United States Postal Service® (USPS®) file a permanent Change of Address (COA) each year. Unfortunately, for you and your company, your customers and prospects do not always notify you of their new address. As a result, your customer communications, sales promotions, and invoices result in returned mail due to an undeliverable address.

Undeliverable mail has an adverse effect on a company’s bottom line. It is not uncommon for a large corporation to waste in excess of $10 million annually because of returned mail as a direct result of an outdated customer database. Large corporations aren’t the only mailers affected. Returned mail affects all mailers, large and small, proportionally. A 2% return rate is the same proportion whether you are mailing 100 or 100,000 pieces.

The USPS® NCOA^Link™ technology is an option available to meet the First-Class Mail® Move Update requirement in Classification Reform announced in 1996.

Today, you may be utilizing the USPS® Address Change Service or an outside service to meet the Move Update requirement. In the case of an outside service, often this involves sending your mailing list to a vendor, waiting a few days for the company to process it and then receiving it. Both can be expensive and time consuming. Worse yet, you may not be meeting the Move Update requirement at all. If that is the case, you may be receiving discounts illegally in addition to absorbing the high costs associated with returned mail rate.

There is a solution. Precisely has developed a cutting-edge, data-quality tool designed to provide you with uninterrupted processing of your mail. All you need is an Internet connection to access the Precisely Move Update processing servers. 

It’s fast and easy to use. Integrated into our CASS™ certified, you can upload your mailing list to be processed by our NCOA^Link™ licensed systems housing the NCOA^Link™ data. 

Best of all, the data is current. The data is updated every week, thus providing you with the most current address information available from the USPS®! Since we have obtained a Full Service Provider License of the NCOA^Link™ technology, these Change-of-Address records are retained in the NCOA^Link™ file for at least a forty-eight (48) month period prior to the current date.

After you send your mailing list to our servers, recent moves are identified and you can then download your mailing list back into your software so it can be postal coded and pre-sorted to achieve the maximum postage discounts available. It’s fast, simple and above all easy-to-use.

Once you have a registered account, you can logon to our servers and manage your account directly by going to Customer Account self management web pages at https://verimove.spectrum.precisely.com/ftiauto/. Once you logon, you can perform such tasks as:

• Update your contact information
• Request additional List ID’s
• Obtain the current USPS® forms required to renew your List ID’s with your currently registered
• Information pre-populated
• Review a history of the runs you’ve performed
