Mailing Cost Reductions
Use nCode to verify and correct your addresses. nCode will produce the "Statement of Accuracy" report demanded by Canada Post in order to obtain postage discounts on large volume mailings.


Reduction in Internal Address Management Costs
Since nCode can be used to automatically verify and correct addressing errors, the cost of labour to manually pursue these corrections is eliminated. The costs of investing and processing returned mail and customer compliants is significantly reduced.


Customer Satisfaction
Customers consider misdirected and inaccurately addressed mail as a sign of shoddy and unprofessional organizations who can't be trusted. Make sure your customers stay satisfied by using nCode to guarantee addresses are accurate and consistent everytime.


Financial Risk Mitigation
The credit card issuing business is an excellent example of an industry that uses nCode to reduce business risks. The firms that issue credit cards demand very high accuracy in the addresses to which cards are delivered. Whatever your industry, mitigating financial risks, whether they be due to fraud, customer loyalty, or operational inefficiencies is a major part of the business case for using nCode.


Reduced Systems Development Costs
By integrating nCode into an enterprise's systems architecture as an address management server, the costs of address management can be even further reduced. nCode will operate on the platform of your choice and respond to requests for address verification and correction on demand. One of our customers did just this in order to provide this service to health care providing facilities throughout a province.




Efficiency
nCode's program and database is extremely efficient, allowing for all of the information to reside in RAM on a PC. This results in much faster response than that provided by competing solutions and translates into faster batch processing times or faster responses to call centre operators who can then process more customers per day. This efficiency results in reduced costs per call. In most cases, using nCode, an operator need only ask for a street number and a postal code in order to get a complete, accurate, and precisely formatted address.


Timeliness of Address Data
Since nCode database updates are issued monthly, you are assured of having the latest data from Canada Post, enabling you to quickly respond to changing postal code coverage and to have new postal codes very quickly.


Getting it Correct at the Source
The easy integration of nCode into the front end of Customer Relationship Management Systems or other customer-facing systems allows for very efficient and accurate capture of a customer's address as it is being entered into the system. If nCode is incorporated into a system which is being used directly by the customer to enter their data, the need for your company's staff to process this data is eliminated and yet address quality is maintained through the power of nCode, which will help the customer get it right, and in the format your organization requires.


Automation of Address Standardization and Formatting
By standardizing address formats, you facilitate a number of important functions that an enterprise must address. nCode makes cleansing databases much easier by ensuring that addresses won't be mismatched due to record layout differences, or even due to subtle variations in punctuation, abbreviation, or formatting. nCode lowers the cost of developing interfaces between systems. For example, credit checking services such as Equifax demand tight control of the name and address information being sent to them for processing and specifically charge you for bad transactions. nCode can easily structure the address information before sending it to eliminate failed transactions, saving you real money.


Systems Replacement Costs
When replacing an old system with a new one, the data migration challenge is usually a massive one. The power of nCode to process, reformat and cleanse this data significantly reduces the cost of data migration. Its awesome throughput means that such conversions finish in record time, allowing for the processing and re-processing of the data on small machines such as PC's if you wish. Because nCode is identical on all platforms, there is no loss of skills in the development department and no new learning curve to climb when you migrate from one paltform to another.
