WorksRight Software has announced that its popular PER/ZIP4 address verification software has been recertified for CASS (Coding Accuracy Support System) processing by the U.S. Postal Service for the 2009/2010 cycle. PER/ZIP4 matches addresses to the national ZIP + 4 Postal database. This matching process allows ZIP codes,

ZIP + 4’s, and other mailing information to be verified, corrected, and updated. 

PER/ZIP4 is used in mailing operations to insure that outgoing mail has accurate ZIP codes and is free of common mistakes in spelling and format.  Use of PER/ZIP4 for CASS certification is part of the process required to qualify for postage discounts. 

PER/ZIP4 includes many standard features for which other vendors charge extra. PER/ZIP4’s features include a batch interface for processing complete files, an interactive interface for processing individual addresses, and an API interface for incorporating address standardization and validation into existing applications.  PER/ZIP4 also includes, at no extra charge, sample code demonstrating the printing of POSTNET and Intelligent Mail (IMB) bar codes. 

Although PER/ZIP4 is intended as a tool for improving mailing efficiency, many companies also benefit from reduced charges from other carriers. Accurate addresses greatly reduce the number of “charge-backs” for invalid address information. 

WorksRight Software, Inc. has been supplying ZIP Code and telephone area code software to the System i/iSeries/AS/400 community since 1992.  The company is the leading provider of ZIP code and telephone area code software for this market.  Its software is in use at over 1,400 iSeries and AS/400 sites.
