What We Do

Monitor and automatically cleanse your customer data for moves, address updates, property changes and more.

Simply upload your data using the web-based portal and set the alerts you want:

  • Address Update: Verify street addresses using official USPS® postal data and identify changes to street number, street name, city name and ZIP Code.
  • Change of Address: Identify individuals and businesses that have moved over the last 48 months. On average 28 million people move each year in the U.S.
  • Property Transaction: Monitor historical data and current property transactions including changes of ownership and mortgage data.

Once you’ve set your alerts, forget about it. We’ll send you alerts each time a record is updated so you always know exactly what’s happening with your data – at all times.
