Can I validate or verify my addresses against global postal authorities such as USPS, Canada Post or Royal Mail?

Do you support US county values?

Yes! You can autopopulate exact county values using both our real-time and automated postal address verification. If you don’t need full postal verification, you can populate US-county values using US-ZIP-based values.

Does AddressTools support custom objects and custom fields?

Yes! AddressTools Premium supports custom objects and text fields.

Can I add my own country and state data or make changes to existing values?

Yes – you have full control over any of the data installed in your organisation. The package provides 7 custom objects which are populated with records which act as the data backbone for the product. These can be updated just as you would edit any other record in your environment.

I have address data being entered in many different formats. Can AddressTools handle this?

Alternative Country/State Names is a feature supported in the Premium version of AddressTools. In this, you can add a list of acceptable values for a single country/state, some common data is provided out-the-box such as England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland being acceptable values for the United Kingdom. Global standards are also acceptable out of the box such as ISO-2 and ISO-3.

Can I choose which addresses to verify?

Yes you can! You can manually verify addresses in real-time on a per-record basis or you can schedule automated verification for records defined in a Salesforce report. Further flexibility is available, just drop us a line!

I’m a Non-Profit. Do you offer any discount?
