I-Centrix
Our Services
We have developed proprietary name and address conversion software designed specifically to identify and reformat addresses for improved deliverability. The software intelligently recognizes address components and ensures they are placed in the appropriate sections of the address grid. This process not only enhances deliverability, it also provides a foundation for improved deduping.
In addition, list specific quality control reports are automatically generated and, as is the case with all I-Centrix reports, are made available to our clients in an Excel format. For a sample of the List Conversion Quality Control reports simply login to this website and click on the "Sample Reports" option.
All files processed at I-Centrix undergo a CASS™ address standardization process. The process validates and corrects ZIP® & trade codes, assigns ZIP + 4® codes, CRRTs, Delivery Points, and eLOT™ postal codes. It also can correct city misspellings and erroneous state abbreviations. Combined with the value inherent in our list conversion process, standardization ensures that your mailings have the highest possible address quality.

The USPS® has consolidated the functions of two change-of-address products into the NCOALink® product line. Former change-of-address products such as NCOA and FASTforward® have been discontinued. I-Centrix is a NCOALink® Limited Service Provider. This allows I-Centrix to apply updated address information to lists based on an 18 month database provided by the USPS®. In addition, for an additional fee I-Centrix can also offer change-of-address processing against the 48 month USPS® provided database through an NCOALink® Full Service Provider partner relationship. Both data utilize the same matching rule sets and return codes (formerly known as NIXIE codes), the only difference is the data quantity.
Given this information, when should mailers use NCOALink® Limited (18 month) service, and when should they use NCOALink® Full (48 month) service? The answer boils down to price, cycle time and return on investment. If you are interested in learning more about how to determine the appropriate mix of these services for your particular needs, please contact your I-Centrix representative for a free consultation.

DPV™ service is designed to bring data validation to a finer level of precision. DPV™ processing can be used in several ways to improve deliverability and increase response rates. It can be used to:
- Determine whether a particular address - a specific house number, apartment number, or suite number - is known to the USPS® as a valid point for delivering mail, which helps reduce mail-order fraud.
- Identify whether an address is a Commercial Mail Receiving Agency (CMRA), such as Mail Boxes Etc., which can reduce fraudulent credit card orders.
- Increase the accuracy of matched records and help create a more accurate view of each customer, resulting in more sophisticated marketing campaigns, such as loyalty programs, or more highly personalized offers.
