Drive out unnecessary costs from supply chain, terminal dues and returns!
Address validation is essential: delivery, customs declaration or proof of address, nothing is possible if the address does not actually exist. Beyond simple correction, sortandgroup verifies and certifies every address using artificial intelligence, cross-checking the entered data against cadastres and official registers. You get reliable, compliant data you can use for every purpose.
When a user enters their address in the corresponding field, they are likely to make mistakes.

Before sortandgroup stepped in, around 25,000 addresses were incomplete or badly written, including 5,000 that could not be found in official databases. Every month these anomalies caused nearly 1,200 parcel returns, 2,000 delays or reroutings and 1,500 customer service requests, for an estimated cost of €42,000. After cleaning its address database, the client cut address-related returns by 80%, reroutings by 70% and customer service requests by 65%. Customer satisfaction rose from 82% to 93%, with nearly €30,000 saved every month, i.e. €360,000 per year.
