    The platform is best suited for detailed exploration and filtering that allow users to examine the specific records
    that pass or fail a criterion and how they might relate to each other. It also assist in seeing past jobs and compare how quality has changed, providing
    more context than just point values.

    The only situation in which Smarty is not the way to go is if you are validating less than 300 addresses a day. The big disclaimer is that I work with data, so I have a pretty good pace for this kind of work. That being said, any more than that and you're looking at parking someone for hours every day for work that largely doesn't warrant the effort - just go with Smarty.

    • The cost/hit for type-ahead lookups. We have people "try" a lot of addresses, which drives up the cost of obviously wrong data input.

    The tool is very easy to use. Just typing in the first three characters of the first line of the address of the user will return an accurate list of address result options to choose from. Simply select the appropriate address and all the address fields will prepopulate without the need for additional manual address entry.

    I didn't try other specific products. I went straight to the source, USPS API tools, but their limitations, hard to follow instructions, and consistent downtime made me reconsider. I knew I needed a reliable service that would be implemented and work every day without my attention, and it provided exactly that.

    • Vastly improved our address database deliverability. We now have over 95% of addresses in our customer database verified, thanks to Smarty.
    • Our bi-annual catalog cost went down. Already-verified address = lower cost for pre-mailing address correction and verification.

Global Email will validate the corrected and standardized version of the input email. By identifying and fixing typos like “dmail.com” to “gmail.com” prior to validation, the system ensures that each email address is accurate before it’s verified, leading to better results and enhanced mailing listsScreenshot of Melissa vs. Other Email Verification ProvidersScreenshot of Phone Verification: Verify any U.S., Canadian, or international telephone numberScreenshot of Phone Verification Step 1: Input- Validates a phone number at point of entry so bad data never enters your system.
