Easier to integrate to Smarty... better pricing.
Chose Smarty
Our organization has had trials with this provider. The APIs provided similar functionality; however, we felt it was easier to work with Smarty on licensing. Also, the level of technical support when issues arise has been superior.
Chose Smarty
We evaluated Informatica address doctor and Precisely Spectrum. Smarty's transparent pricing, excellent support and documentation was easy win.

We recommend Smarty to our customers when they are looking for a more premium solution for address completion. The data from Smarty is richer and the autocomplete is more consistent than other providers. The only downside is that it comes with some extra cost, so another provider might be better suited if you're only looking for "good enough".

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 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.
