SmartAddresser

...been a user when DataTech owned the license to this CASS & PAVE software. Always been a pleasure

Kommentare: It's made me good money and happy clients over the last 30 years.

Vorteile:

....ease of use; very intuitive; fast and powerful, with a built-in Foxpro command center for building scripts to manipulate data. Excellent built-in database manger. And always had great technical support!

Nachteile:

I have been using this software for 30 years and watched it grow to what it is today. I don't find much fault with it. I came from a DOS environment using presort software named Archlist by Group 1 this was pre-postnet barcode days. In 1995 when the US Postal Service required a postnet barcode for automation presort discounts, Group 1 couldn't get their act together. It was at this time I found Accuzip the original name for SmartAddresser. As a matter of fact SmartAddresser still uses the Accuzip presort and validation engine today. If I had to say what I would like to see improved is, a better algorithm for the CASS validation process, to catch more valid addresses without me having to look up the addresses and validate them myself, but it's not a big deal, most of the lists I've done get a 98% validation score anyway like I said no big deal.

Great mailing software

Vorteile:

I like that you use it's functions in a simple or complex way, depending on your needs. I never have any major issues. Small issues are fixed promptly and customer support is very knowledgeable and have been working there a long time. It does everything I need.

Nachteile:

Some parts can be a little non-user-friendly though it is easy to use once you figure it out.

It has been a challenge, the book does not train for less technical savvy users.

Kommentare: Don't have to hand sort by eye balling zip code very often.

Vorteile:

Search, dupe, saved setting, find individual or group features. Can print on labels, envelopes or printers.

Nachteile:

Frequent updates. Bad addresses that appear to be ok. Does not accept word wraps or if it does I am not technical savvy enough to figure it out with book. Can't delete templates simply.

Been using this for for over 15 years. It does everything I need in mailing software.

Kommentare: I could not run my business without it.

Vorteile:

Versatility. It performs many functions very well. Especially like the commands -- they add a lot of functionality. Customer service is SUPERB. They have helped with very esoteric requests that I needed for our customers. The Software stays up to date with current postal regulations very well. It's quick and it's thorough.

Nachteile:

The fonts are small and hard to read when writing commands or looking up undeliverable addresses. Would like the type to be bigger -- especially as I age! It can be too finicky in determining whether an address is deliverable. It someone misspells "Ave" as "Av," the software kicks the address out as undeliverable. It should be more flexible.

Top-notch software with not too much overhead

Kommentare: It sure does sort our mail lists and keep us up to date with the constantly changing postal regulations.

Vorteile:

Cost is a big consideration. We do like how much value we get for our money. Compared to other solutions, like BCC's Mail Manager.

Nachteile:

add-ons can pile up and lead to some incompatibility issues across our processing solution architecture.
