In the U.S. there are between 30 and 40 million residential and business moves annually. This means there’s a good chance you can lose track of customers, clients or prospects. Our real-time change of address service, NCOA Live, ensures your customer management system is accurate and up-to-date.
Your customers and prospects are constantly on the move, making delivering essential communications to them a significant challenge. NCOA Live solves this issue by detecting and verifying changes of address in real-time, while standardizing and formatting them to USPS standards.
