The Client's Gap Problem

When this Fortune 500 financial institution came to us, they defined their current business problem – their existing AVS is widely used within the company and is considered an integral part of their legacy technology. It performs many functions well, however it relies heavily on source data acquired from postal agencies and navigation-mapping vendors. It can’t verify the addresses of hundreds of thousands of their international retail and partner locations. Without reliable addresses, the company can’t communicate to customers where to find services. This lack of reliability frustrates their partner network and confuses customers. Lack of global reliability stood in the way of business success.

They know they need to verify more of these global addresses and their existing AVS is only slowly evolving the ability to meet their global needs. They have a gap between their current success rate and their business need, and they need someone to help them cover it.

Their challenge to us…demonstrate that GDC can help close this gap.

Proof of Concept and Results – Closing Half of the Gap

To conduct the proof of concept, the client submitted their hardest case addresses to process through GDC Worldview. The test represented over 360,000 addresses from 36 countries, none of which could be verified to the client’s standards in their existing AVS.

GDC Worldview uses encrypted cloud-based services to route each address to the designated best address service for its respective country and receives the results with sub-second response time. Each address is scored, corrected or enhanced as needed and returned to the client in the format requested.

In this proof of concept, GDC Worldview verified 48 percent of the client’s hardest case addresses across all 36 countries. Some of the individual country results included:

  • Austria 81%
  • Germany 84%
  • India 78%
  • Japan 63%
  • Russia 57%
The results of the proof of concept far exceeded the client’s expectations. When GDC Worldview can verify 48 percent of the hardest addresses, the benefits are many. It creates goodwill within their partner network by demonstrating that they are using every tool at their disposal to verify addresses. It reduces operating costs by halving the volume of addresses that must be evaluated manually. Most importantly, it expands their marketing reach and drives more revenue for the business.
