Change of Address

All Change of Address systems have one thing in common: they attempt to find the address to which a person has moved. There are several different methods of performing this task, however, depending on country and the quality of the name and address data to begin with. PacificEast offers a selection of change of address systems which combine data cleansing processes from US and Canadian postal services as well as proprietary components designed to maximize the value of the national systems.

NCOA Name Cleaner – PacificEast's NCOA Name Cleaner is a proprietary tool we recommend for some customers of an NCOA or CCOA process. The name cleaner removes superfluous parts from names. These parts can prevent the change-of-address systems from finding the appropriate address change record. Ask your account manager if adding an NCOA Name Cleaner to your process can help you improve the results you receive from NCOA or CCOA.

CCOA - The Canada Post certified Change Of Address utility uses the name and address from your file (with an optional pre-cleaner for names) and returns a forwarding address. If you're not sure which of your records should go through NCOA and which through CCOA, we can group them for you.

PCOA – PacificEast also offers a proprietary change of address system that detects moves not in the relevant official COA system like NCOA or CCOA. National systems like NCOA and CCOA only work if the resident of an address fills out a change-of-address card provided by the postal service. Proprietary system use other sources of consumer and business moves to find relevant moves of those who do not submit an official change-of-address.
