Eliminating Data Doubt: How GeoVerify Ensures Accurate Location Validation

Overview

GeoVerify is the address‑validation and standardization engine in the CDXGeoData suite. Given a free‑form address, it returns a fully standardized, deliverable address—complete with suite/unit normalization, correct postal or ZIP code, and geospatial coordinates—so your applications always work with clean, accurate data.

Key Business Use Cases

1. Address Validation & Standardization

• Correct typos (e.g. “123 Main Stret” → “123 Main Street”)
• Expand or abbreviate street designators (e.g. “Rd.” → “Road”)
• Normalize suite or unit numbers into the proper field

2. Fraud Prevention & KYC

• Block or flag high‑risk addresses that fail postal validation
• Reduce chargebacks and fraud investigations
• Meet address‑based identity verification requirements

3. Shipping & Logistics Safeguards

• Auto‑correct bad addresses before they enter your shipping queue
• Validate international formats for U.S. and Canadian addresses
• Calculate accurate route planning with geocoded output
