Data Cleansing Address Enhancement
The Royal Mail maintain a database, the PAF(Postcode Address File), of all postal addresses in the UK and this can be compared with any address on a database and used to verify or enhance the information.
The most important elements of an address are the Postcode, the first line of the address and the Post Town. These elements must be correct in order for items of post to be delivered and to match accurately against the other national data enhancement/suppression files.
We use the PAF file to check and update all elements of a postal address and then reformat them so that you have the different elements in individual fields. We also add village, area and county information where it is missing (although this information is not strictly required for postal delivery, it is more complete). This is known as PAF Address Enhancement and is referred to as “PAFfing”.
Where we can match the address completely against the PAF file, we can produce a DPS (Delivery Point Suffix) which is a unique address identifier which can then be used for some sortation processes to help you maximise your volume postal discounts.
