Auxiliary File Processing supports a variety of supplementary data files, allowing users the flexibility to handle unique addressing conditions in an automated environment with no impact on data quality

DPV™ data reduces undeliverable-as-addressed (UAA) mail resulting from inaccurate addresses, for significant savings in production, postage and labor costs.
