Welcome to our 2023 Quarter 4 Global Address Newsletter. We are happy to review some of our recent improvements as well as upcoming items.

2023 Q4

 Turkey

We are excited to partner with Başarsoft to provide access to the best address and geocoding data available for the country of Turkey. Başarsoft is the premier in-country provider of address and geographic information for the country and is the exclusive authorized MapInfo representative for Turkey since 1999.

Canada Geocoding Improvement

We have gone back to the drawing board to significantly and thoroughly improve our geocoding results for Canada. If you draw an eastward line from Seattle until it hits Maine, more than 50% of Canadians live below that line. Just a fun fact!

 UPCOMING 

We are working toward some major new updates and features in upcoming releases:

Australia Non-Postal Data

Melissa has long used official postal data for the “Land Down Under”. We have strategically been making improvements to make this a top tier country. We are currently sourcing and planning to add non-postal data to our engine in the near future.

Austria Alias Addresses

Melissa’s partnership with Austria Post continues to bear fruit. Beyond using official postal data, we are now working on adding Alias addresses, as well as Locally Designated addresses, to our data set as well.

China

We have some big updates planned for the “Middle Kingdom” as it is called in Chinese. We are working on an improved matching and coding engine. Improved matching and improved parsing are just two of the expected advancements on the docket. We are very excited and hope to get this into our users’ hands soon.
