Navigating the Future: Geocoding & Address Data Trends in the Cloud

In a recent webinar, Berk Charlton, Chief Product Officer at Smarty™, provided an in-depth look at our industry-leading address intelligence suite designed to provide highly accurate geocoding and address validation.

Here are the main points Berk covered during the session:

Comprehensive product suite: Smarty offers a wide range of products, including address validation, rooftop geocoding, global address auto-complete, and address data enrichment. These tools are designed to handle various aspects of address management and enhancement in industries from Insurance to Healthcare to Telecom and more.

Global coverage and fast lookups: Smarty is known for our global coverage, capable of standardizing and validating addresses from around the world. Additionally, we're known for our exceptionally fast lookup speeds, facilitating quick data processing for millions of addresses at a time.

Hyper-accurate geocoding: A significant focus of the webinar was on Smarty's hyper-accurate geocoding, which ensures the highest possible level of accuracy, aiming for building rooftop level precision. Smarty technology provides true rooftop geocoding for the majority of addresses, not merely parcel centroid. This means we have some extra things running under the hood to identify the roof of the building, no matter where it’s found on the property. Because accuracy matters! 

Cloud-based solution: Smarty's services are cloud-based, offering convenience and efficiency. This eliminates the need for on-premise systems and the associated maintenance, while still providing speed and scalability. You may want to check out this article if you're still on the fence about moving to or using a cloud geocoding service.

Unique address identification: Berk discussed the importance of unique and persistent location identifiers for each address, which remain stable over time despite changes in street names, ZIP Codes, or other address components. Smarty uses a unique key (SmartyKey™) for this purpose.

Data linking capabilities: Smarty allows for the linking of other data sources to a unique address identifier, enabling fast and efficient data analysis without the need for real-time spatial processing. This feature is beneficial for integrating additional datasets and performing complex analyses with ease.

Customer support and documentation: Smarty is committed to providing excellent documentation and customer support, ensuring users can implement and utilize the service effectively. We think we've got the best support team in the world.

If you'd like to try out our Geocoding tools for yourself, you can request free lookups or try the online demo at any time.

Effective Slack communication: The Smarty way

Slack is incredible—until it becomes overwhelming, distracting, and hard to manage. Every company eventually reaches that moment when the friendly hum of collaboration turns into a full-blown notification blizzard. Messages pile up. Channels multiply like rabbits. Every ping feels urgent. Suddenly, your team’s deep-focus time feels like an optional side quest, not part of their job. At Smarty, we’ve lived this story. We’ve also learned how to fix it. Now we want to help other organizations create Slack environments that feel lighter, faster, and dramatically more supportive of real work.
Smarty customers avoid USPS rate limiting

TLDR: Smarty customers won’t feel a thing from the new USPS API restrictions because Smarty doesn’t depend on USPS’s real-time APIs to do address verification. We’ve always used our own, powerful, hyper-accurate data to back our tools and support client needs. While USPS is capping its address verification service at 60 requests per hour and retiring the legacy Web Tools API on January 25, Smarty keeps verifying addresses at full speed on our own infrastructure. We ingest USPS data updates monthly and run verification internally, so USPS API changes, rate limits, or even a temporary USPS outage don’t ripple into your workflows.
