Are you looking to use an API to verify addresses and convert them to latitude and longitude coordinates?

Maybe you also need to standardize addresses in order to de-duplicate records across millions of addresses in your database too. That's right, we're talking about validating, standardizing, and bulk-processing geocodes with a geocoding API.

There are several options out there, so let us tell you how speed sets Smarty apart from the rest.

Smarty is fast. Now, we're not just talking about fast like Usain Bolt. We're not even talking about fast like a race car, or a bullet train. We're talking fast like an interstellar spacecraft.

Smarty can process over 30,000 address records per second. You read that correctly. That comes out to over 1.5 million a minute. That's fast.

How do we do it?

The secret is creating a scalable system that can't be crippled by extremely large loads. Where most systems begin to grind to a drip when put under the pressure of millions and millions of address lookups sent to their geocoding API, Smarty continues to process at standard high-speeds. We spin up new servers to match the usage needs, always staying well ahead of demand.

Can Smarty go faster than that? You betcha!

In the rare case that someone needs more than 10 million geocodes processed in less than five and a half minutes, our enterprise sales team can connect them with a plan that will provide such ludicrous speeds.

Speed may be good, but going that fast without accuracy can be really dangerous. Smarty also has the top address validation system that can handle even seriously distorted addresses. Even at a million and a half a minute you can expect to have the most accurate address data (even down to rooftop level geocoding information) with every lookup.

Curious about secondary address points like unit, apartment, or suite? We're good at those too. You can try your hardest 1,000 addresses in our system and put us to the test. We're confident that you'll be impressed with the speed and accuracy of each address.

In conclusion, Smarty is faster than any other geocoding api tool out there, is rooftop accurate, and can handle tough addresses.

Improving insurance customers’ experiences in policy management

84% of customers say the experience a company provides is as important as its products or services, according to a Salesforce report.

Buyers have adjusted and evolved in response to the buffet of insurance options, becoming more sophisticated and specific in what they need and want. To keep these sophisticated buyers at your insurance smorgasbord rather than the other guys’, it’s essential to understand their new and improved expectations.
Cleaning address databases with Smarty's lead developers

We recently brought together Kent Gividen and Bryan Amundson, two of Smarty's brilliant lead developers, to discuss the importance of maintaining a clean address database and how Smarty's innovative tools can make this process easier and more efficient. Question: "How should users prepare their address data before using Smarty's tools?"Kent: "To begin with, if you have a database that you're looking to clean the addresses for, you can dump those addresses into a CSV file. And there are several ways to make that easier to handle and process.
Marrying accelerated insurance claims with address data

Remember that phrase we all used in middle school, “Well if you love it so much, why don’t you marry it?” Well, we couldn’t agree more. Address data and insurance claims have been partners in an ever-evolving landscape of technology and property for years. Insurance claims rely on geocoding to find the exact location, and property data is used to assess the property's condition and attached amenities before losses. Efficiently deploying adjusters and accurately assessing damage is impossible without accurate address data.
