    Smarty™ & Uber partner on address intelligence for global services

    May 7, 2024 - PROVO, UTAH - Smarty, a preeminent provider of address data solutions, announced today its service partnership with Uber Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: UBER), providing accurate, real-time address data for the ride-sharing leader. Smarty's comprehensive address intelligence services will bolster Uber’s extensive address data capabilities across its global operations, encompassing ride-sharing, meal delivery and local courier services.

    Jonathan Oliver, CEO of Smarty, said, "It’s evident Uber has the highest commitment to delivering delightful customer experiences and operational excellence. We’re pleased to supplement their data with Smarty’s comprehensive services.” 

    The journey towards redefining urban transportation for companies like Uber encompasses not only advancements but also the challenges of ensuring operational excellence. 

    Oliver emphasizes the critical nature of accurate address data in this equation. "In an era where time is of the essence, challenges arising from inadequate address data are more than just mere inconveniences. They have the potential to translate into substantial operational costs for companies like Uber and its drivers. Imprecise address data can cause increased mileage, escalated fuel consumption and drivers circulating in search of their customers. This not only inflates operational expenses but also detracts from the customer experience." 

    Oliver's insights shed light on the symbiotic relationship between data quality and service excellence, underscoring the indispensable role of precise address data in steering the future of urban transportation toward greater efficiency and customer satisfaction.

    Smarty's commitment to excellence and innovation in address data intelligence is underscored by its recognition as a data quality leader in the field, with many other Fortune 500 industry giants among its clientele. This collaboration with Uber further cements Smarty's position as a pivotal player in enhancing business efficiencies and customer satisfaction through superior address data solutions.

    Open floor Q&A with Smarty developers: A webinar recap

    Let's be honest, when it comes to addresses, “'close enough” just isn't good enough. At our recent panel discussion with Smarty’s product team members, we really dug deep into what makes address validation work and why it's so crucial for businesses. The themes spanned from Google Maps myths to international quirks, from “non-postal” mysteries to best practices for keeping databases clean. Why Google isn’t the benchmarkOne of the most common statements we hear from other business owners is the “but Google Maps says…” objection.
    Tariffs are high. Your address accuracy should be higher.

    Tariffs are spiking. Shipping costs are climbing. Margins are shrinking. You can’t control global trade policy, but you can control how efficient and accurate your operations are in response. Most ecommerce teams, logistics planners, and data managers miss one of their best cost-saving opportunities: addressing accuracy. Bad address data isn’t hidden. It sits in your systems, shows up in carrier returns, and quietly drains profits every day. When tariffs rise to 15 to 50 percent in some product categories and import volumes are falling, every shipment becomes more expensive, every delay costs more, and every lost customer hurts more.
