Persistent unique identifier (PUID) for an address
Persistent unique identifier (PUID) for an address
Address keys assign a unique key to every unique, precise address. The keys are address identifiers. Many addresses can have multiple aliases; some have more than 20. Aliases are created due to typos, misspellings, and address changes. Addresses with aliases all share the same address key to help end confusion in your database.
Smarty provides a SmartyKey® for all addresses in these tools.

The elephant in the room: Is Smarty really the best?
There are a few different sources you can look to for address data tools. So why Smarty? What makes Smarty worth your time?
It comes down to 3 primary factors (there are many more factors, but these are the most important 3):
Speed requirements in address providers
Speed requirements in address providers
Smarty created a system that scales based on the volume of API calls. Rather than overwhelming the system and forcing clients to queue or allowing our system to slow to a crawl under high loads, Smarty spins up new servers almost instantly to accommodate higher usage. The result is a reliable, predictable system with wicked-fast speeds.
Smarty offers geocoding processing rates of up to 70,000+ records per second, which is 1200+ times faster than Google and 2,200+ times faster than other geocoding providers.
Smarty address validation speed will also blow your mind. We have plans available for up to 75,000 records per second, which means you can validate 4,500,000 US delivery points every minute. Need faster? We got you—you can actually process millions of addresses per second.
So, adding address validation or geocoding to your processes won't add any time to your workflow.
Accuracy of address validation and rooftop geocodes
Accuracy of address validation and rooftop geocodes
The damage from false positives can be worse than the damage of not knowing if an address is valid or not. The highest quality address tools will be able to accurately tell you if an address is or isn't valid, and Smarty is the best at that.
Companies like Fabletics, American Red Cross, A3 Freight, and Kibage have benefited greatly from knowing and trusting that their address databases contain accurate information.
And if you're looking for rooftop-level geocoding accuracy, you might catch us monologging. Because Smarty sits comfortably at the top of that list too.
Reliability of API services
Reliability of API services
If you're connecting an API to your POS or database, you’ll want it to work all the time.
That's why Smarty has had 100% uptime for 11 years and counting.
Service reliability and uptime are strict requirements for our customers. Our advanced architected system with multiple levels of redundancy helps keep things running smoothly on our side, so you don't even notice that we're here.
Actually, we're more like gravity. You don't have to worry about it working. It just does.
