Smarty verifies and standardizes addresses against the USPS database, then goes further with roughly 20 million additional shippable addresses not found in USPS alone, so government agencies can validate more of the real-world locations they actually serve.

On top of that, Smarty uses an optimized matching algorithm designed to maximize match rates without introducing risky false positives. It’s the Goldilocks approach: smart enough to correct and match aggressively when the signal is strong, cautious enough to avoid “close enough” matches that can misroute tax bills, ballots, notices, or benefits.

Integration. Modernize government data without replacing systems. You can easily integrate Smarty tools with legacy systems through a clean API, backed by SDKs in 15+ languages and documentation developers genuinely like using. Documentation is clear, practical, and built for fast implementation. You should be able to run an API proof-of-concept within 1-2 hours with our free 42-day trial and complete full implementation within a day to a week, instead of a month or longer.

Bulk validation. For bulk validation, teams also get multiple options that don’t require coding: upload a file in the web tool, validate directly in Microsoft Excel with an add-in, use a Google Sheets add-on, plot and verify addresses in QGIS with a plugin, or run massive datasets quickly with a CLI tool.

Reliability. Agencies also count on reliability: Smarty’s address verification uptime SLA is 99.98%, with historical uptime exceeding 99.999%, supported by a redundant, secure architecture. See the status and latency of Smarty systems here.

Speed. You’ll get lightning speeds. The default processing speed for our base plans starts at 25,000 addresses per second. And we can go much, much faster.

Security. Government security standards and SSO are built in, and for the most sensitive workflows, enhanced data privacy options are available, where nothing is logged.

Procurement. Enjoy a streamlined procurement process. You get transparent, competitive pricing and simple contracts in language you can understand.

Government partnership. Smarty is easy to work with and a reliable partner for government teams committed to serving the public well.

Government teams trust Smarty because support is real, fast, and technically savvy.

Smarty’s entire technical support staff is located at the company’s U.S. headquarters, sitting right next to the engineers, so when an issue needs escalation, answers don’t get lost in handoffs.

Agencies can quickly reach a real human by phone, chat, or email (no support tickets here), and get quick responses from highly trained specialists who understand implementation details, data nuance, and the realities of public-sector systems.
