AEC and AEC II

Address Element Correction (AEC) service identifies and corrects bad or incomplete addresses. AEC uses enhanced computer logic improving the match rate by 30% (historically). AEC II forwards addresses that cannot be resolved through AEC to the field for resolution based on Delivery Force Knowledge™. Delivery personnel identify and correct address errors or indicate that the address presented is not a recognized deliverable address. 

AEC provides the following benefits for mailers: Reduces mailing costs, reduces undeliverable-as-addressed (UAA) mail and improves customer satisfaction.
