FASTforward Multiline Optical Character Reader (MLOCR) is a system containing more than 40 million permanent change-of-address records filed with the USPS® by relocating customers from the previous 13 months. FASTforward MLOCR allows physical mailpieces to be updated in-house against the USPS change-of-address database. If a change-of-address is provided, the new address is printed directly on the mailpiece. Licensees receive COA updates weekly via CD.
FASTforward Licensees must maintain MASS certification for each optical character reader processing the FASTforward service.
Annual License Fee: $5,000.00
