Benefits of technology

The present invention provides methods, apparatus, and computer programs for automatically determining whether to pick up or deliver an item from an address based on exception rules. The method involves determining whether the address satisfies a configurable threshold and, if so, indicating that the item is to be picked up or delivered to the address. The invention can also automatically predict the outcome of a previous visit to the address based on the absence of secondary address information and indicate whether the item should be picked up or delivered to the address without the secondary address information. Overall, the invention improves the efficiency and accuracy of delivering items to their destinations.

Problems solved by technology

This address information / data can include errors and / or be incomplete.
However, current solutions do not determine whether the provided address information / data actually exists, whether any address information / data is missing, and / or whether the specified consignors / consignees have moved.

Abstract

Computer program products, methods, systems, apparatus, and computing entities are provided for predicting and correcting addresses. In one embodiment, this includes applying exception rules to determine whether to generate an exception for an address. If an exception exists, there are various approaches for predicting or correcting the addresses.

Description

BACKGROUND[0001]In picking up items from and delivering items to customers (e.g., consignors and / or consignees), carriers often rely on the address information / data provided by the customers. This address information / data can include errors and / or be incomplete. Current solutions determine whether the address information / data provided by the customer is within “range.” That is, current solutions determine whether a number or a number fractional is within the specified range assigned to a given street, road, avenue, and / or the like. However, current solutions do not determine whether the provided address information / data actually exists, whether any address information / data is missing, and / or whether the specified consignors / consignees have moved. Thus, a solution is needed to provide address information / data in the event of incorrect, incomplete, and / or changed address information / data.BRIEF SUMMARY[0002]In general, embodiments of the present invention provide methods, apparatus, sy...
