Geocoding
Standard Services
If your company needs Marketing-grade geocoding, you need RATA's Standard (Bulk) geocoding services. Bulk processing is used for business applications that do not require highly accurate or 100% complete address matching. All Standard address files received for Bulk geocoding are processed with our automated U.S. Postal Service address standardization and matching routines before geocoding.
RATA's Standard Bulk geocoding service utilizes four of our seven address matching engines. For an additional fee, RATA offers Enhanced Bulk processing that includes one additional address matching routine that will typically improve the composite file match rate but may reduce the overall file accuracy level.
The standard geocode data elements returned to the customer purchasing Bulk processing are: MSA/MD (Metropolitan Statistical Area/Metropolitan Division), FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standard) State, County, and Census tract codes. Latitude and Longitude coordinates are also provided at no additional charge.
Standard geocoding is typically completed and returned to the client within 3 business days. Express 24 Hour turn around is available upon request for an additional fee.
For pricing, production timing and ordering information, please contact our Geocoding Services department.
