It is estimated that each year 17% of people and businesses in the United States move. United States Postal Service^® (USPS^®) maintains a database of these address changes within their NCOA^Link™ product. This database consists of those address changes that have occurred within the last 18 months. As the USPS^® strives to reduce costs and streamline their operations; it has mandated companies receiving postal discounts keep their customer files up-to-date regarding address changes. As a full service provider of print and mail services, APS offers you NetForward as the means to maintain your customer information database and stay in compliance with postal regulations.

What is NetForward?

• NetForward is a mail piece forwarding address service from APS using the USPS^® NCOA^Link™ change-of-address database.
   

How does NetForward Work?
 

• Customer information is sent to APS for processing and mail piece production
• APS compares input mail address data to the USPS^® NCOA^Link™ database
• Addresses are updated at the time of printing and the outgoing mail piece has the new address printed in place of the one submitted in the production file
• An updated file is provided back to the submitting company for upload to their database to maintain information integrity.
   

NetForward Options
 

• Service can be provided on individual production files
