Why Maponics Carrier Route Boundaries?

Proprietary algorithms created by Maponics’ industry-recognized postal data specialists ensure that every nuance in the boundary creation process has been optimized. Here are some of the features that set Maponics Carrier Route Boundaries apart:

















CASS Certification Compatible:

Maponics uses the same monthly address releases to create its postal boundaries that the U.S. Postal Service uses as the basis for its CASS Certification process. Having carrier route boundaries that tie into this CASS standard helps mailers qualify for maximum postage discounts.

Street Aligned:

Maponics Carrier Route boundaries align to the TIGER/Line® data street network, and are compatible with other street network databases, such as NAVTEQ ® and TeleAtlas ®. This street compatibility makes decision-making easier when viewing carrier route boundaries on a map.

Accurate and Complete:

With well over 600,000 carrier routes in the U.S., creating boundaries for each one requires enormous resources. Because of this, many companies over-generalize by dropping carrier routes that are hard to map. They also give single address point carrier routes non-existent polygonal boundaries (for example, of a building’s footprint), because it is easier than dealing with the reality that the U.S. Postal Service has both point carrier routes and carrier routes that can be represented as polygons. Maponics accurately captures all carrier routes.

Delivery Counts Included:

In addition to latitude and longitude information for both carrier route boundaries and center points, Maponics Carrier Route Boundaries features delivery counts for easier mailing planning. This includes total residential delivery count, multi-family delivery count, single-family delivery count, PO Box count, and business delivery count.
