## How does Bulk Address Cleanse work?

Using our unique software, bulk address cleanse parses and then validates address data to cleanse addresses. 

Simply, send us a flat file (CSV, TXT, XLS, XLSX) via SFTP of address data and we will return parsed and validated addresses.

We validate using our software in similar methods to our Address Cleanse but designed for files up to 1 million records.

## How is data transferred?

A secure SFTP connection is supplied OR customer supplied SFTP.

## How long does it take?

We will work with you to determine and agreed the scope of your job, then schedule it with our team. Depending on complexity of the work, we'll aim to have the completed file(s) back to you within 0-2 days.&#x20;

## Do you need specific file schema?

Our preferred schema is:

* UID - Unique ID.
* Full Address - Containing all the information if capture in full. Please do not concatenate yourself.
* If your database stores address component (e.g., subdwelling, street number, street name, suburb, etc.) as unique fields then **send us all the detail as stored** and we transform the data to get the optimal result.
