Centrus Desktop Features and Benefits
Most Sophisticated Geographic Data
Centrus Desktop combines data from the USPS®, Canada Post and the user’s choice of spatial data from the world’s leading data providers, including TIGER, GDT, Tele Atlas and NAVTEQ, into a single unified data set. This process, called conflation, provides significant advantages:
- Creates a wider and richer data universe
- Delivers more matches and fewer false positives
- Geocodes faster and more accurately than two-pass systems
Advanced Spatial Analysis
Point-in-polygon and closest site analysis makes it easy to determine whether an address sits within a certain territory or jurisdiction — and exactly how far one is from a specific point, such as a coastline or service center.
Unrivaled Throughput
Centrus Desktop provides unmatched speed and flexibility. The advanced design includes optimized access to key data sources and is capable of geocoding at speeds of up to 1,250,000 records per hour — twice as fast as the nearest competitive product.
Modular Architecture
Centrus Desktop is composed of individual modules that are seamlessly integrated. With this configurable architecture, users can license the functionality required today and add components as business needs evolve.
Intuitive Windows-based Interface
The Centrus Desktop system operates in a Microsoft Windows environment. It is simple to implement and even easier to operate. The intuitive interface provides virtually unlimited user-defined control over every function.
Geocodes Both U.S. and Canadian Addresses
Centrus Desktop provides a single solution for an organization’s North American geocoding needs. There’s no need to process jobs separately, which saves you time and effort.
CASS-certified™
Centrus Desktop is also CASS-certified™ by the USPS®. The software has been fully tested and meets all requirements of the Coding Accuracy Support System, including ZIP+4, carrier route, five-digit and LACSLink, eLOT, DPV™, RDI and Perfect Address.
