CASS (Coding Accuracy Support System): A software program that’s designed to improve the accuracy of carrier route, five-digit ZIP code, ZIP + 4, and delivery point codes that appear on mailpieces. CASS is offered to all mailers, service bureaus and software vendors who want to evaluate their address-matching software and improve the quality of their ZIP + 4 and five-digit coding accuracy. The process is graded by the U.S. Postal Service and the USPS’ National Customer Support Center. The results are returned to mailers in order to provide useful diagnostics for correcting deficiencies.
