CASS Certification
What is it? Why do you need it?

CASS--Coding Accuracy Support System--is a test and certification system developed by the U.S. Postal Service to determine if ZIP Code software can accurately assign ZIP Codes to mailing addresses. CASS-certified software helps improve accuracy of carrier route, 5-digit ZIP, ZIP+4, and delivery point codes. It's the first step in qualifying for postage discounts.

Investigate CASS and CASS software at www.worksright.com or call WorksRight Software at 601-856-8337.
