PROVO, UT - SmartyStreets, a leader in location data intelligence, announces today a comprehensive rebrand to Smarty. The new branding is a reflection of the rapidly growing spectrum of forthcoming products related to location data intelligence.

SmartyStreets is Becoming Smarty

Founded in 2011, SmartyStreets began with a simple mission to offer smart street address validation software for the United States. Focusing on street data made the name ‘SmartyStreets’ a logical fit. Subsequent product releases in the fields of geocoding, reverse geocoding, and address autocomplete began to move SmartyStreets from just street data into the broader category of location data intelligence.

“Many of our products already blurred the line between street and location data” said Jonathan Oliver, Founder and CTO of SmartyStreets adding “Those extra 7 characters have felt restrictive for a while now and where we’re going, we don’t need streets.”

SmartyStreets remains committed to the ongoing improvement and support of original product lines. Under the new moniker, Smarty will also be releasing several location data intelligence products that are slated to launch in 2022. The new Smarty products will satisfy business needs for address lists, geocoding, and both census and parcel data. These launches will further solidify Smarty as a leader in global location data intelligence services.

“If the word “Streets” was already serving as an immense gravitational weight on where we wanted to grow,” Oliver continued, “2022 will show that Smarty has been hover-converted and is ready to travel the skyways and hyperlanes of the location intelligence future.”

The rollout is expected to be completed early Q1 2022 and will include a transition from SmartyStreets.com to Smarty.com as well as an update to the corporate logo.

We’ll be honest: there are some rare, creative, and oddly inspiring scenarios in which traditional address validation tools—like Smarty—might not be top of mind. Take Gary, for instance. He runs a mail-order sourdough bakery and believes address typos give his shipping process a “personal touch. ” His customers now expect their loaves to go on postal pilgrimages, complete with handwritten notes and breadcrumb trails. Literally. Or Eleanor, who’s lived in the same town for 62 years, ships packages with descriptions like “the blue house with the tire swing near the old Peterson farm.
Why address verification is the necessary complement to autocomplete

Address autocomplete is a powerful tool for improving form completions and ensuring users select real, deliverable addresses at entry. However, to maintain long-term data integrity and enhance address-related insights, address verification is a necessary complement. Here’s why:1. Gain up to 55 points of metadata per verified addressAutocomplete provides real-time address suggestions, while address verification appends additional metadata. Address verification enhances each address with up to 55 points of data, such as:ZIP-9 level accuracy geocoordinates (rooftop accuracy also available)ZIP+4 CodesResidential Delivery Indicator (RDI) to identify residential vs.
Property data fuels a Smarty-er search for Sasquatch

Bigfoot. Sasquatch. Ol’ Filthy Albert. No matter what you call him, you know who we’re talking about: the hairy giant cryptid who haunts our collective imagination and, according to about 13% of the US population, wanders the American wilderness. The traditional perception of Sasquatch is that of a solitary creature whose run-ins with people are the unavoidable consequence of human development and exploration. If recent sightings are any indication, it seems the legendary creature may have more on their mind than just staying hidden.
