A ShippingScore is a number based on the risk of shipping parcels to a specific address. It is not based on individuals or companies; just addresses. Using our proprietary analytics engine, we provide a score based on an address. We also provide custom suggestions based on past data based on that address.

We have aggregated millions of addresses over time that were included in small parcel and freight shipments. Most of these addresses are 100% safe to ship to, but there are some that may need additional scrutiny.

Example:
An order comes to your eCommerce store with a ship to address of "1234 Main St Fiction Town, CA 55555". Checking the ShippingScore for that address you find that the score is "3" and the following suggestions are returned: "Ship With Tracking, Verify Recipient Name". A score of "3" indicates a Moderate Risk and the suggestions returned indicate that there may have been lost packages to that address or fraudulent transactions. Armed with this information, you can make an informed decision about your next step. Options include:

• Verify the contact name on the order by calling the customer
• Ship the parcel but require it to be signed for on delivery
• Call the customer and request a different shipping address
• Do nothing and ship the parcel as usual - But be wary of the results...

Either way you go, you now are armed with additional information about that transaction. Combined with an ample fraud detection suite, you can boost the percentage of successful sales and fulfillment for your business.
