Welcome to the CDXZipStream September 2013 Newsletter
Our newest version of CDXStreamer has faster data
access and links to the latest USPS ZIP code databases. We've
upgraded our free Radius Template so you can now find Canadian postal
codes (as well as U.S. ZIP codes) within a specified radius; we also
review all the templates currently available for free download from
our website.
Note: A major update to our ZIP code database
resulted in 7,633 changes this past month. Consider updating
your CDXZipStream database to reflect these changes. For more
information please refer to the article: Purchasing

CDXStreamer
2.0.26 is Now Faster
We're pleased
to announce the release a new version of CDXStreamer.
CDXStreamer is
an Excel add-in designed to correct mailing address information and
streamline access to Zip+4 data. Not only will it apply USPS
standard abbreviations and formatting, but it will correct
misspellings as well as missing or incorrect city, state, and ZIP
code data. It also automatically looks up ZIP+4 codes.
The address correction feature of CDXStreamer can virtually eliminate
undeliverable addresses and greatly reduce the costs associated with
bad address data.
Version 2.0.26
of CDXStreamer improves data access speeds and provides access to the
latest USPS zip code databases. Settings for drop-down menus
are now maintained between Excel sessions. CDXStreamer works in all
versions of Excel for Windows, both 32 bit and 64 bit.
CDXStreamer is
available as a free 7-day trial . Pricing
is on a per month basis. For a short tutorial, please view the
YouTube video: Address
Correction and ZIP+4 Analysis in Excel.

Do ZIP and
Canadian Postal Code Radius Analysis
Identifying locations within the radius of a target
ZIP code can help you plan delivery routes, create direct mailing
lists, and in general support marketing efforts around a store or
other central location. Now you can download
our new, free Radius Template that will do all this for Canadian
postal codes as well.
Just enter your address or ZIP/postal code list, and
specify the target code and radius distance around the target.
Also specify which database you wish to use: U.S., Canadian, or
both. If the target location is in Canada, select the Canadian
database, and all listed Canadian locations within the radius will be
returned. For cases that are near the U.S.- Canadian border,
you can also select both databases and the template will identify
which locations in your list are within the specified radius,
regardless of country. Please note this feature requires
separate purchase of the Canadian database for use with the Lite,
Basic, or Premium Demographic versions of CDXZipStream.
All our templates are free and can be downloaded from
our links page. The templates
are formatted, easy-to-use Excel files that access CDXZipStream
functions directly (instead of through worksheet formulas) and so can
process long lists even more quickly. Here's a rundown of what our
other templates offer:
Route Optimization (with GPX export):
Optimizes a list of addresses to minimize driving time or distance,
and creates a report including optimized order of the route, driving
distance, driving time, and cost. Results can be exported to a
.gpx file for later use with a GPS.
Lat-Long Route Optimization (with GPX export):
The same as above, but locations are input as a list of
latitude-longitude points.
Driving Distance: Calculates
driving time, driving distance, cost, or total trip duration between
two lists of addresses.
Driving Distance Matrix: For
a matrix of addresses or zip codes, calculates driving distance,
driving time, cost or trip duration between all combinations of
locations.
Geocoding: Finds latitude
and longitude for each address in a list.
Reverse Geocoding:
Finds the closest address for each geocode (latitude and
longitude) point in a list.
Census Tract FIPS Coding:
Identifies the U.S. Census tract and block FIPS code for each address
in a list. These codes can then be used as input for other
demographic databases.
