Residential and Business Delivery Indicator (RBDI)
RBDI is a data quality solution that helps shippers minimize parcel shipping costs by verifying the address delivery type as either business or residential. RBDI is also valuable to real estate and property management agencies by identifying a property type when only the address is available.

Why add RBDI to your shipping operations?
91% of delivery points in the United States are classified as residential. And, 87% of new U.S. delivery points are also residential.

Most shipping companies charge a higher price for residential deliveries. RBDI helps ensure that you select the most cost-effective method for shipping parcels by identifying residential addresses... therefore maximizing your savings potential. You can subsequently select the best carrier for your delivery.

Enhance Shipping Efficiency with DPVTM
RBDI is available as an add-on to MAILERS+4 postal automation software. When used in conjunction with DPV, RBDI takes your parcel shipping to the highest possible level of address accuracy and efficiency and reduces your costs to the lowest possible rates available. You not only save money on shipping fees, you drastically reduce the chance of shipping to an undeliverable address to begin with.
