Addresso
Address intelligence for India
Return-to-origin, decided before dispatch

Know if a courier can actually find the door.

Addresso grades an Indian delivery address, checks the PIN code against India Post's directory, and scores whether the order is likely to come back. Every point is attributable to a named reason.

01 / Capabilities

What it decides

Grades the address out of 100

Names what is missing in words you can show a shopper. A missing flat number is the single most common reason a parcel fails.

Checks the PIN code against the directory

Flags when the PIN code and the stated state disagree, which is either a typo that will bounce or an address that was never real.

Scores return-to-origin risk

From the address, the phone, the payment method and the customer's history, with an action: ship, verify, convert to prepaid, or hold.

Encodes DIGIPIN

India Post's national geospatial addressing grid, verified against the Department of Posts reference implementation.
