1

AI-Powered Address Intelligence

Converts unstructured customer input into a clean, courier-friendly shipping address by extracting:

  • Customer Name & House/Flat/Plot Number
  • Building Name & Floor
  • Street, Colony, Locality & Landmark
  • Post Office, Tehsil, District, State & PIN Code
  • Shipping-ready Address & Address Quality
  • Location Type & Location Suitability
2

Multi-Language Support

Automatically detects addresses written in regional Indian languages to enable verification of multilingual data.

  • Detects non-English addresses
  • Translates them into English
  • Cleans customer names
  • Standardizes the final shipping address
3

India Post Verification

Detected PIN codes are cross-checked against available India Post data to provide postal context for verification and review.

  • Validates & detects incorrect PIN codes
  • Corrects incorrect PINs whenever possible
  • Retrieves official Post Office, District, State, and Tehsil
4

Intelligent Address Cleaning

Before verification, SmartLocator automatically cleans each address to create a shipping-ready output by removing:

  • Duplicate & meaningless words
  • Extra spaces & invalid symbols
  • Duplicate address components
  • Invalid formatting & testing keywords
5

Address Quality Analysis

Every address is analyzed for delivery suitability and assigned one of five quality levels based on completeness, clarity, and shipping confidence.

Quality Level Meaning
Very Good Complete, clear, and highly deliverable
Good Minor gaps but reliably deliverable
Medium Usable but missing some detail
Bad Significant gaps affecting deliverability
Very Bad Largely unusable without correction
6

Address Risk Score

Every verified address receives a confidence score from 0–100, mapping to Excellent, Good, Average, Risky, and Very Risky categories based on:

  • Address quality, completeness, and length
  • Landmark availability
  • PIN verification & Duplicate detection
  • Delivery warnings & Verification issues
7

Delivery Risk Detection

SmartLocator surfaces delivery-risk indicators so operations teams can route relevant orders for manual review.

  • Wrong or unconfirmed PIN codes
  • Missing landmarks
  • Very short or incomplete addresses
  • Delivery warnings & Verification issues
8

Multi-Layer Duplicate Detection Engine

Rather than checking only duplicate mobile numbers, SmartLocator runs duplicate analysis across multiple layers.

Layer What It Detects
Same-File Detection Duplicate mobile numbers and repeat entries within a single uploaded CSV; the newest order is kept as primary.
15-Day History Detection Duplicate mobile numbers, products, or addresses against all previously verified orders, not just the current file.
Same Mobile + Same Product Repeat orders of an identical product from the same number, linked to the prior Order ID and days elapsed.
Same Mobile + Diff. Address A product re-ordered under a new delivery address — flagged High Risk for possible fraud or COD abuse.
Repeat Customer Detection Genuine returning buyers, distinguished from suspicious activity using purchase history.
Intelligent Address Matching Similarity-based comparison (not just exact text) to catch duplicates written differently.
Suspicious Frequency Unusually high order volume from one number within 15 days, indicating resellers or bulk fraud.
9

Automatic Shipment Classification

After verification layers complete, SmartLocator classifies each order to support a consistent dispatch or review workflow. Ready for Shipment means the order passed the system’s verification/classification checks; it does not guarantee delivery. Manual Check Needed signals a concern for review, not an automatically invalid address.

Ready for Shipment Manual Check Needed
High confidence score Duplicate detected
Good address quality Poor address quality
No duplicate issues Incorrect / unverifiable PIN
No delivery risks Delivery risk indicators present
No critical warnings Suspicious ordering behaviour or fraud signals
10

Bulk Verification Engine

Built for enterprise-scale operations, featuring:

  • Bulk CSV upload & concurrent processing
  • Background processing with live tracking
  • Pause, resume, or cancel running jobs
  • Automatic recovery of stuck jobs
  • Separate Ready and Manual output files
11

Smart Credit Management

Automated, hassle-free credit handling:

  • Credit validation & automatic deductions
  • Unlimited plans support
  • Duplicate deduction prevention
  • Usage logging
  • Refund protection for failed verifications
12

Shopify Integration

For Shopify merchants, SmartLocator automatically updates order verification statuses. Manual Review orders are forwarded into the Rescue workflow, while Ready orders are marked accordingly.

13

COD Order Verification

SmartLocator adds order-level checks around COD workflows so teams can identify orders that may need confirmation before fulfillment.

  • Support COD order confirmation workflows
  • Combine order signals with address verification
  • Identify suspicious or duplicate order patterns
  • Route orders for confirmation or operational review
14

WhatsApp Customer Rescue

Configured WhatsApp workflows can engage customers when an order needs confirmation, address clarification or delivery recovery.

  • Confirm delivery details with customers
  • Provide a clear Change Address path when details are incorrect
  • Support customer responses during recovery
  • Use messaging as part of the delivery-rescue workflow
15

AI Voice Follow-up

Voice workflows can provide an additional customer-contact channel when messaging is not enough.

  • Support delivery-related phone follow-ups
  • Use voice as part of NDR recovery workflows
  • Capture customer responses for the next action
  • Complement WhatsApp-based customer rescue
16

NDR Recovery

SmartLocator extends delivery intelligence beyond dispatch by helping teams act on non-delivery situations before an avoidable RTO.

  • Surface NDR orders that need attention
  • Contact customers through configured WhatsApp workflows
  • Use voice follow-up when additional assistance is needed
  • Support customer confirmation and recovery actions
17

RTO Prevention Workflow

SmartLocator connects pre-dispatch prevention with post-dispatch recovery so delivery-risk actions are not isolated from the rest of the order workflow.

  • Prevent: verify addresses, COD details and delivery-risk signals
  • Rescue: engage customers through configured WhatsApp and voice workflows
  • Recover: act on NDR situations before they become avoidable RTOs
  • Keep operational review and recovery actions connected
