- Address Validation
The address validation module is a very powerful address lookup, verification and

Validation cleans your mailing list records, adds the proper information, and
corrects the address composition and spelling according to the postal standards.
- Presort
The Royal Mail presort module lets you sort your mailing and produce accompanying
documents for your mailing according to the Royal Mail guidelines. This offers you
the possibility to take advantage of the benefits offered by Royal Mail for mailings
sorted, bundled, and bagged according to these rules.
- Mailmark®
FlexStream allows you to generate the Mailmark barcode string and print the barcode
in 4-state or one of the datamatrix formats enableing Royal Mail to provide you
information about the status of your mail.
FlexStream allows you to capture the address data to be run through the Royal Mail module from
the documents and to replace and add the data returned by the process to your documents.
