Features and Benefits
- What Makes Global Address Data Unique?
Melissa Address Key (MAK) is what makes the Global Address Data product unique. This unique, 10-digit number identifies each discrete physical address and aligns a multitude of additional location information with the address. For example, each apartment in an apartment building, or suites in an office building are assigned an individual MAK number and the parent building has its own individual MAK number. Once you have the MAK numbers for a particular area – no matter how each address changes, or if new addresses are added – you will know exactly what the changes are. It’s complete coverage, and complete intelligence that you can use to optimize route planning, resource allocation, utilities management – and more!
