QAS addresses data quality at Meat Industry Employees Super Fund
Announcement posted by QAS Singapore 23 Mar 2005
Address management software delivers efficiency gains and reduced administration costs at meat industry super fund
Address management specialist QAS today announces the deployment of its QuickAddress software to the Meat Industry Employees Super Fund (MIESF), implemented by new QAS partner Financial Synergy.
MIESF manages the Super Fund requirements of 30,000 members associated with the meat industry. The meat industry has a large mobile workforce and MIESF processes a large number of applications each year, often with difficult to read addresses. QAS address management software will ensure the accuracy of these addresses.
MIESF first saw QAS QuickAddress software at a Financial Synergy user event and purchased the software as it highlighted a requirement for data quality within its organisation and was impressed with the functionality of the QuickAddress product.
Doug Lamb, MIESF said, We are moving from an in-house Unix based Super Fund software solution to a proprietary product, and QAS QuickAddress Batch allowed us to clean and sort our database prior to sending out annual statements to members. This ensured all our contact data was accurate and uniformly formatted to ensure efficient delivery. Moving forward QuickAddress Pro will be integrated with the new financial platform to ensure address data is accurately captured at the point of entry.
By increasing the accuracy of our address database we will reduce the quantity of return to sender mail, avoiding lost super for our members and providing savings on the administrative costs to MIESF associated with return to sender mail.
The implementation was completed by Financial Synergy, a leading provider of software, eCommerce and administration service solutions who currently provide the Acurity member administration software to MIESF. Financial Synergy identified the QAS QuickAddress products as complementing the Acurity software and reinforcing its principles of an accurate, secure and efficient solution.
Brian Mitchell, General Manager, Business Solutions Group at Financial Synergy said, We are always looking at ways to improve the offering to our clients, and QAS was a natural fit and simple to integrate with the Acurity software. QuickAddress helps us ensure the accuracy of our clients data while reducing the cost of operation.
Following the success of this first installation of QuickAddress at MIESF, Financial Synergy is eager to provide the QAS solution to additional clients.
Glenn Parker, Managing Director Australia and New Zealand at QAS said, MIESF is a great example of how QAS address management software can deliver significant cost savings to an organisation while allowing it to provide an enhanced service to its customers through improved data quality. The financial sector is a major area of growth for QAS, where institutions are trying to re-engage with their customer base, which itself is reliant upon having accurate contact details.
By working with trusted partners such as Financial Synergy, QAS will be able to deliver the benefits of increased data accuracy, improved efficiency and reduced administration costs to an ever increasing pool of users.
Ends.
