Real-time address validation with Experian Data Quality and Tessitura: Capture accurate addresses. Boost engagement.

Why it matters

Nonprofits and membership organizations rely on clean data to connect with their communities. By partnering with Tessitura Network, Experian Data Quality (EDQ) delivers real-time API address validation that guides staff through clean, standardized address entry – right at the point of capture. This turnkey integration empowers teams to focus on meaningful engagement rather than manual data cleanup.

Enter EDQ and Tessitura

Most arts, culture, and membership groups rely on Tessitura for ticketing, fundraising, and relationship management. Yet even the best customer relationship management (CRM) platform can’t overcome bad data: typos, duplicates, and outdated addresses introduce cost, waste time, and undermine audience trust. With EDQ’s real-time validation built directly into Tessitura’s Constituent Search Table, every record is checked and corrected before it enters the system.

The result? A single, accurate source of truth that drives smarter decisions and stronger connections.

How it works

EDQ’s API plugs seamlessly into Tessitura, here is how it works: 

• Staff enters address data.
• EDQ suggests complete, standardized addresses.
• Powered by USPS®, Canada Post, and Royal Mail databases.
• If there’s any ambiguity – missing apartment numbers or incorrect postal codes – the API flags it, so staff can verify on the spot.
• No batch jobs, no overnight deduplication: everything happens in real time.

Why it's a game changer

Our validation software reduces keystrokes by up to 80%, letting box office, call center, and fundraising teams work faster and more effectively without sacrificing accuracy.
