Case Study: Kukun improves address resolution and data aggregation with Smarty US Address Verification

Data Cleansing Builds an Accurate Foundation of Addresses for this PropTech Company

Kukun, an AI-powered proptech platform for homeowners and real estate investors, faced a significant challenge in aggregating data from thousands of disparate sources. Due to varying address formats, typos, and missing information from county records, building permits, and MLS listings, their address match speed and accuracy were severely impeded. To build an accurate foundational database, they turned to vendor Smarty and its US Address Verification service to standardize and normalize their data.

By implementing Smarty's APIs, Kukun was able to cleanse and standardize over 112 million addresses, significantly improving their ability to link property data from different sources. The solution delivered measurable results, boosting their address resolution rate on challenging county assessor records from 65% to 95%. This gave Kukun a far more accurate database, enabling them to provide better data-driven insights and investment guidance solutions to their enterprise customers and end-users.
