EPISHIP’s interface provides visual feedback on address quality. When users enter destination data, the system flags potential issues, suggests corrections (e.g., standardized abbreviations, correct zip codes), and allows users to accept valid carrier-suggested changes with a single click.
The REST API that manages the Address Book and performs real-time validation. It routes validation requests to the appropriate carrier based on the company’s configuration and returns detailed status codes (‘valid’, ‘corrected’, ‘invalid’) along with any suggested address modifications.
Secured via Bearer tokens in the Authorization header. Access to address data is scoped to the authenticated user’s company, ensuring that customer contact information remains private.
