Endereco Address Management Service Module (AMS)
For JTL 5.1.x - 5.6.x
Functional description #
The endereco Address Management Services (AMS) enable you to improve the quality of the address data entered by your customers in a simple and uncomplicated way. Incorrect addresses can be corrected directly by your customers by suggesting corrections. The spelling of addresses is standardized. A two-stage process is integrated into the address forms for this purpose, which ensures that data is entered correctly across almost all input devices
Address entry wizard
Suggestions for entered address fragments are displayed in an autocomplete function of street, postcode and city. This works on PCs, tablets and smartphones. Address entry is simplified, accelerated and the error rate is massively reduced.
Name check
Our name checker can recognize gender-specific, unique first names and marks the corresponding salutation field in your webshop. Ambiguous or unknown names are ignored.
Upper and lower case of names are corrected automatically. If desired, even first and last names entered interchangeably are corrected.
If an academic title is stored, it will be deleted from the First Name field and transferred to the Title field, if the field is displayed.
Email check
An entered e-mail address is checked for various characteristics in real time:
- Valid syntax of the e-mail address
- Valid country domain
- Is the e-mail box registered and accessible?
- Is the mailbox full or deliverable?
- Is it a disposable address or SPAM e-mail address?
Phone Number Validation
The telephone number check adds a country flag to the „Telephone“ field and displays the appropriate country flag according to the dialed or entered area code.
If no area code is stored, the default country of the store or the selected country in the address dropdown is assumed. The phone number is then converted to the desired destination format.
Address validation
The address check validates the address fields entered for validity in the overall context. Valid correction slips are automatically offered for implausible entries. The customer can choose between their entry and one of the correction suggestions.

Now you should still inform your customers that we check the address data, possibly also other personal data.
You now have 2 options to include this information:
We have created a text proposal for you to include in your privacy policy. Customize the proposal according to the services you have booked.
On our website we offer you the possibility to check certain entries in address forms of our webshop for input errors in real time. This is to avoid problems with the delivery of the products you ordered due to incorrect information.
Furthermore, we want to ensure that their contact information is valid for sending information about their order or for any necessary queries.
We use the service provider endereco, Balthasar-Neumann-Straße 4b, 97236 Randersacker, Germany, to provide these functions. The service provider processes the data exclusively in accordance with our instructions. The legal basis for the transmission, processing and temporary storage of the data by the service provider is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, as it is absolutely necessary for the fulfillment of the contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures that some of the data entered by you in the input mask are checked for correctness.
