A Smarter Way to Manage Serviceable Addresses

A Smarter Way to Manage Serviceable Addresses

If you work with MDUs, HOAs, or business customers with multiple locations, you know the pain of trying to keep serviceable addresses clean and consistent. One building turns into twenty units. One company turns into six branches. Then billing gets messy, service catalogs get confusing, and simple updates start to feel like a project.

This is why the Anchor and Linked Serviceable Addresses feature matters. It gives ISPs a clean way to group related locations, manage them at scale, and reduce the manual work that usually follows multi-site accounts.

 

Curious to see how it works, watch the short video below ðŸ‘‡

 

What Anchor and Linked Addresses Solve

An Anchor address is the primary or central location. Linked addresses sit underneath it and represent units, suites, or additional sites. Together, they create a structure that actually reflects how property owners, managers, and businesses operate.

With this setup you get:

More accurate location management

You can keep a building or business together as one record while still managing each unit or site individually. No more workarounds or odd naming conventions to stay organized.

Faster onboarding

Bulk creation means you can load an entire building or corporate account at once. This is a huge improvement for teams that handle large MDUs or business parks.

Flexible billing

You can choose to bill each unit separately or treat the Anchor as the payer. It also supports subsidy billing, which is helpful for landlords, HOAs, or corporate agreements.

Better operational control

If the Anchor account becomes delinquent you choose whether all linked accounts are suspended or only the Anchor. This puts you in control of how risk is managed across a property or business group.

Service catalogs that fit each location

You can customize which services are available at each Linked address. This is ideal for new developments, HOAs, phased fiber rollouts, or business plans that vary by site.

Where This Feature Helps Most

This structure is especially useful for:

• Apartments, condos, and MDUs
• HOAs and new residential developments
• Corporate customers with multiple offices
• Business parks and multi-tenant commercial properties

Instead of piecing together locations manually, everything is organized in a way that supports clean billing, accurate reporting, and easier service delivery.

Why It Matters

Growth brings complexity. As providers take on more properties and multi-site customers, traditional address management becomes a bottleneck. Anchor and Linked Addresses solve that by offering a structure that scales. It reduces manual work, lowers the chance of errors, and makes it easier to deliver consistent service across every location involved.

If multi-unit or multi-site accounts are part of your world, this feature creates the clarity and control you have probably wished for more than once.

If you manage MDUs or multi-location customers, this update can save you time every day. Schedule a demo to see it in action.
