AddressTools is a third party application used for Autocomplete, validate, standardize and correct your Country & State fields. It can downloaded for all Salesforce editions. Many business users enter inconsistent data while entering State and Country. Someone may use "US" or "USA" or "United States of America" which can become nightmare. Hence AddressTool is used to have consistent and clean data in Salesforce.
