Well you'll need to translate those into addresses. That should be easy with Google or Bing.
We have the addresses, need census tract and block.
For small address batches you can use the Census Geocoder. The documentation is at http://www.census.gov/geo/maps-data/data/geocoder.html Basically you upload a CSV file addresses and you'll get back FIPS codes for state, county, census tract and census block for each address. Concatenate the FIPS state+county+censustract code (not the census block). If you have lots of customers in many different census tracts, you'll probably want a bulk geocoding product.
