AFD Names and Numbers

AFD Names & Numbers is a comprehensive reference to UK names, addresses and telephone numbers.

The records of 37.6 million people (c. 10.9 million with phone numbers), full Royal Mail PAF® data (over 31 million address records) and 2.2 million organisations ( 1.7 million with phone numbers) are at your fingertips. All compressed to a tiny 1.5GB footprint.

There is a can-do attitude that we get with everyone at AFD, nothing is an issue, promises are kept, and this is important from a software partner – a refreshing change.

Names & Numbers is used extensively for rapid, accurate capture and verification of business and residential contact data and is also used in specialist fields such as Tracing, Debt Collection, Know Your Customer (KYC) and Marketing.

AFD Names & Numbers is also a powerful tool for use in the back-end verification of customer credentials for internet web sites, e-commerce businesses and voice-activated automatic systems. For some uses, special license terms apply.

Easy to Integrate

Our wide range of integration options include: AFD’s Address validation API, Developer-free integration using our Robot technology, and we can deliver plug-ins for popular platforms such as Magento, Shopify, Salesforce and D365.

Case Study

When customer data is received from so many different channels it is important that the validation sources are from a single, complete, and accurate source. Whatever the channel used, by colleagues or customers, we want a consistent contact data entry experience. When the rollout is complete, all these systems will have a touchpoint back onto the AFD solutions. We have found the Postcode People at AFD’s technical and support skills and responsiveness to be both very helpful and very good.
