AFD Pocket Names & Numbers® enables field based staff to use mobile and handheld devices for instant, user-friendly access to comprehensive UK name, address and telephone data.
Armed with Pocket Names & Numbers - retail researchers, fraud prevention officers and government agencies need not always have radio contact or access to desktop or network machines to verify, lookup or capture data.
Pocket Names & Numbers contains the names and addresses of 42 million people (8.5 million with phone numbers), includes full Royal Mail PAF® data (nearly 29 million address records) and 1.7 million organisations with phone numbers. AFD are the only organisation to compress these massive datasets onto a single handheld device.
Many organisations use Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) or Mobile Devices to bring radical improvements to the productivity of field staff and customer service levels. The big down side is that entering data with a stylus / touch screen or miniature keyboard is both tedious and error prone.
Integrating Pocket Names & Numbers helps ensure that vital address details are entered quickly, completely and accurately to any Windows Mobile device. This helps ensure that investment in mobile technology does not result in poor service through basic data inaccuracy.
This speeds up work-flow by saving up to 90% of keystrokes while entering address data.
The grid references in Names & Numbers enable the interchange of data between GIS systems and postal address systems. They also enable easy calculation of the distance (linear) between postcodes.
The stand-alone Pocket Names & Numbers program can be used for simple look-ups, searches, or to insert data into other programs. The powerful Application Programmers Interface (API) enables developers to put the full functionality of AFD Postcode to work in your own applications
