There are increasing numbers of people on the move who benefit from using a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) or Mobile Device. But when it comes to data entry a stylus / touch sensitive screen or miniature keyboard make it more tedious and very prone to errors.
Integrating Pocket Postcode helps ensure that vital address details are entered quickly, completely and accurately to any mobile device. This helps ensure that investment in mobile technology does not result in poor service through basic data inaccuracy. Pocket Postcode speeds up work-flow by saving up to 80% of keystrokes, while entering address data.
AFD Pocket Postcode uses Royal Mail PAF® data to offer every handheld computer user fast, affordable and easy access to address data – from just the postcode. The stand-alone Pocket Postcode 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 application.
