AFD Pocket Products: Pocket Postcode Plotter

Overview

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 Postcode Plotter 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.

AFD Pocket Postcode Plotter extends the data found in AFD Pocket Postcode to include grid references (for mapping from the postcode) and free high quality map data. This speeds up work-flow by saving up to 80% of keystrokes while entering address data.

The grid references in Plotter enable the interchange of data between GIS systems and postal address systems. They also enable easy calculation of the distance (linear) between postcodes for building "nearest" outlet locators or for allocating customers to specific sales territories or delivery areas etc.

AFD Pocket Postcode Plotter 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 applications.
