AFD Software was chosen as a partner in data quality to overcome three major challenges: cleanse almost one million customer addresses; classify each customer as business or consumer; and improve address validation at the point of entry.
AFD’s expert Data Teams have spent the last year improving both the quantity and quality of existing grid reference data, and how quickly new postcodes have grids added to them.
Our exciting new developments around mapping, geolocation, geocoding and nearest functionality are helping organisations speed up the process and providing the optimal route to get their customers to the right location.
Innovation is key to growth. AFD Software has grown to become the world’s leading specialist on UK addressing by understanding the pains our customers face and developing solutions to solve them.
During the pandemic, more organisations found having accurate contact data – name, address, sometimes email and phone number too - is essential.
AFD plays a key role in serving the United Kingdom in working with the Royal Mail to update the Postcode Address File (PAF) and deliver it to all users.
Millions of online lookups are handled by AFD each year; our solutions help ensure communications are accurate, deliveries go to a valid address, payment details are correct and data entry is lightning fast.
AFD Software has provided Joe Browns Ltd with address validation for the past fifteen years. Ultimately, communication and orders fail if errors are entered or information is omitted.
In July 2015, Eire's (southern Ireland's) new postcode system "Eircode" was launched - which gave every single one of the 2.2 million letterbox addresses in Ireland its own unique Eircode.
Data quality is always important, but it can be literally of life or death importance in the Health Sector. Patient care, confidentiality, performance monitoring and correct funding are all impacted by data accuracy.
We serve thousands of organisations and a network of hundreds of partners across multiple industry sectors, enabling them to have full confidence in their contact data.
