Address, Location and Property Data

AFD’s logistics specific data solutions contain address, location and property characteristic data for over 31 million unique properties in Great Britain. Every record has unique identifiers in the form of Unique Property Reference Number (UPRN) from OS and Unique Delivery Point Reference Number (UDPRN) from Royal Mail’s Postcode Address File (PAF). These identifiers specifically help with logistics companies needing to identify the correct delivery point, avoid data errors and link other datasets. Automatic data updates help ensure your organisation benefits from the latest available data and minimise errors that may occur from older data.

AFD’s solution takes a UPRN and returns the valid address record, making it much easier for our technical consultants to set up and configure the system and confirm that all eligible properties are accurately included.If we need to add or remove addresses, we can do so quickly and accurately using the UPRN, knowing we aren’t creating or just removing duplicates, which means we don’t need to review the entire database.Working with AFD has been great. The team has been helpful, always responsive, and highly knowledgeable about address data solutions. Following AFD’s advice to use their address validation solution with UPRN added has been a game-changer for us and has solved many of the problems we previously faced, saving us and our customers time, effort, and resources.

Failed deliveries?

Getting to the postcode is easy, getting to the right address is where the value lies for logistics companies. Many deliveries rely on postcode level grids at the centre of a postcode, in some instances this can be 15 minutes away from the destination potentially leading the delivery to fail or knock on effects on the rest of the driver’s deliveries. Property level grid references give you full confidence that your customer’s address can be navigated to precisely and the delivery will be successful.

Classifying addresses

What’s the split between B2B and B2C deliveries for your organisation? Are deliveries failing because a driver tried to deliver after 6pm to a Commercial address? All addresses have a property classification, e.g. Residential or Business, allowing for time sensitive deliveries to be planned properly and for insight into the types of deliveries that are taking place each day.

AddressBase Classification Codes provides additional identifiers allowing you to quickly understand, locate and perform analysis on the type of addresses you want to interact with. E.g. “CE is Commercial, Education”.
