Major household names in the Insurance sector rely on the accuracy of their customer data. Many have chosen AFD Software to validate the address data essential to their quotation and policy and risk systems.
For over 20 years the college has relied on AFD’s address validation, allowing staff to speed up the enrolment process and validate student address data.
In summer 2020 we doubled the capacity of our solar installation at the AFD Group HQ, Mountain View Innovation Centre (MVIC).
Our customers are not only amazed at how easily AFD’s range of solutions can be easily and quickly added to their sites, but also the instant benefits they bring.
When a letter is received at a household containing an error in the address or format, it immediately stands out to the occupier. When viewing address data that isn’t familiar to you, some errors which are glaring to the occupier can be invisible to the sender.
Every year, the entire team of staff each have the opportunity to nominate a charity of their choice to receive a donation from AFD Software.
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.
In early December, AFD Software donated £1,500,000 to over 80 staff nominated charities.

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.
In March, when we counted the collective data management experience in the team at AFD, it was just over 450 years!
