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