      Email Validation

      Have you implemented email address checking from AFD Software?

      A simple mistake in typing an email address makes it impossible for an email to reach the right recipient. For a business or service-based organisation this can be costly to both revenue and reputation. An enquiry from a prospective customer appears not to have been answered or an order goes unfulfilled.

      Phone Validation

      Accurate data allows your organisation to maintain contact and relationships with customers. If the contact details in your contact database have errors, communications fail. AFD’s phone validation solution helps ensure the number entered is not only formatted correctly and has the right number of digits, we also check the number is “live”.

      Name and Address Validation

      Access to UK adult resident and organisation names and telephone numbers meets a legitimate business need to establish identity, reduce fraud, drive marketing activity and recover debts.

      Cleanse Address Databases

      Maintaining a clean, duplicate-free customer, supporter, member or prospect address database is foundational to effective marketing, high quality service and on-time delivery.

      Cleansed addresses make access to Royal Mail postage discounts possible and data analysis more reliable. This protects reputation and supports sound financial management.

      Check Bank & Card Details

      Successful electronic payments require precise, accurate bank account numbers, sort codes or credit and debit card numbers. But people make mistakes when reading them, writing them down or keying them in.

      Some even try to delay payment or defraud by introducing deliberate errors.

      Mapping and Visualisation

      Drive time and drive distance calculations are increasing in use as organisations look to plan routes with optimal time and route efficiency for deliveries.

      Nearest

      Where is my Nearest

      “Where is my nearest?” is a question often asked on the websites of organisations with multiple locations including; restaurants, cinemas and retail stores.

      Geolocate, Geocode and Boundaries

      Tailored Solutions

      Legal

      In the legal sector an inaccurate address or wrong bank details can have serious consequences.

Client confidence and a firm’s reputation can be damaged when simple details are wrong. We help major firms such as Sintons, Irwin Mitchel and MTA Solicitors get those details right.
