Enterprise Geocoding Module

Pinpoint address locations for better decisions

When your business or service decisions depend on exact locations, a street address won’t always provide the answers you need. Understanding property locations, GPS coordinates, altitude and parcel assignments provides a clearer, more accurate view of customer data. Enrich your enterprise data with an automated address geocoding solution from Pitney Bowes Software.

The Enterprise Geocoding Module, part of the Spectrum Technology Platform, returns specific geographical coordinates so you can assess risk, determine eligibility for service, calculate distance between two points, locate prospects and more. It performs address geocoding and postal code centroid geocoding for locations in the U.S., Canada and Australia to provide you with actual location coordinates, including the latitude, longitude, altitude and Assessor’s Parcel Number (APN) for your customer and business address records.

Leverage powerful location intelligence capabilities

• Address Geocoding for U.S./Canada/Australia: The Enterprise Geocoding Module takes an input address, matches it to a physical location and returns an exact latitude and longitude. Options include providing elevation and APN for U.S. addresses.
• Reverse Location Geocoding for U.S./Canada/Australia: From a latitude and longitude geocode, the Module returns the best possible address match for that location.
• Reverse APN Location for U.S.: Working from an APN, the module provides an address and geocode (latitude and longitude).
• Calculate the distance between two locations, or the distance to a location intelligent geographic boundary.

Powerful spatial applications to understand your customer

While an address is important for postal delivery, it does not necessarily give you the answers you need to run your business. With the precise location intelligence of the Enterprise Geocoding Module, you’ll be able to assess risk, determine eligibility for service, calculate distance between two points, locate prospects and more.

Geocode millions of addresses an hour

With unmatched speed and flexibility, the Enterprise Geocoding Module offers unrivaled throughput and the ability to process customer data more efficiently.

Achieve greater precision with minimum effort

Our cascading geographic logic uses street addresses, postal codes, intersection, road segment, named place and APN data to return more precise geocodes at successive degrees of precision with minimum user effort.

• Global service to allow users to geocode multi-country data file or transaction
• Address correction and geocoding with parcel level precision
• Calculation of geo-coordinates based on cascading precision from point and parcel level data down to street interpolation and postal centroid

Establish a permanent record

Unlike postal codes, longitudes and latitudes never change. Linking Permanent Location Codes to your enterprise data ensures geographic reports remain exact and relevant, year after year.

Access the widest range of spatial data

United States: Combines USPS® postal data and the user’s choice of spatial data from the world’s leading data providers, including TIGER, TomTom, NAVTEQ and Centrus® Points databases, into a single unified data set. This process, called conflation, provides significant advantages, including more matches and fewer false positives

Canada: A powerful geocoding tool that can geocode millions of Canadian street addresses in a single pass as a batch process, or a single Canadian street address in real-time. The Address Dictionary contains Canadian street addresses, street geometry and the latest postal code centroids. You can geocode to both French and English street addresses, postal code centroids, geographic centroids and street intersections. Plus, distinguish street address matches from postal code or geographic centroid matches by the result code.

Australia: The most comprehensive and current National address dictionaries in Australia – address ranges built using G-NAF, one of the most comprehensive, up to data and authoritative sources of address geocodes.
