We stadarize the addresses contained in your databases according to the same criteria applied in elaboration of our street maps.
In a first automated step, our system

- Reads the addresses
- Determines the type of address (Street/Number or Block/Parcel/Neighborhood)
- Compares street and neighborhood names with the ones that are stored in our database
- Assigns standarized names
- Formats additional elements (office, floor, appartment etc.)
- Assigns postal district codes

In a second step, we process the rejected addresses semi-automatically, and separate the invalid ones
The standarized addresses can be used for geocoding (assigning geographical coordinates for placement on top of a digital street map)

b. Assistance for entering future addresses

We assist our clients with the implementation of a system that only accepts valid address formats of existing streets and neighborhoods. With this method, new addresses will not have to be standarized in the future.

c. Geocoding of standarized addresses

The geocoding process consists in assigning real geographic coordinates to each address, and creating a layer of points that can be placed on top of a digital street map. The result allows easy sectorizing or route-planning for distribution and sales. By adding layers containing other information such as location of branch offices or statistic populaton data, the map turns into a very powerful tool for marketing analysis and similar tasks.
