Data8 release new Find My Nearest Web Service

Data8 continue to evolve and expand its real time lookup suite of Web Services, Integr8. The Integr8 range hosts an array of data capture and validation services. Data8’s range provides professional standard data to web sites and business applications.

The latest addition to the Integr8 collection is the ready-made "Find My Nearest" Web Service. With a Geocoding Service providing precise locations to 100 metres at the heart of the service, the "Find my Nearest" service can act as a store locator or branch finder.

The Find My Nearest addition to the Geocoding Service has been developed in line with the integ8 objective, to provide web services which can be easily integrated into any website or business application.

Data8’s Find My Nearest Service allows an end user to search all elements of an address. This ranges from street level through to town, city and postcode with instant results coming live from a fully PAF licensed secure server. The availability of full map integration allows for manoeuvrability aimed at creating a user friendly and interactive service.

Where’s my nearest needn’t be restricted to locating a store. The service is designed to be adaptable and easy to use. The service can be related to many situations, whether that is locating your nearest branch, showing your resellers where distribution centres are or utilising the service to provide an accurate delivery quote based on the location distance. The adaptability of the service and its user friendly nature allows locations to be added and removed with the results immediately registering upon the live service.

Managing Director Antony Allen commented: "With over 33 million lookups on Google alone for the phrase 'shop finder' and competition in all markets being at an all time high being easily accessible and visible is no longer an advantage but a necessity".

"Integr8’s Find My Nearest service with its built in store locator is breaking down the barriers to entry previously in place when contemplating this type of service. With the step by step tutorials and full sample coding provided a team of developers is no longer required in order to set up and run the service. Add into this that you can have the service fully operational for an initial layout of £25 this service really is open to anyone. “
