The most simple form of
postcode lookup is when you want to check an address for someone you know. For example when sending out your Christmas cards, you may need to confirm a relative's county or postcode. This can be done manually using Royal Mail's postcode finder which allows 15 lookups per day.
When you purchase online you will most likely have been asked to fill in your postcode and have had your full address returned back. This is often known as postcode lookup, address capture, address lookup or address auto-fill. Data8 offer this service for integration onto your website. We offer a
javascript postcode lookup popup option. Alternatively you can use our ASP.NET controls or SOAP web service to add postcode lookup to your website.
The benefits of using this service on a website are that from a simple postcode, you can get a full, validated address and crucially, you reduce the time it takes for a prospect to register. Data8's
postcode lookup api allows either postcode lookup :- Using a postcode to find an address or I don't know my postcode :- Find an address and postcode from a partial address.
As Data8 offer a postcode lookup webservice, you can
add postcode lookup to Dynamics CRM, Sage Accounts 50 and a whole host of other applications. If you have a call centre who collect address data you can either use the pay per click or unlimited
PAF license model.
