Address capture is a critical part of many software applications dealing with the public. Unfortunately, it is also prone to keying errors meaning that high return rates on posted items need to be contended with.

Now you can add true "as you type" validation and checking of address into applications. This includes not just the scanning of exact matches, but also close too matches to handle spelling mistakes.

Country level maps can be used to graphically show the address being entered; great for encouraging conversation with the customer as well as providing visual cues to the operator.

The fast query response from the Global Data Server ensures that even with large numbers of users, performance remains high.

Owing to the specific requirements of realtime address validation, the SQL engine in Global Data Server includes indexing and retrieval techniques designed purely for this purpose.

 

Realtime address validation is also possible in Web Pages, with just a couple of lines of javascript being added to the Web Page.

Even in the web page, true "as you type" validation is performed using AJAX technologies, without requiring browser plugins.
