Postcode Anywhere
Postcode Anywhere currently services almost two million unique web service transactions each day, with a typical response time of less than 30 milliseconds. The company delivers 100% availability to its cloud-based platform and since 2001, has experienced less than two hours cumulative downtime. Since 2001, Postcode Anywhere has championed the idea of making data more freely available, allowing users to interact flexibly with data at various levels, securely, reliably and in compliance with data security requirements. The company is familiar working on large-scale, technically complex projects and always delivers on-time and on budget.
Adactus is a Postcode Anywhere partner that has installed Postcode Anywhere store locators and UK address auto-fill on several websites, including Pizza Hut UK.
The Problem
When discussing customer needs, address verification and store locators are standard features you expect to see. We need to meet customer needs in an affordable and reliable way and we can't afford to get it wrong.
The Solution
We chose Postcode Anywhere for several reasons. The first being price which is extremely competitive compared to other providers, whilst staying reliable, and the pay-as-a-you-go model is great. People can use the service on a short-term basis to see how it works, and have the choice of moving on to other pricing structures as it suits them.
The second, from a developer perspective, is the integration. The documentation and the code samples make it a very straightforward implementation.
It's very easy to use and set up. More than that, once it's set up, the service looks after itself. We don't have to worry about server uploads or hosting the service. We've been using Postcode Anywhere's "where's my nearest?" geocoding service and UK address look-ups for several years and have never met any problems.
The Bottom Line
We make a genuine commitment to our customers about how great the service is and in turn they like the idea we're using the "best in practice" product.
