Efficient, feature-rich address data solutions
for creating, maintaining and sharing address
data in the British Standard BS7666.

Local authorities face significant challenges managing their Local Land and Property Gazetteers and Local Street Gazetteers:

2.7M+ address changes in Great Britain every six weeks.

Pressure to meet statutory obligations to create and maintain high volumes of properties and streets in the British Standard.

Mandated compliance with ever-evolving addressing standards of GeoPlace and One Scotland can be complex and time-consuming.

Manual address data entry across disparate datasets is inefficient and error-prone.

High risk of Council Tax and benefit fraud when disparate datasets are not linked to the LLPG GMS.

Continual budgetary pressures mean councils have to do more with less.

How Idox’s Address Data Solutions can help you:

Testimonials

“Working with Idox on the development of FindMyAddress was a great experience. We embraced a truly collaborative approach and worked closely on all aspects of the project from its initial design all the way through to go-live. The project team hit the project with high energy, momentum and enthusiasm and were extremely responsive throughout – it’s been a great pleasure working with them.”

Luke Studden , Data Acquisition and Integration Manager, GeoPlace.

“There used to be a team of four managing the Councils’ address data. Using Idox’s Aligned Assets platform for address data solutions has enabled us to streamline and automate this area of work so much that we’ve reduced the team to just myself.”

Una Herring-Green, Senior Addressing Officer/LLPG Custodian Adur District & Worthing Borough Councils.

“To manage our extensive ward boundary changes, we used Idox’s address data solutions for matching and cleansing, managing the LLPG and sharing the updates across the organisation. This made what could have been a huge administrative task so much easier and more time-efficient.”

Martin Laker, Bath and NE Somerset Council.

“Now we are utilising Idox’s cloud-based gazetteer management system for our LLPG, our IT infrastructure costs and maintenance overheads have been significantly reduced, enabling us to make our budgets work harder to deliver improved services for our residents.”
