Address Data Solutions for Utilities

As utilities increasingly shift towards digitising their services, the need for high quality interconnected data has never been greater. The supply, maintenance and billing are all centred around address data, so accuracy is pivotal in linking different datasets in the drive for efficiency and increased revenue.

With millions of address changes recorded by GeoPlace every six weeks, it’s critical to maintain data accuracy once you have it. After all, out-of-date addresses often result in incorrect billing leading to unpaid bills, problems switching supplier and subsequent compensation costs, and the inability to reconcile different systems.

Our cutting-edge address cleansing and management solutions deliver the most accurate data to drive operational excellence for utility companies.

How to get accurate address data for utility providers

The first step is to support you with an initial reconciliation and clean-up of your data, making your existing records consistent and conformant with the British Standard. By assigning the Unique Property Reference Numbers (UPRNs) to verify one true address, you can resolve exceptions, remove duplicates and match your meters to the right address. Once your address data is cleansed, you can maintain it in our address management solution, automating the updates from Ordnance Survey’s AddressBase Premium dataset.

Cleansing and maintaining your address data to the British Standard will drive efficiency and maximise revenue through improved delivery of services and maintenance, more accurate billing and swift supplier switching.
