Address data cleansing software for optimising your address data to the British Standard BS7666

When you’re holding large volumes of addresses in different formats across multiple systems, there’s plenty of scope for error. 

Our matching and cleansing tool, iMatch, matches your source data against AddressBase Premium or your LLPG and reformats it in the British Standard, complete with Unique Property Reference Numbers (UPRN), ensuring a single truth for your address data.

Use iMatch to create cross-reference files of industry-specific data, such as meter IDs, to import into your gazetteer management system after the address data has been matched with UPRNs.  

iMatch is hosted and cloud-based to reduce your infrastructure and maintenance costs.

You can use our matching and cleansing tool in different ways depending on your requirements:

Tailored automated matching

Select only the fields you require to ensure fast, automated matches.

Interactive matching

When a more manual approach is needed, you can interact with the data to create matches based on additional information, such as neighbouring addresses, giving you complete control over quality of data on an address-by-address basis.

High-speed automated matching

When a user interface is not required, you can use the ultra-rapid capability to match up to 50 million records in 10 hours.

FAQs

Address matching and cleansing involves matching a legacy address dataset to an accurate data source in order to improve address data quality through updates and de-duplications.

Idox’s iMatch solution matches addresses against AddressBase Premium (or the LLPG for local authorities) and reformats them in the British Standard BS7666, complete with UPRNs. This ensures a single truth address for every location, allowing consistency and data connectivity, while simplifying future updates.

Key benefits include vastly improving address data quality, reformatting in British Standard 7666 for consistency and compliance, and allocating UPRNs to underpin every address as the single truth. Plus, it allows cross-referencing of industry specific data to locations, such as meter IDs or flood risk zones.

Sophisticated Search Blaze and Pattern Searching technology maximises automated matching results, minimising manual matching, making it time-effective and efficient. Plus when a user interface is not required, you can use the ultra-rapid capability to match up to 50 million records in 10 hours.

You can use one or all of the following: automated tailored matching ie eliminating unnecessary fields, interactive matching when a more manual approach is needed, and high speed matching.
