Postal Points and Geocoders

Add geographic co-ordinates to your data so that you can undertake mapping analysis or use it in spatial queries

Geocoding is the process of adding geographic co-ordinates to your data so that you can undertake mapping analysis or use it in spatial queries. Geocoded customer data may be geocoded to be used in home delivery routing or used market analysis mapping. You may also need to geocode your own warehouses, stores or engineer home locations so you can create catchments and territories around these points or maybe start or finish routes at these locations.

CACI have a wide range of point files at full address (premise), postcode or zipcode, or administrative area level to be used in your own application. Alternatively we can provide a geocoding service for you or provide an application that enables you to upload your own point file to the hosted service, which will then add and return co-ordinates automatically.
