The problem is...
- South Africa hasthree different address systems:
- Street names in South Africa are oftenmultilingual. For example, Church and Kerk or Loop Street and Loopstraat.
- Street nameschange. Some residents adopt the new name while others still use the previous name.
- International mapping platforms don't make provision for Stand or House Number addresses,excluding the majority of South Africa's population.
- International platformsdon't cater to the multilingual nature of our addresses. This results in valid addresses not being found when the language the street name is carried in is incorrect.
- Being unable to find a potential customer's addresscould lose you the sale.
- Street Numbers
- Stand Numbers
- House Numbers
Our Solution:
AddressFinder is based on the 1map National Address Database (NAD), a multilingual and meticulously researched database covering all of South Africa.
Our powerful algorithm searches across different languages, styling conventions and address types to ensure addresses are found.
It links each location to the registered property's national ID number. This allows for effortless reconciliation between different databases.
