Simply Postcode Lookup Software

Why use Simply Postcode Software?

Manual data entry can take up a considerable amount of time within any office environment, and inevitably results in errors which need to be corrected. One guaranteed way of overcoming this issue when it comes to customer information is to incorporate the use of the latest postcode look up software.

In doing so, the one simple question ‘What’s your postcode?’ can be asked without the need to expand. Being able to use a customer’s postcode to obtain their necessary address data will reduce call lengths and dramatically improve data accuracy.

Postcode look up software can reduce typing time up to 80% meaning that staff will be able to promptly complete customer address information, consequently boosting their efficiency.

Return on Investment for Company Use

In a scenario where you have 10 staff members typing 100 addresses per day, using postcode finder software could end up saving 680 hours of typing per year – or 85 working days. This is based on the average typing speed of 40 words per minute, 42 characters in a standard postal address which typically takes 13 seconds to type.

Return on Investment for your Web Site

Recent figures from ‘Marketing Sherpa’ indicate that 27% of website visitors abandon the checkout process as a result of ‘not having enough time to complete the process’. However, by integrating postcode look up software as part of your online services, these speedy shoppers need only fill in their postcode and the job’s done.  Thus less customers abandon their checkout .

Consequences of inaccurate address data

A survey conducted in 2009 by the Interactive Media in Retail Group has revealed that inaccurate address entry, specifically via missing postcodes, costs the E-retail industry approximately £146 million every year. The survey mostly looked at the impact of address accuracy and data management, the costs of late, attempted and failed delivery combined with the environmental cost and impact. Two thirds of those involved in this survey have reported a reduction of items lost in the post after introducing postcode look up software.

Until recently, the average cost of failed deliveries, from £4.25 for each late delivery to £91.34 for the loss of an individual customer, was previously overlooked by businesses prior to the implementation of address capture technology. However, more than 70% of respondents involved in this survey have agreed that address postcode look up software auto-fill technology reduced incidents relating to shopping cart abandonments. This in turn improved conversion rates by 9%. 67% of all the participants agreed that postcode look up software technology brought them a significant return on their investment.
