The new geography for business planning
Postcodes, or zipcodes, are an important tool for geographic planning. Originally developed to streamline postal delivery, postcodes are now commonly referred to as “the new geography”. They have evolved to become an integral part of the business planning process.
Postcodes / Zipcodes
Postcodes are a simple but convenient way to locate customers, assets, competitors – in fact, anything with an address. Enriching your address data with coordinates is a process known as geocoding and is the first step in adding location intelligence to your data assets.
Postcode centroids (centre points) are suitable for coarse-level searches and geocoding, while postcode regions (polygons) can be highly effective for visualisation purposes.
We provide postcodes for many countries of the world, as both centroids and regions, with seamless transitions across international borders. The data is available in all common GIS data formats.
