Address Validation and Geocoding
What is address validation and geocoding?
- Address validation is a systematic process that compares an address provided by a user to an authoritative list of true addresses for the purpose of enhancing the accuracy and consistency of an address record.
- Geocoding is the process of transforming an address to a physical location represented by a point on a map or a polygon area on a map which contains the address.
Using Intech’s advanced software known as IQ Office, Intech has successfully bridged the gap between traditional databases and spatial-based location databases, enabling highly efficient and reliable address validation and geocoding in real-time or batch mode. Furthermore, by appending standard geographic tags, such as latitude and longitude, statistical and electoral boundaries, and social demographic indicators to address records, IQ Office delivers incredibly valuable data that offers powerful insights across widely diverse applications in corporate enterprise, government departments and NFP’s.
IQ Office is driven by established and well proven matching rules. Its algorithms perform well even with incomplete or inaccurate data such as typos, missing address attributes, vanity/alias addresses, corner addresses and many other issues that confound competing solutions. A feature that is unique to IQ Office is an intelligent capability algorithm that enables geographic attributes to be returned even when an address is incomplete or ambiguous. In combination with other unique IQ Office capabilities, this algorithm substantially increases both accuracy and geocoding rates.

The Address Validation and Geocoding components at the heart of IQ Office’s location intelligence capabilities are the product of years of dedicated software development. IQ Office has been designed with customer feedback reflected in each iteration, increasing its functionality, effectiveness and efficiency.
In addition to IQ Office incorporating state-of-the-art technologies, algorithms and ‘gold standard’ address matching rules defined by Australia Post, the parsing, validation, standardisation and geocoding capabilities developed by Intech Solutions are constantly re-assessed and upgraded as the industry develops.
