Addressable

Why

Businesses who need to regularly capture address data use Addressable to:

speed up data collection
avoid spelling mistakes
capture standardised data
meet compliance requirements

There are no onerous licensing restrictions, unlike the Google Places Autocomplete service, which limits what you can fetch, store and how you use it .

You can save Addressable data to your database indefinitely
You can use Addressable in private applications
You do not need to display a map

We use open data from official government sources and those cost savings are reflected in our low subscription prices.

Our servers are located in AWS Sydney to provide fast and reliable service to our local customers.

Our clients range from local business, government agencies to publicly listed organisations.

Addressable is fast, low cost and easy to integrate.

Data

Addressable lookups use open data from official government sources which are regularly updated, from quarterly in Australia to weekly in New Zealand. Our automated data processing systems ensures the latest data is available to you within days.

New data is constantly being added from new construction, subdivision and data quality improvements. Since starting Addressable in 2016 we have seen year on year growth of unique address records, in both Australia and New Zealand, of >1% per year which means millions of new addresses added in that time.
