Sphonic realised address lookups would be imperative as part of their services.

While Postcoder can be used by any size of business, the orchestration platform built by Sphonic means that their clients do not have to make calls to lots of different services to provide various information; they can simply use one API for all kinds of validation and risk checks.

Postcoder's address, mobile and email validation, and bank validation allow customers to ensure data quality and create the best user experience.

Postcoder was provided as an optional service for Sphonic customers and has proved very popular.

Sam Clayton, Partnership Manager at Sphonic explains, “Everything is so easy to manage with Postcoder. The admin area allows us to oversee all the usage of our clients and we can give access to different datasets depending on our customers' requirements. The sales team have always been very helpful at finding us the best package based on our usage and we've been really pleased with the uptime and reliability of the service.”

Sphonic use the monthly plan option to provide them with regular payment instalments and ensure they will never run out of credits to allow lookups. Anything used over their monthly allowance is simply invoiced as extra at the rate they have agreed and the online portal gives them complete transparency of what they are using so they can upgrade or downgrade when necessary and there are no nasty surprises.

We've been really pleased with the uptime and reliability of the service.

“Postcoder offers a seamless integration with our services” says James Gutteridge, Commercial Manager. “It is very popular with our customers, it meets their demands and provides a very robust service.”
