Overview
- Data capture is the start of your clean data process. Get this right and you can save yourself time, money and effort later.
- AtlasCapture is an advanced, flexible data capture tool based upon over 30 million delivery points held in the Royal Mail Postcode Address File (PAF).
- It enables the user to capture a complete and accurate address from a postcode and premise number or partial address, even if the postcode is unknown or the address is misspelt.
- It can be easily integrated through pre-built integrations or APIs and includes a Developer’s Kit for Windows and Unix.
- A full User Manual is available upon request.
Features
- Retrieves full-premise and sub-premise information (e.g. flats, apartments) from a postcode or a partial address.
- Captures the correct address where data is incomplete or hard to read. When an accurate and complete address cannot be immediately identified it provides a selection of closest matches at premise, street and locality level.

- Uses the latest and most powerful cross-matching and pick list technology.
- Powerful gazetteer system enables the user to manipulate their search criteria to maximise scrutiny of addresses.
- Sends addresses directly to standard Windows applications such as Word or Excel.
- Can be used to accurately capture addresses through web applications.
- Address format is defined by the user allowing addresses to comply with existing systems and databases.
- Address labels can be returned in a variety of formats including Royal Mail standard and British Standard 7666.
- Allows extra data fields to be captured in addition to names and addresses so that all information can be recorded and stored.
- Allows user to interactively match against multiple address files.
