Postcode lookup to pre-fill address in a standardised Post Office format

Use a postcode lookup facility for three reasons:

  • Optimisation, itĀ improves the customer journey and reduces barriers by speeding up form filling
  • Cleaner data, it means all entries are clean, no typos and approved Post Office format making it more usable for labelling, data import etc
  • More usable for APIs that rely on clean data such as QuickBooks implementation

Cost wise there are commercial providers who can supply lookup for around 2p an address.
