GeoStan corrects, standardizes, and geocodes address information, all in one step. By combining postal data with your choice of spatial data files from the world's leading data providers, it lets you generate the most comprehensive set of address-level geocodes available—and improves your overall data quality in the process.
Conflation for greater accuracy
Other geocoding solutions draw from a single database. GeoStan combines the data from two disparate data sources—USPS and spatial data from TIGER, GDT, TeleAtlas or Navtech—into a single unified data set, creating a wider and richer universe than is possible with either data set alone. You’ll get more matches, fewer false positives, and faster, CASS-certifiable results.
More point-level precision
Cascading match logic enables GeoStan to geocode at the highest level of precision. It starts at point level, proceeding until it returns the most accurate latitude and longitude assignment available. In every case, you’ll know the accuracy level utilized and the confidence you can place in the result.
