What do you like best about Postcoder?

Postcoder is a great tool we've integrated directly into our applications for checking addresses, emails, mobile numbers, and bank details. It's really reliable and easy to use, fitting perfectly into our systems without any hassle. Their customer support is top-notch, always ready to help if we need it, and the price is pretty good too. All in all, Postcoder makes our work a lot smoother and we're really happy with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Postcoder?

I'd say that it's worth noting that accessing additional data for addresses comes at a higher cost. Moreover, the bank verification feature, although useful, is quite basic and may not meet the needs of those seeking more in-depth financial data verification. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Postcoder solving and how is that benefiting you?

Verifying user entered data which ensures our records are robust and well formatted. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Garrie Clayton-Flatt of Postcoder

Thank you for the kind review! It is great to hear you have found Postcoder to be reliable and easy to use. It is also lovely to hear you found our customer support top-notch - we are committed to providing an excellent service, so your feedback is much appreciated.

What do you like best about Postcoder?

We sometimes see up to 30,000 postcode look ups in a single day. Automated, alerts when the credit balance needs topping up, view of high levels of activity. Excellent customer service - had an issue recently regarding the auto top-up and was resolved immediately without any fuss. The postcodes lists are regularly updated so we have little negative customer feedback on missing addresses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Postcoder?

I only deal directly with Postcoder when something goes wrong, and nothing much does so nothing to write here. Postcode look-ups delievered via APi so very little interaction. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Postcoder solving and how is that benefiting you?

Makes the customer experience easy and quick, which means fewer customer issues and orders processed promptly. This is particularly important given the often high volume of orders we can receive in a single day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Rachel Potter of Postcoder

Hi, thanks for taking the time to review Postcoder and for giving us such a glowing report. We are very glad that our services have been so trouble-free for you and that you are happy with what we offer.

We were using the PAF file from Royal Mail. Trying to keep it upto date within our own custom CRM system was causing some issues. Postcoder has solved that issue. No more having to update the PAF files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
