3 Executive Summary Geocodes are the exact latitude and longitude coordinates that correspond to a particular address. Geocodes vary in granularity; the more precise the latitude and longitude data is to a corresponding location, the more closely it relates to an address. However, a less precise geocode corresponding to an address doesn t necessarily mean the value of the information is not valuable to a company. There are several different levels of geocoding data. From most precise to less precise these include: Rooftop and interpolated rooftop Street centroid Postcode centroid City centroid Region centroid Geocoding data is quickly becoming mission critical for any industry whose business relies heavily on accurate location information. Some of these industries include: Shipping & logistics Insurance Consumer credit Retail Telecommunications Global Locator, from Trillium Software, delivers a business-ready approach to geocoding that combines in one simple step real-time address validation with geocode matching.
4 Introduction Bringing geocodes down to Earth If your enterprise uses or manages address information in any way, you probably have heard something about geocodes, a new dimension of location identification that offers greater accuracy and control. Yet this promising data set is not easily understood. What, exactly, is a geocode? What does it mean? How can it be used? And how can geocodes benefit your enterprise? Answering these and other related questions is what An Introduction to Geocoding is all about. The goal? To bring an important and powerful location accuracy tool down to Earth, where it can be easily understood, and so it can be put to use in your business. What are geocodes and why do they matter? A geocode is simply the precise latitude and longitude coordinates of a particular address. Think of it as a universal, scientific way of pin-pointing a location for any place on Earth. A geocode is simply the precise latitude and longitude coordinates of a particular address. A geocode identifies an address latitude and longitude coordinates. If we are not map-makers, why should we care? Because geocodes reveal geographical insights that can have a profound impact on the way we manage operations and control costs. Consider the stakes in the following industries: Shipping & logistics: Reducing errors in the crucial last mile of the delivery chain saves time, fuel, resources and costs while improving customer satisfaction.

5 Insurance: Precise location data helps insurers make accurate risk assessments (floods and terrorism threats, for example) and manage exposure to accumulated risks that demand precise location information in order to provide accurate analysis of capacity and capital requirements. Consumer credit: Understanding transaction locations helps creditors detect potential fraud, i.e., purchases made from unlikely places for a particular customer. Retail: Accurate location data is critical for detailed customer and market analysis, and for storefront or distribution center location planning. Telecommunications: Geocodes help providers determine appropriate infrastructure placements (example: cell phone towers) for expanding networks and/or customer bases. In the following pages, we ll explore the various levels of geocode information available and how they re calculated, explain one enhancement level code structure, and, most importantly, help you match the granularity of geocode data to specific industry needs. Finally, we ll introduce one geocode resource, Global Locator, which serves as a onestep solution that matches cleansed address information with precise geocode identifiers.

6 Geocoding at the right level Suppose you need the precise location of a specific place in a city or town. In the language of location identification, you need latitude and longitude coordinates, also called geocodes. A geocode typically corresponds to a known or given address. But what exactly does the geocode specify? An entrance? A street? A city center? That answer depends upon where in the world you are trying to match an address to a geocode. In some countries the granularity of the match is very specific; in others it is not as specific. The more precise the available information is for a given location, the more accurate the corresponding geocode will be. It s important to note that less precise geocodes are not necessarily of lesser value to your enterprise. Depending upon the type of industry your business is in, the level of geocoding standards or enhancement levels you will need can be matched easily to your organization. But there is one constant you must have with each geocode: transparency. In order to make an informed business decision based on location, you must be able to assess the relative precision of the geocodes produced for you in a way that adds value to your organization without disrupting your current business practices. Interpreting the enhancement level code Suppose you are a retailer wanting to know where to place your next ten stores, or an insurance underwriter trying to assess a flood or earthquake zone. In the process of evaluating where to place your stores and which streets in a neighborhood are at greatest risk of a natural disaster, you will want to review several pieces if critical information before making a final decision. In addition to looking at information tied to your specific industry, you will want the most accurate location information available. That s where a geocode comes in. But, in order to know what a geocode is telling you, you need to understand how the geocode was organized and put together. While there is no widely accepted industry standard, the following code system used by Global Locator from Trillium Software is representative of the kind of information an effective geocoding resource should provide.

7 Consider the following code as an example: EL4-P0S4T4R4Z4C4. What does it mean? The prefix EL4 reveals the enhancement level, with numeral 5 representing the most granular, most detailed level, and 0 representing the broadest, least granular level. The body of the code P0S4T4R4Z4C4 identifies the components that were used to match the address to a geocode. Note that the body consists of letters and numerals. Here s what they mean: P = premise/house number, building or PO box S = street T = city R = region/state Z = post/zip code C = country There are only two numeric options in the body: 4 or 0 4 means the component data was available to make the geocode-address match 0 means the component date was not available In our example, for instance, the 0 following the P tells us that premise/house number data was not available to make this address match; everything from street to country, however, was used in the assignment. Available geocode levels In the following pages, we ll examine the following geocode levels: Rooftop Street centroid Postcode centroid City centroid Region centroid All rights reserved Page 7 of 13
8 Precision targeting True and interpolated rooftop data At the most precise enhancement level, EL5, the geocode returns the rooftop location of the address in question. When true rooftop data is available for the address, the geocode may come in one of three flavors: Geometrical center: the physical midpoint of the property s location Geometrical center Delivery point: where the doorway or postbox is located Delivery Point Property Entrance: the location of the property s means of access, such as the beginning of a driveway Property Entrance All rights reserved Page 8 of 13
9 In many cases, true rooftop data is not available for a given address. But with the right data and sophisticated software, providers can often interpolate (calculate an estimate based on known values) a rooftop address. To interpolate means to calculate an estimate based on known values. Interpolated Rooftops are calculated based upon property numbers along both sides of a known street. By dividing a street into segments and interpreting data regarding the property numbers at the beginning and ending of each segment, the program can make an educated best guess of the address rooftop location. Which industries benefit? True and interpolated rooftop geocodes are crucial for: Shipping & logistics companies that need precise information in order to calculate the most efficient carrier routes and appropriate delivery depots. Insurance providers whose risk algorithms include location sensitive information, such as proximity to flood zones, fault lines, or other hazards. All rights reserved Page 9 of 13
10 Street level positions Street centroid data When premise data is not available, geocodes can be calculated based upon the centerpoint of a given geographic area called a centroid. The most accurate centroid is a street centroid which is EL4 level data. A street centroid is first determined by identifying the beginning of a street within an address. By dividing a street into segments with known coordinates at the beginning and end of each one, the geocode provider can deliver a geocode that pinpoints the center of an address street. A centroid represents the center of a given geographic area or mass. Street Centroids are calculated by finding the midpoint of a street based upon street endpoints and street segments Which industries benefit? Street centroid geocodes are useful for: Fraud Detection Programs: Geocode data can be used to create customer profiles to track purchases and purchasing patterns. Purchases that conform to existing patterns would be less suspect, while unusual behaviors might trigger further investigation. Insurance Carriers: Geocode data can be used to evaluate the risk of perils that are less precise in location, such as storm or earthquake zones, and high crime areas. All rights reserved Page 10 of 13
11 Broader positions Postcode, city and region centroid data When the available address does not include premise and street information, or if the available information cannot be validated due to extreme typos or other errors, geocode providers can use detailed street segment reference data to calculate centroids by postcode, city or region. In all three cases, the centroid does not return a true geographic center, but an estimate skewed by the density of data points within that given area. A city centroid, for example, would not identify the physical center of that city, but the midpoint within a concentration of known addresses. In most cases, this skewing is favorable, as it reflects information of greater practical value to most end users. Available centroids include: Postcode centroid: EL3-P0S0T4R4Z4C4 Calculated by determining the average latitude and longitude coordinates of all unique street segments with an assigned post or zip code. City centroid: EL2-P0S0T4R4Z0C4 Calculated by averaging the coordinates of unique street segments within a city. City Centroid Example Region centroid: EL2-P0S0T0R4Z0C4 Calculated with unique street segment averages within a region. All rights reserved Page 11 of 13
12 Which industries benefit? Broader centroid geocodes are useful for: Fraud (credit card or identification theft) can be exposed when transactions occur in locations too distant to be crossed within a given time period for example, a credit card purchase initiated in Beijing one hour after a purchase in Amsterdam would arouse suspicions.
