Our Clients

Intelligent Addressing Ltd (IA) has provided address and data matching services to local government since 1999. During this time it has also been awarded the concessionaires to operate the national gazetteer hubs for both the National Land and Property Gazetteer (NLPG) and National Street Gazetteer (NSG). IA has undertaken data matching exercises for over 300 local authorities in Great Britain together with large scale data management and matching for national agencies, emergency services and utility companies.

As the custodian of the NLPG and the NSG, Intelligent Addressing has a business relationship with every local authority through England and Wales, as well as police, fire and national parks authorities.

IA has created Local Land and Property Gazetteers for over 370 local authorities. This requires the matching and integration of key local authority datasets such as council Tax, non domestic rates, electoral roll, housing, refuse collection, planning, social services, development control, building control, licensing, environmental health, estates, leisure, grounds maintenance and street naming and numbering. IA has also been responsible for creating several dual-language Welsh gazetteers.

Typically consultancy services that IA has provided to local authorities include:

  • Improving the data quality of address information within an authority
  • Using a controlled address dataset to underpin council applications with the ultimate aim of linking all applications to the same single address data store
  • Formulating an address management unit for an authority through procurement of more resource to support gazetteer maintenance and supported services
  • Formalising the flow of address change intelligence throughout the council via the LLPG
  • Reducing the number of address queries received from CRM applications
Over the course of the last two years alone, IA has cleaned over 1 billion address records and matched them to the NLPG.

Metropolitan Police

Intelligent Addressing was commissioned to integrate the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) address data with the NLPG.

The initial phase of the work related to the conversion of the MPS command and control centre operational address gazetteer to BS7666 format including data cleansing, dedupliction and identifying anomalous records. The data was then matched to the NLPG to provide cross-references to facilitate data sharing between MPS and local government via unique property and street references (UPRN and USRN).

The second phase of the work centred around data cleaning, conversion and matching of additional MPS address databases in the form of their 'Alarms' information used in the dispatch of units following break-in to alarmed property monitored by MPS.

National Register of Social Housing

Intelligent Addressing was commissioned to synchronise address data from Social Housing sources to the NLPG.

The NROSH project concerns the standardisation of data in local authority and 1,700 Housing Association systems, particularly for statistical purposes. NROSH wanted to use the Unique Property Reference Number (UPRN) as the common reference in all the datasets. For this to be achieved the data in the LA and HA systems has to be matched to the NLPG.

Manchester City Council

Manchester City Council engaged Intelligent Addressing to re-create their LLPG to improve the data quality of address information within the council by 1st April 2007.

There were 3 distinct phases to the work; LLPG data quality improvements, data matching of residential datasets and data matching of non-residential datasets. Each phase was considered an important project having an impact on subsequent work carried out within the council to facilitate the data integration within the council.

Intelligent Addressing also assisted the council in assessing the current LLPG with regard to compliance to the underlying British Standard and the Data Transfer requirements together with published data entry conventions to ensure complete consistency of the address information contained within the gazetteer. In addition adopted agreed protocols with MCC with regard to managing certain types of addresses within the gazetteer.
