Geodata Consultants Chooses Proxix Solutions' PxPoint for Unsurpassed Geocoding Accuracy PDF Print E-mail
Written by Proxix Solutions   
Thursday, 15 February 2007


PALM HARBOR, Fla., Feb. 13 -- Proxix Solutions, a leader in location intelligence solutions, today announced that Geodata Consultants, Inc., a geographic data provider, has selected Proxix's PxPoint geocoding software to improve the accuracy of their customers' geographic datasets.




PxPoint, a multinational geocoding and spatial analysis API, has advanced matching algorithms and the functionality to use multiple datasets to deliver the highest level of positional accuracy. Unlike other geocoding solutions, PxPoint can geocode using parcel boundaries, which identifies the exact geographic extents of an address.


"After receiving data back from several geocoding vendors, we did a numerical comparison and a visual inspection of all the data. PxPoint's results showed a marked improvement in the number of records returned with a street level match and superior results when using parcel boundary data," said John Haynes, vice president, Geodata Consultants, Inc.


With many enterprises seeking to leverage the value of location into their business operations, PxPoint's geocoding accuracy and spatial analytics is ideal for an industry application including locational analysis, mapping or location-based services (LBS).


PxPoint integrates easily into multiple operating systems for batch or real-time processing, or is accessible through a Web Service.


"Over a decade ago, our team revolutionized the industry with the first national address level geocoder. Today, we again are transforming the industry with PxPoint, a multinational geocoder that provides the highest level of geocoding accuracy not attainable by address point solutions," stated George Rebhan, vice president, product management, Proxix Solutions.
