Re: OFBiz and Dutch Postalcode integration

Michael,

Thanks. The base registers can vary per country, and thus the postcodes
(see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_postal_codes).

In the Netherlands we can validate a complete set of address details by
solely providing a postcode, a house number and a house number addition.
See enclosed entry screenlet

​
and the resulting screenlet for the postcode and house no of the Alfa
brewery in my town.

​

I don't know whether other countries have the same approaches. And some
countries don't even use postcodes (see:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postal_code).

I do know that there are service providers out there providing access to
their apis, but most often that comes with a price. And there aren't many
client side solutions available in Java and/or Groovy. But there are plenty
written in PHP for other web solutions (e-Commerce plugins). It is a pity
that we can't exploit that more (e.g. with a http://www.orrtiz.com>*

Hi Pierre,

that sounds interesting!

Is this supposed to be shared with the community?
Will it work for other countries as well?

Thanks and regards,

Hi all,

I feel proud to be able to announce that we have successfully integrated a
rest service delivering validated address details on approx 8.000.000 in
the Netherlands.

With this function contact mechanism for all kinds of physical addresses
can be validated and enriched with additional information like e.g.
latitude and longitude data, governmental ids and more.

Correct registration of physical addresses is key with respect to delivery
of documents and shipments. Yet errors are easily made resulting in
incorrect deliveries and potential delays with respect to e.g. payment of
invoices. Over 13.000 addresses change weekly as a result of municipal
reclassification, completion of construction, split up/mergers of existing
homes and the renaming of streets, cities and counties.

Our new integrated function allows Dutch users to only submit a postal code
and a house number and validated address details like street name, house
number additions, municipality, province, addres type, purpose and more are
returned for acceptance.

For more information feel free to contact me directly.

Best regards.
