Consistent Data through Symphony SinglePoint
With Symphony SinglePoint there is no longer any need to have
different departments each maintaining
their own address and location data.
Not only is it a tremendous waste
of manpower, but leads to huge
inconsistency in organisational data.
By using web services, Symphony SinglePoint gives all departments access
to the same, consistent data and in
doing so reduces costs, reduces the risk
of errors caused by inconsistent data
and ultimately allows you to offer a
more efficient and higher level of service
to the customer.
How Symphony SinglePoint works
Whatever data you are using Symphony SinglePoint with, the same, simple three step principle applies.
Step 1. Type your query
Simplicity is at the core of Symphony SinglePoint and its, 'google-like' one line
search bar allows the user to type any
part of the address or combination of
address components.
This could include the house number
and postcode, just the street or even the
UPRN (unique property reference number), and the results will be returned
based on this criteria.
It means the user can search on any
criteria, which is ideal when address information
maybe scarce, but additionally means that results can be easily found using less information.
Step 2. Select your desired result
In sub-second time, Symphony SinglePoint will return all results that match
your search criteria, intuitively placing
the best matches first.
With broad searches e.g. postcode only,
it is then a simple process for the user to
select their desired result and access the
full address data.
(In most searches for house number and
postcode or if the search is on UPRN
then the user will jump straight
through to the results screen.)
Step 3. Your results
They are a number of ways to view the
results once selected. As standard, Symphony SinglePoint will
show the Mailing Address along with the
UPRN, USRN, Easting and Northing, all
of which can be Copied and Pasted into
other applications.
