Whether it is gas, water, electricity or telecoms, utilities are supplied to a physical address and because of the essential nature of the supply, for the utilities, perhaps only second to the emergency services, good address management is essential.   As a utility company, you'll need accurate addresses in order to send out bills and information about your services, but importantly, you need to know about new builds so that your new customers are not waiting to get their supply connected.

In the case of AddressBase Premium, which is the most advanced of the three AddressBase products, you can be supplied with provisional addresses. These are addresses that have been created by councils at the early stage of the Street Naming and Numbering process, which in essence means you will have information about all new property long before the potential customers have even moved in.

The AddressBase products is the natural successor to OS MasterMap Address Layer 2, which is used by many utility companies not only for the address component, but also in the utilisation of GIS (geographic information systems).

Superior to OS MasterMap Address Layer 2 in both accuracy and content, the fact that each record in the AddressBase products will contain a geographical coordinate makes it ideal for use in GIS and through that, the analysis of supply, demand and risk.

Symphony SinglePoint is the quickest, easiest and most cost effective way to give all people and all systems access to the AddressBase products. From customer services through to the planning of street works, all areas of operation across the utilities can benefit from the AddressBase products .
