Geocode API connector

Use a geocoding feed for reporting, automation and AI.

Data Panda brings a geocoding feed together with the data from the rest of your business. From one place, we turn it into dashboards, automations, AI workflows and custom apps your team uses every day.

About Geocode API

Where free-text addresses become structured locations.

A geocoding API takes an address as a string and returns a structured result: a formatted address, separate components for street, number, postal code, city, region and country, a latitude and longitude pair, and usually a bounding box and a confidence score. Reverse geocoding does the opposite, turning a coordinate back into an address. Most providers cover the same global base map and differ on coverage depth in specific countries, refresh cadence and licensing.

The reason to land geocoded results in a warehouse is that addresses in your business systems were rarely typed by the same person twice. The same Brussels office shows up as three different rows in the CRM, the ERP and the shipping platform. A geocoding pass collapses those into one location, with stable lat-long that downstream models, dashboards and route planners can join on.

What your Geocode API data is for

What you get once Geocode API is connected.

Geographic reporting

Sales, deliveries and accounts grouped by region the way the map sees them, not by whatever someone typed.

  • Customer revenue mapped per postcode and city
  • Delivery cost per region with corrected addresses
  • Sales-territory coverage that reflects real driving distance

Address-cleaning automation

Every new contact, lead or supplier passes through geocoding before it lands in the downstream systems.

  • CRM contacts standardised on create or update
  • Supplier and customer master data deduplicated on lat-long
  • Shipping addresses validated before the order is released

AI workflows

Give models a stable location feature instead of a string they cannot reliably parse.

  • Lead scoring with region as a real feature
  • Demand forecasting per catchment area
  • Route- and depot-optimisation models with clean inputs

Custom apps on your data

Internal tools that show your customers, sites and suppliers on a map your team trusts.

  • Sales-territory map with rep-level coverage
  • Service-call planner with depots and customer pins
  • Procurement view with supplier locations next to lead time
Use cases

Use cases we deliver with Geocode API data.

A list of concrete reports, automations and AI features we have built on Geocode API data. Pick the one that matches your situation.

Address standardisationOne canonical address per customer and supplier across systems.
Customer deduplicationMerge records that match on lat-long even when the strings differ.
Sales territory mappingAccounts assigned by real coordinates, not by postcode prefix guesses.
Delivery zone analysisCost and lead-time per region with the right addresses behind them.
Catchment reportingRevenue per drive-time zone around each shop or depot.
Site-selection supportNew-location candidates ranked against your existing customer map.
Route optimisationCleaner inputs for the planner so routes do not break on bad addresses.
Field-service planningTechnicians dispatched on coordinates instead of free-text streets.
Supplier mappingProcurement sees lead time and freight cost against real geography.
Address-quality KPIsShare of records that geocode at street level, by source system.
Real business questions

Answers you will finally get.

How many of our customer records are the same place?

Every customer address goes through the geocoding feed and the lat-long is rounded to a small grid. Records that land on the same grid cell get flagged as candidates for merge, with the source system and entry date next to each one. The duplicate count usually surprises sales and finance both.

Where are our deliveries expensive?

Order addresses are geocoded and joined to carrier cost per shipment. Cost per kilometre and per drop is plotted by region, with the postcodes and routes that drag the average up listed separately. The conversation moves from a flat freight line in the books to a map of where the margin leaks.

Are our sales territories matching the customer base?

Active customer locations are mapped against the territory each rep currently owns. Accounts that sit closer to a different rep or depot than to their assigned one show up as candidates to reassign, with the revenue and visit history attached so the trade-off is visible.

Value for everyone in the organisation

Where each function gets value.

For finance leaders

One canonical customer and supplier per location, so debit and credit notes stop landing on the wrong record. Freight and travel costs broken out by region using addresses that match the carrier invoice.

For sales leaders

Territory maps and account-density views built on real coordinates, not postcode prefixes. New leads appear next to the closest rep and the existing accounts in their patch, so handover happens without a meeting.

For operations

Routing, dispatch and field service start from a list of clean coordinates per stop. Failed deliveries caused by typoed addresses go down, and depot planning has the customer map it needs before the next location decision.

Ideas

What you can automate with Geocode API.

Pair with HubSpot

Geocode HubSpot contacts and companies on the way in

New and updated HubSpot contacts and companies pass through geocoding before they reach the warehouse. Each record gets a clean address, structured components and a lat-long that lets sales spot duplicates and assign territories on real geography instead of on postcode prefixes.

Pair with Salesforce

Clean Salesforce account addresses for territory planning

Salesforce account and contact addresses are geocoded and pushed back as enriched fields. Territory planning runs on coordinates and drive time instead of free-text fields, and account managers stop tripping over three versions of the same client site.

Pair with Exact Online

Match Exact Online customers and suppliers on real location

Exact Online debtor and creditor addresses are geocoded and joined to the same lat-long key. Finance gets a deduplicated master list, freight cost per region falls out cleanly, and credit notes stop landing on a parallel record for the same site.

Pair with MS Dynamics 365 Business Central

Validate Business Central ship-to addresses before release

Sales orders in Business Central pass their ship-to address through geocoding before they leave the warehouse. Failed deliveries caused by typoed streets or missing postcodes go down, and the route planner gets coordinates instead of strings to interpret.

Pair with monday.com

Connect with monday.com so service jobs land on the right depot

Service-job items in monday.com get a lat-long and the nearest depot pre-filled from geocoded customer addresses. Dispatchers see the right team for each job at a glance, and the board reflects the same geography the field engineers drive.

Pair with Slack

Push address-quality alerts to the right Slack channel

When a new customer or order address fails to geocode at street level, a Slack note lands in the channel that owns the source system. The data-quality conversation happens at the moment the bad record is created, not weeks later in a cleanup project.

Three steps

From Geocode API to answers in three steps.

01

Connect securely

OAuth authentication. Read-only by default. We sign a DPA and your admin keeps the keys.

02

Land in your warehouse

Data flows into your warehouse on your schedule. Near real time or nightly, your call. You own the data.

03

Reporting, automation, AI

We build the first dashboard, workflow or AI feature with you, then hand over the keys. Or we stay on for ongoing delivery.

Two ways to work with us

Pick the track that fits how you work.

Track 01

Self-serve

We set up the foundation. Your team builds on top.

  • Geocode API connector configured and running
  • Warehouse set up in your cloud account
  • Clean access for your Power BI, Fabric or Tableau team
  • Documentation on what's in the data model
  • Sync monitoring so you're warned before reports break

Best fit Teams that already have a BI analyst or data engineer and want to own the build.

Track 02

Done for you

We build the whole thing, end to end.

  • Everything in Self-serve
  • Dashboards built to the questions your team actually asks
  • Automations between your systems
  • AI workflows scoped to real tasks your team runs

Before you book

Frequently asked questions.

Who owns the data?

You do. It lands in your warehouse, on your cloud account. We don't resell or aggregate it. If you stop working with us, the warehouse stays yours and keeps running.

How fresh is the data?

Near real time for most operational systems. For heavier sources we schedule hourly or nightly. You pick based on what the reports need.

Do I need a warehouse already?

No. If you don't have one, we help you pick one and set it up as part of the first delivery. Common starting points are Snowflake, Microsoft Fabric, or a small Postgres start.
