ZipCodeWorld claims with the help of its databases, data entries will be faster due to ZIP code lookup automation which will guarantee a higher level of data integrity, identify customer demographics, increase qualified leads and revitalize sales.

ZIPCodeWorld ZIP Codes database has over 76,000 records covering all of the US  ZIP code, the PostalCodeWorld Canadian Postal Codes database contains over 800,000 records of Canada postal codes  and there are over 66,000 records from PostalCodeWorld Mexican Postal Codes database.

Datatabases are available in several formats: Microsoft Access, Microsoft Excel, dBASE IV and CSV ASCII text file. Coupled with the fact that these databases come with accurate census and geographical data, developers of store locator systems are now able to easily calculate  distances between cities within the United States and Canada.

ZIPCodeWorld.com has released the ZIPCodeWorld World Postal Code database subscription service which comes in basic, premium and gold editions. Databases are a series of new packages that currently support 15 European countries including Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.

The databases include the country ISO codes & names, postcodes, region level 1 & 2 names, city names, latitudes, longitudes, time zones, UTC, DST, currencies, IDD codes and languages.

Another Geodata approach
MBI World Postcode Point File
uses various types of World point file and gazetteers to look up a geographic name and find the geographical references where the corresponding features are shown.

Some gazetteers provide information about places and features. Some lists of geographic names are available as hierarchical term sets designed for information retrieval. Many other examples could be cited, for local areas, for other countries, and for special purposes.

There is remarkable diversity in approaches to the description of geographic places and no standardization beyond official sources for the geographic names themselves.

As most countries Worldwide make use of a postcode system. We at MB-International have developed a Point file gazetteer, focusing the emphasis on the Postcode rather than the place name, thus causing a reduction in points but generating a key identifier for almost all addresses.

Applications:
Lookup for WEB and (LBS) Location based services as well as transport and logistic applications. Customer Relationship Management (CRM) and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system integration. It is possible to geocode your own data files and to join up all your existing address files by matching them with the Postcode.
