What is a UDPRN?
UDPRNs (Unique Delivery Point Reference Numbers) are eight-digit unique numerical codes for delivery points on the Postcode Address File (PAF) that identify specific premises. UDPRNs are assigned to premises until it is deleted or destroyed - at this point, the UDPRN is deleted from the PAF, ensuring that each code in the data set is unique. UDPRNs maintain long-term address records and consistent data across multiple data sets.
UDPRN data will save precious time, money, and resources as it helps to align your data and ensure that your deliveries are always on schedule, and your customers are nothing short of delighted with the service they receive.
How does the process work?
A customer’s address is held three times in differing formats ( this could be on one system or across multiple), and therefore, the matching rules would need to have a degree of tolerance that would create mismatches.
The result is that this customer is not categorised correctly, and they miss out on communications or deliveries first time due to this mismatched data.
Loqate can standardise the data and add the UDPRN to create a more accurate customer view.
After adding the UDPRNs, the different address formats are recognised as the same address, meaning that the customer will receive message first time.
