Ensuring that Yodel can deliver millions of parcels every week is essential.
To achieve this, Yodel needs to reduce the time taken to deliver parcels, streamline route planning across their delivery network and eliminate any other barriers to successful delivery.
Having valid and complete addresses, combined with precise location insight, was deemed essential to accurately pinpoint delivery and collection points and ensure drivers can easily reach the right front door, first time and every time.
