What We Do

Offer precise rooftop geocodes for 95% of all physical addresses in the U.S. as well as 240+ countries

Our unique address parsing and matching algorithms help GeoCoder fix spelling errors and complete addresses that have missing or invalid components to provide more precise results. In addition to rooftop (highly precise) geocoding, we have other levels of accuracy to meet every need and budget.

  • Get precise, plotted coordinates to improve logistics and decrease shipping costs
  • Power retail store location and local search lookups to increase customer satisfaction and ease of shopping
  • Get real-time geocoding in 240+ countries around the world to power more effective business intelligence
  • Convert lat/long coordinates to a physical street address (reverse geocoding)

International Geocoding

Melissa offers accurate address geocoding for over 240 countries worldwide. The output points can be visualized on a map, inserted as stops for a route, or loaded as input for spatial analysis. Because addresses around the world are not all the same, the best way to ensure you’re getting reliable geocodes is to utilize Melissa address verification at the same time to ensure your data is accurate and the addresses are real. Click here for a list of all supported countries

Reverse Geocoding

Reverse geocoding works like regular geocoding—but it takes latitude and longitude and converts it to a mapped address. Imagine you have a GPS signal with latitude and longitude coordinates, and you want information about the place represented at this address. Imagine that with this information, you get the latest TIGER® address data, sourced from the U.S. Census Bureau®, for the most accurate geocodes and specific location facts like house number, city, state, ZIP Code, FIPS code, and more.

  • Translate GPS signals into exact addresses for location-based services, applications, and precise vehicle tracking
  • Expedite emergency and relief efforts by knowing exactly where to send help
  • Push real-time, geo-targeted marketing messages to mobile audiences who are ready to buy now

Street Route – Driving Distance Calculation

Melissa’s Street Route API is an easy-to-use developer tool that takes two latitude/longitude coordinates (or a batch of points) and returns the driving distance and total driving time between them. Street Route is useful for determining emergency response and disaster relief planning.

  • Create a “Find the Nearest Location” tool. Using a database of “known/owner destinations”, Street Route can compare a starting point location to the database to return all the route distances and drive times to the possible destinations which can then be queried to present the shortest distance or travel time.
  • Determine geolocations which cannot be reached by vehicle travel. This is helpful in determining latitude/longitude coordinates located on islands or rural off road residences and differentiates Street Route from competing tools that return “as the crow flies” distances.
  • Support for North America, South America, Europe and other regions/countries coming soon.
