Overview: Travis Perkins’ operational success through Address Validation
A decade of partnership to power Travis Perkins' logistics operation
Travis Perkins is a leading supplier of building materials to the construction industry, operating more than 500 branches in the UK.
The company relies on valid address data for a seamless multi-channel shopping experience, ensuring efficient delivery of bulky construction goods to both in-store and online customers.
Learn how we’ve partnered with Travis Perkins for more than ten years, using address validation and location technology to support business operations whilst safeguarding customer experience.
Challenge overview
Due to the bulky, heavy nature of construction goods, it is crucial for Travis Perkins to offer an efficient, reliable delivery service.
However, the company’s manually entered addresses and inferior data validation solution posed a risk of difficulty to identify the closest branch for customers and manage the delivery of goods for suppliers.
Challenges
- Reduce inconsistent address format and data errors in the database
- Prevent wasted time and streamline checkout process for customers
- Smoothen the invoicing process and delivery of goods for suppliers
