About IdealPostcodes
IdealPostcodes is an address lookup and validation API that lets businesses verify, autocomplete, and standardise postal addresses in real time. When a customer starts typing an address into your checkout, registration, or delivery form, IdealPostcodes returns accurate, formatted results — reducing errors, speeding up form completion, and cutting down on failed deliveries.
Bad address data is one of those problems that looks small but compounds fast. Misspelled street names cause delivery failures. Incomplete postcodes break postage calculations. Inconsistent formatting makes it hard to deduplicate customer records. IdealPostcodes solves this at the point of entry, before bad data gets into your system. The API covers UK addresses comprehensively and supports international address lookups for businesses operating across markets.
For e-commerce businesses, the checkout experience impact is immediate — faster address entry means less cart abandonment. For logistics and operations teams, clean address data means fewer returned parcels and lower shipping costs. At Osher, we integrate address validation APIs like IdealPostcodes into e-commerce platforms, CRMs, and data processing pipelines so that every address entering your systems is accurate from the start.

How it works
We work hand-in-hand with you to implement IdealPostcodes
As IdealPostcodes consultants we work with you hand in hand build more efficient and effective operations. Here’s how we will work with you to automate your business and integrate IdealPostcodes with integrate and automate 800+ tools.
Step 1
Audit your address data quality
We analyse your existing customer and order data to quantify the problem — delivery failure rates, duplicate records from address variations, and incomplete entries. This establishes a baseline and identifies where address validation will have the highest impact.
Step 2
Configure the IdealPostcodes API
We set up your IdealPostcodes account with the right API keys, usage limits, and lookup configurations. This includes selecting the appropriate address datasets and configuring response formats to match your system requirements.
Step 3
Add autocomplete to your forms
We integrate address autocomplete into your checkout, registration, and delivery forms. As customers type, matching addresses appear in a dropdown. Selecting one auto-fills all address fields with the validated, correctly formatted data.
Step 4
Connect to your backend systems
Validated addresses are mapped to the correct fields in your CRM, e-commerce platform, and fulfilment system. This ensures consistent, clean data flows through your entire operation from the moment an address is entered.
Step 5
Clean existing address data
We run your existing customer database through IdealPostcodes’ batch verification to standardise formats, correct errors, and flag undeliverable addresses. This one-time cleanup improves the quality of your historical data alongside the ongoing validation.
Step 6
Monitor and measure impact
Post-launch, we track improvements in delivery success rates, form completion rates, and data quality metrics. The API usage is monitored to ensure cost efficiency, and the integration is adjusted as your address data needs evolve.
