Case Study: Royal Mail achieves additional revenue and operational efficiency with Geoplan

Geoplan helped Royal Mail generate additional revenue streams by facilitating their ability to offer enhanced use of Postcodes for planning and operations

Royal Mail needed to turn its Postcode Boundaries from paper maps into a flexible digital format as growing commercial and operational uses of postcodes increased pressure on the system. Working with Geoplan and its postcode boundary data service, Royal Mail sought a low-impact, fast-turnaround way to improve how it managed postcode information for planning and operations.

Geoplan delivered the project right first time, on budget and on schedule, and has continued to maintain and update the digital postcode file twice a year. The result was a high-quality GIS-ready data product that helped Royal Mail improve mail allocation and field workload management, support better resource and pricing decisions, and generate additional revenue from enhanced postcode use.
