Case Study: Royal Mail achieves digital postcode boundary conversion with Geoplan

Royal Mail improves postcode boundary digitalisation with Geoplan, delivered right first time

Royal Mail faced a challenge as its paper-based postcode boundary maps needed conversion to a modern digital format to meet rising demand from applications like insurance and navigation. The company partnered with Geoplan for this digital conversion project.

Geoplan successfully converted the postcode boundaries into standard GIS files right the first time, on budget and on schedule, establishing a system for bi-annual updates. This solution generated new revenue streams, created a flagship geographical data product, and enabled more efficient operations including improved first-time mail allocation for Royal Mail.
