- About GeoDirectory
GeoDirectory is the complete database of buildings in the Republic of Ireland.
It assigns each property its own individual fingerprint – a unique, verified address in a standardised format, together with a precise Geocode. And to keep up with Ireland’s ever-changing geography and demography, GeoDirectory itself is continually changing and expanding.
GeoDirectory is now an indispensable tool used by hundreds of Ireland’s leading businesses and government agencies. It consists of:
- A distinct, verified address ID for every property - 1.86 million in total
- An exact geographical location - a geocode - for every building
- 193,000 individual business addresses
- A quarterly update which incorporates all changes
- Details of new construction underway.
The database is transforming the way business is conducted in Ireland. It has helped businesses to:
- Establish online ordering services
- Slash mailing costs
- Streamline transportation
- Assess insurance risk.
- Pinpoint potential new customers
- Conduct sophisticated market research
- Maintain accurate customer records
These are just some of the many uses of GeoDirectory. For further information on how the database is being used by a range of organisations, see our case studies:
