Solutions Business Geographics :  Centrus Point-Level Geocoding Option


     The Point-Level Geocoding Option combines with Group 1's powerful Centrus product suite to provide the highest level of address-level business geographics accuracy possible, matching addresses to the actual building and parcel where the address is located.

Precision Address Geocoding

Group 1's Centrus geocoding suite precisely defines the location of an address with a latitude and longitude coordinate. With the Point-Level Geocoding Option, our Centrus solutions return the latitude and longitude coordinates of actual buildings and parcels where the addresses are physically located.

Complete Geographic Enrichment Solution

The Point-Level Geocoding Option is available for the following Centrus products:
  *  GeoStan
  *  AddressBroker
  *  GeoTAX
  * Centrus Desktop
  * Centrus ArcGIS Geocoder Plugin

To further enhance the accuracy of the Point-Level Geocoding Option, Group 1 partnered with leading data providers to gather and digitize building and parcel centroid data from hundreds of state, county and local government sources, which have also been verified against digital imagery. This point data is updated monthly and enriched with US Postal Service address and ZIP+4 data.

Cascading Geocoding Logic

The Centrus geocoding products use point-level data in combination with street-level data, and will cascade to the most accurate possible match. Using proprietary matching algorithms, addresses are compared to both point-level and street-segment data to ensure accurate matches, and to eliminate incorrect matches, also called false-positive matches. Our Point-Level Geocoding Option also uses CASS-Certified address cleansing technology.

Wide Range of Applications

The Centrus Point-Level Geocoding Option is the most accurate solution for applications that need the most precise geographic placement:
  • Insurance — Flood Zone Determination: These highly detailed areas of geography are very sensitive to even small changes in accuracy, and insurance risk is reduced by having the best information about exactly where a property is located.
  • Insurance — Distance to Coast: Point-level geocoding gives precise information about distance to coast, which is critical in making quick and accurate underwriting decisions for hurricane and tropical storm risk.
  • Tax districts: Centrus point-level geocodes reduce compliance costs and risks by ensuring superior levels of accuracy for property tax, sales tax, and special tax districts.
  • Online mapping using aerial imagery: Point-level geocodes put the geocode on the exact parcel and, in most cases, right on top of the house.
  • Routing: Delivery and E-911 services depend on high levels of accuracy to perform their jobs efficiently and safely.
  • Utility companies: Call–before–you–dig applications and automated meter-reading systems save time and money by knowing the exact locations of houses.
  • Homeland Security: Point-Level Geocoding helps locate and identify the precise locations of large public and office buildings, hospitals, and industrial facilities, which assists in the planning and response to attacks and other hazards
