Zillow.com Selects Group 1's Geocoding Software to Enhance Consumer Experience  E-mail
Written by Group 1 Software, Inc   
24 April 2006
Newest Real Estate Website Powered by Geocoding Software Enhances Location Accuracy by Incorporating Point Data from Parcel and Building Maps

LANHAM, Md., April 24 -- Group 1 Software, Inc., a Pitney Bowes Company (NYSE: PBI), today announced that Zillow.com has selected Group 1's GeoStan™ geocoding software and Point-Level data to help improve the accuracy of address locations of the Web site's mapped "Zestimates," or valuations, of millions of homes in America.

"Group 1 Software's precision geocoding has enhanced our mapping capabilities by helping us to more accurately pinpoint addresses searched," said Jorrit Van der Meulen, vice president, partner relations at Zillow.com. "This enhances our overall customer experience and allows us to empower consumers with better tools and information to help them become smarter in the real estate process."

GeoStan, a component of the company's comprehensive Customer Communication Management (CCM) solution, corrects, standardizes, and geocodes North American address information at successive levels of precision, including parcel, street segment, ZIP+4®, ZIP+2 and ZIP Code®. GeoStan provides a more comprehensive set of parcel and address-level geocodes by combining USPS® and CPC postal data with spatial data files from the world's leading data providers. Precisely defining the location of an address with latitude and longitude coordinates, the location is then displayed on a map or photo with unprecedented accuracy.

"As Zillow provides valuations and data for millions of homes across the country, they require a more enhanced geocoding solution," said Steve Walden, vice president and general manager, Centrus Division, Group 1 Software. "We are pleased that Zillow recognizes the high quality location accuracy of GeoStan and selected it for their online solutions. Zillow's selection of Group 1's geocoding solution provides further testimony to our ability to deliver enhanced pinpoint accuracy for online location services."
