UK address validation for logistics
Validate the address before the van leaves, not after it comes back
AddressBrain adds Royal Mail-licensed address lookup and validation to your booking, manifest and label-creation flow. Bad addresses get caught before dispatch, not discovered on the doorstep.
500 free lookups. No card required.

The cost of a failed first attempt
One bad address, and the round trip is on you
A driver reaches the door. The flat number is missing, the postcode doesn’t match, or the address was never real to begin with. The parcel goes back on the van, and the whole journey happens again for free: fuel, driver time, warehouse handling.
8% of UK domestic deliveries fail on the first attempt
That’s roughly 1 in every 12 parcels sent out.
40% of failed attempts trace back to address errors
Not damaged goods or a missed time slot; bad data accepted upstream and never checked.
An estimated £1.6 billion
The cost of failed deliveries across UK logistics every year.
Autocomplete and address search
Stop accepting addresses you will have to chase later.
Add as-you-type completion wherever an address enters your system: booking forms, courier portals, click-and-collect setup. Three or four characters and the full, correctly formatted address drops straight in. There is nothing left for the sender or customer to get wrong.
Search on a postcode, a partial address or a business name.

Postcode lookup and validation
Catch bad addresses before they reach the loading bay.
Not every address comes from your own booking flow. Marketplace orders, phone bookings, partner carrier feeds and imported customer records often arrive with no validation at all. Run them through the lookup API, one order at a time or as a batch, and get a full, normalised address list back for any UK postcode before it is assigned to a route.
Validates and normalises the data, one order at a time or in a batch.
Latitude, longitude and new build data included at no extra cost.
Clean the customer records you already hold before the next campaign.
Flag undeliverable addresses before you print the label.
