Geocoding in telecom: Mapping and expansion

A large telecom industry segment uses geocoding products to map service territories and identify potential expansion areas. Accurate geocoding allows for precise network infrastructure planning, ensuring optimal coverage and identifying underserved areas for potential growth.

Speed limits and cost efficiencies

Many telecom enterprises grapple with offering the fastest speeds at competitive pricing. Geocoding and address verification play a crucial role here. By mapping service areas and customer locations accurately, telecom companies can optimize network coverage and resource allocation, leading to cost-effective operations supporting competitive pricing structures.

Open floor Q&A with Smarty developers: A webinar recap

Let's be honest, when it comes to addresses, “'close enough” just isn't good enough. At our recent panel discussion with Smarty’s product team members, we really dug deep into what makes address validation work and why it's so crucial for businesses. The themes spanned from Google Maps myths to international quirks, from “non-postal” mysteries to best practices for keeping databases clean. Why Google isn’t the benchmarkOne of the most common statements we hear from other business owners is the “but Google Maps says…” objection.
Tariffs are high. Your address accuracy should be higher.

Tariffs are spiking. Shipping costs are climbing. Margins are shrinking. You can’t control global trade policy, but you can control how efficient and accurate your operations are in response. Most ecommerce teams, logistics planners, and data managers miss one of their best cost-saving opportunities: addressing accuracy. Bad address data isn’t hidden. It sits in your systems, shows up in carrier returns, and quietly drains profits every day. When tariffs rise to 15 to 50 percent in some product categories and import volumes are falling, every shipment becomes more expensive, every delay costs more, and every lost customer hurts more.
