Training Management System - Postcode

The postcode module enhances checkout forms by providing address lookup functionality.

The user can enter a postcode and this will be looked up using an external provider of address data.  The data returned is either directly entered into the checkout form or where there are multiple matches the user is presented with a choice of addresses.  

Use of the postcode module improves 

• The quality of address data collected
• The customer experience as part of the checkout process

Each postcode lookup to an external service is chargeable.  In order to reduce the costs associated with looking up addresses we are able to cache postcode data.  We are also able to lookup address data from the core TMS database first if required.  Both of these approaches can significantly reduce the costs of postcode lookup when a number of people registered into the database from one organisations address.
