While the Irish Government has acknowledged the fact that Ireland needs a postcode system, it has not yet delivered on the system that was tabled for launch in January 2008. The plans for the system suggest that a single code would cover anything up to 50 properties, which would do little to relieve the problem of ambiguous and non-unique addresses in Ireland.
The Loc8 Code system is like a postcode for the modern age. This allows a unique code to be assigned to individual properties and locations across Ireland. People searching for businesses and residential properties can pinpoint their destination to within +/-6 metres. This means that, for the very first time, businesses can count on the fact that their customers and goods deliveries will be able to find them easily and quickly.
For couriers and delivery businesses Loc8 Codes mean that they will be able to make significant savings on time and money. Local knowledge, once a vital tool for any delivery business network, will no longer be the key to locating homes and businesses.
