Why use Loc8 Code?

Find properties, businesses and services in Ireland with ease

Loc8 Codes allow you to pinpoint properties and locations in Ireland quickly and accurately. It’s a system that offers huge time savings to all users as well as financial savings to many businesses.

Without Loc8 Codes it’s hard to be precise

Ireland has no postcode system and the problems this causes are well known. As many as 40% of Irish addresses are non unique which means finding precise locations can be difficult. Add to this the fact that addresses often have Irish and English language variants, each with different spellings, and the potential for confusion soon becomes obvious.

Loc8 Codes solve the Postcode problem

Loc8 Codes allow locations across the whole of Ireland to be defined to an accuracy of +/-6 metres. They consist of just 8 characters so they are easy to remember and once they have been assigned, they are unique to that particular location. What’s more, Loc8 Codes work independently of language so it doesn’t matter if the address they are added to is in Irish, English, any other language for that matter.

Loc8 Codes can be assigned for any location, not just buildings

While traditional postcode systems work by using road databases, the Loc8 system works by area. It means you can assign a Loc8 Code to any location. Construction site managers can tell building suppliers the Loc8 Code of their site entrance and music festival organisers can ease site traffic by giving ticket-holders Loc8 Codes for designated car parking areas. Loc8 Codes revolutionise the way Ireland is navigated.

User friendly codes for SatNav owners

Many locations in Ireland already define their location using geographic coordinates, they are difficult to remember, can be easily misunderstood and have too many characters. Whilst they might be useful, they have to be modified to make them more user friendly. This is exactly what Loc8 Codes do. They are easy to remember and simple to work with.
