CartonCloud uses Google to find addresses and geocode them, ensuring they have the right suburb, postcode and city. Geocoding increases the precision of addresses in CartonCloud by providing the exact coordinates of an address (latitude and longitude). This also means you have the ability when adding a new address to type in the business name, and the correct address should appear and autofill the required fields. Additionally, when an address is geocoded, you will be shown a map view within the address. When using the mobile app, drivers will easily be able to obtain directions to the address.
