Why Teams Are Switching to Vepler
We're not a quick replacement. We're a significant upgrade. Properly licensed data, official government partnerships, and infrastructure built for scale.
Royal Mail PAF, Done Properly
Every address we serve comes from properly licensed sources. As an Ordnance Survey Official Partner, we have direct access to the National Geographic Database, including AddressBase Premium with over 32 million UPRNs. Authoritative address information you can build a business on.
Kubernetes, Multi A-Z, Edge Caching
Our infrastructure runs across multiple availability zones with Kubernetes orchestration. Edge caching delivers sub-50ms response times across the UK. We process billions of API requests and our systems are designed for the kind of reliability that enterprise customers demand.
Address Resolution That Actually Works
GetAddress offered basic postcode lookup. Vepler's Resolve API uses AI-powered address matching to handle messy, incomplete, or non-standard addresses, converting them to standardised UPRNs with 99.7% accuracy. Handle flat ranges, building names, missing postcodes, and everything real-world addresses throw at you.
More Than Just Addresses
Switching providers is your chance to upgrade. Beyond address lookup, Vepler gives you access to 60+ datasets through a single API: planning applications, EPC data, Land Registry titles, sold prices, environmental risk, flood data, and more. All UPRN-linked, all cross-referenced, all from a single integration point.
We've spent years building platforms at national scale, including UK Critical National Infrastructure, where failure isn't an option. We bring that same rigour to Vepler: properly licensed data, serious infrastructure, and the kind of operational reliability that enterprise teams shouldn't have to think twice about.
