Global Address Search and Retrieval: Integration with Experian APIs

The Challenge

The client needed a seamless solution to search and retrieve global address details directly within Semarchy xDM. The goal was to eliminate external dependencies, maintain high data accuracy, and enable users to interactively find and enrich address data in a secure environment.

Key Issues:

• No integrated mechanism for searching and retrieving detailed address information.

• Reliance on external systems or manual address entry, leading to inefficiencies.

• The need for secure, in-platform functionality with minimal latency.

The Solution

Wiz Digital Services implemented a robust solution using Experian Address Validation APIs, integrated seamlessly into Semarchy xDM. This accelerator allowed users to search addresses by keywords and retrieve standardised details, ensuring operational efficiency and data accuracy.

Key Actions:

• Built a Business Partner entity in Semarchy xDM, referencing a Country entity for enriched address data.

• Created a Java plug-in to enable API calls for address search functionality, returning up to 20 possible matches.

• Developed a REST client to retrieve detailed address information from the Experian Format API using global address keys.

• Designed an intuitive user interface with dynamic enrichers triggered on data change for seamless interaction.

• Enabled caching to optimise performance and reduce latency during API calls.
