Answer any location question in a flash

With the "Query me" service, you can use Belmap's wealth of location parameters to answer any question about locations in the Benelux.

As such, you can get answers to questions such as:

• How many addresses does a certain street or neighbourhood have?
• Which public buildings in the Benelux are not equipped with solar panels?
• How many inhabitants live within a 10 kilometre radius of a chemical production plant?
• Which parcels in a certain street have a front garden larger than 25 m2

Would you like a customised solution? No problem! From retrieving the number of objects that meet your criteria to details of all individual objects, you will always get what you're looking for. 

Reveal every detail about a location

With the "Reveal Location" service, your application conjures up all available information about a single address, building or cadastral parcel in no time.

This provides you with clear location insights for requests such as:

• Automatically estimate the risks of home insurance by revealing the characteristics of a new property;
• Determine the cost of a new fibre home connection by identifying the presence of a front garden and its pervious or impervious surface;
• Assessing the suitability of installing a private electric vehicle charging station within a building by revealing details such as building type, roof type and orientation, the presence of solar panels, household characteristics and front garden surface.

Put order in your address management

Do you use multiple sources for address management within your organisation? Are you struggling with duplicate addresses, municipal mergers, translations or outdated street names? Belmap's “Unified Address” service makes this a thing of the past. Connect your applications to the most complete reference address database and enjoy consistent and up-to-date addresses including useful features such as:

• Autocompletion: automatic address suggestion when typing an address;
• Normalisation: correct spelling and translation to an existing and standardised address;
• Geocoding: assign a coordinate to each address;
• Reverse geocoding: assign an address to a coordinate.
