Postcode Data
We have been Royal Mail resellers for many years and offer some of the most cost effective deals on Royal Mail Data.. Our solutions are ideal for those who need access to the underlying data, for example, you are developing your own software or web site. As well as the Postcode Listings, we can Provide Area, District and Sector Centroids (GB National Grid of Lat / Long), Counts of the Number of Addresses in e.g. each Sector, and Simple Excel lists of the valid Districts and Sectors. In addition you may want to look at the Postcode Boundary GIS files for Areas, Districts and Sectors, and at the range of Postcode Maps in Paper, GIF and PDF formats.

Air Photos
We have been providing air photography since 1999. We currently have high resolution coverage of our own of the Edinburgh Council area (10cm / 2006) and the Glasgow and Renfrewshire Council areas (12.5cm 2006). In addition we now have completed scanning the 1988 Scottish Office survey, so can offer digital frames of historic imagery for all of Scotland (50cm and mostly black and white). We are also resellers of the entire Getmapping collection of UK and international imagery. If you prefer to commission your own (for example to get up to date imagery of a forestry block, or estate) then we can arrange that for you.

The MapInfo range of GIS software products is ideal for somebody that wants a relatively easy to use desk top map making and analysis system, for example to assist with analysing your client locations, sales by postcode area, and similar. MapInfo Professional is the main product, with optional extras such as Vertical Mapper for 3D work and raster modelling (e.g. a shop catchment analysis based on cells), and Routefinder Pro or DriveTime for network analysis. MapInfo integrates with Microsoft Office making it easy to get your data in from Access or Excel and easy to get your results (such as the maps) back into Word or Powerpoint.
