US companies and their address
Application Type
Mobile, Reactive

Hello everyone,

It’s been a while since I’ve been on a platform and I hope everybody’s doing well. I have a question that I’m currently gathering the journeys in my user story mapping.


The use case is that I will have a large sales force that will be located in all 50 states of United States. This salesforce will be physically contacting businesses in their area to promote a product.

The question I have is this, is there a API with an Outsystems that will allow the sales individuals to enter a company name in the reactive web app created within the platform and it automatically the physical address and other information is displayed. At that point the salesperson can select the correct address without manually entering it? Would this be like a google API or something? I would need something that would allow this dynamic auto population capability while possibly thousands of sales individuals are using at the same time.

Much like a GPS when you put in the name of a company  in automatically renders  the name and  address of the closest match.

Thanks in advance for your assistance

Hi,

the Google Places API Find Place  |  Places API  |  Google Developers does return formatted addresses (if they have it). If you need more details on a company, eg. employeecount, revenue asf, then take a look at Dun and Bradstreet APIs https://developer.dnb.com/

At least for Google Places there are some components on the forge. 

Best

Stefan
