Welcome to the CDX Technologies April

We are pleased to introduce a new product, CDXGeoData,
which makes our location analytics available on software platforms
like the Mac. Our blog article announcing this product can be
found here.

Survey for state, county, ZCTA (ZIP Code), place, and

data from the Census Bureau.

CDXGeoData
Apps and Web Services
We've just introduced CDXGeoData
to expand our offering of location analytics software.
CDXGeoData is a set of spreadsheets apps and web service APIs that
work with a variety of software platforms including Windows, the
Apple Mac and Linux. We've designed this product so it can be
used by standard business professionals as well as programmers to
develop custom desktop or web based applications. Currently our
products CDXZipStream and CDXStreamer only work with Windows versions
of Microsoft Excel. CDXGeoData dramatically expands this
coverage
CDXGeoData is not licensed on a per user basis like
CDXZipStream. Any number of users can access the
CDXGeoData service with a single API key. Tokens are used to
access CDXGeoData with different levels for each service
request. Simple requests may only require 1 token while more
complex analysis like radius analysis will require more. A free account API key is available
that supports up to 1000 tokens each month for development,
evaluation and non-profit use.
Our initial release includes API web services that
support address correction, ZIP and ZIP+4 lookup, distance, lists and
radius calculations. We've also created a set of 7
Excel spreadsheet apps that work with these
services. These templates have been designed to work both
with Excel for the Mac and well as Excel for Windows. Just
enter your API key and paste in your data to get the reports you
need.
If you have one of our current products you might ask
why you might need this service. Not all customers have every
feature available and might need to do a one-time radius analysis or
demographic report. You might also want to distribute a radius
analysis to a wide variety of users in your company. CDXGeoData
would allow you to produce a custom Excel template or intranet site
that could be distributed without requiring any additional software
to be deployed. You just pay for the number of token requests
you need.
