A WHITCHURCH entrepreneur who created a UK-wide address-finding app now in a partnership with Ordnance Survey.

Spencer Taylor developed the DALUS app alongside business partners Ruben Riano and Garry Martin and they will have licensed access to the OD data sets.

Spencer first developed the app while working as a Tesco delivery driver after finding other navigation solutions could not get him to all the addresses on his routes.

The businessman still works part-time as a delivery driver, which allows him to test and improve the app and he believes the partnership with OS will benefit DALUS.

He said: "We are constantly improving the app and wanted to enhance the data sources we were using.

"We met with Ordnance Survey and presented the app, and were delighted that they not only liked it, but accepted us as a licensed partner meaning we will have licensed access to all the OS data sets.

"This new partnership with OS will ensure we stay at the forefront of meeting the challenge of providing both accurate and up-to-date details.

"As well as every UK address, this also includes data on new builds and homes under construction, so as soon as someone moves in and wants a delivery, we will know where they are.

"It also includes location information on amenities and many other locations like castle ruins, picnic spots, places you wouldn’t necessarily deliver to but which you still want to find easily.

"It has so many benefits and in the future, the mapping data will allow us to introduce artificial intelligence technology for smart route planning.

"We believe that the partnership with OS will make DALUS the most up-to-date address location and navigation platform in the UK."

Tom Williams, channel sales executive for OS said the partnership with DALUS would benefit the national mapping service.

He added: "I was really impressed by DALUS and its capabilities, both now but also in the future.

"To enable the company to grow, we could see the benefit in accepting it as a premium partner, giving them unlimited access to all our latest data."

Spencer and his partners launched the app in April and he said they are receiving good feedback.

He added: "The app officially launched in April after a long and intensive development process to create a superior address-finding app. "We have more downloads every day and the feedback we are getting is just incredible.

"We want to help people reduce stress, save time, and help the environment by reducing CO2 and cutting down on fuel usage."
