Much of the Uptick functionality is building centric, therefore valid addresses are crucial to the workflow. Uptick uses Google Maps to validate address.

There are several benefits to validated addresses:

  • It prevents double entry of sites where the address provided by the customer is slightly different, e.g. "10 Studley Street" vs "8-12 Studley Street"

Having all properties with valid addresses provides the following benefits:

  • It means you won't have to fill in contractor maintenance statements / signoffs from auditing customers

  • It will allow you to automatically load up asset lists and ESM registers for buildings already using bSecure.

  • Subcontracted jobs can share asset and rectification information.

Entering a valid address during property creation

When creating a new property, start typing in the Validated Address field and possible matches will be shortlisted in a drop-down list. Selecting the address will complete the address and enter the same address in the Display Address field.
