MNP Media

Based in Salisbury, Wiltshire, MNP Media Ltd is a leading provider of high performance software solutions for mail order and web-based businesses, and multi-channel enterprises. MNP's flagship products, OrderActive, WMS and WebRelay, are currently used by a number of major international companies including Game Plc, Blooms Interflora, Hamleys and Virgin Projects Ltd.

As MNP has continued to grow, their client-base has become increasingly populated with companies with an international outlook. As a result, MNP was facing increasing pressure from clients who wanted international addressing functionality integrated into their systems. Responding to clients needs, in June 2003, MNP approached Capscan, a leading international addressing company.

Pierre D'Arbost, MNP's Managing Director explains, "We found their solutions matched our client needs perfectly and the quality and coverage of their international solutions to be exceptional. I understand their data is sourced from international postal authorities, which is further enhanced by additional national data. For example, Capscan's international data covers 99.5% of addresses for Germany, unlike other suppliers who only use the Deutsche Post postal file, which covers around 35% of German addresses."

"Their prices are also extremely competitive and since joining their partnership network, we have found Capscan's service and support to be excellent. With Capscan we have found a partner who is truly responsive to our needs," Pierre D'Arbost adds.

Dafydd Llewellyn, Capscan's Channel Sales Manager, agrees that Capscan and MNP have formed a strong partnership. "MNP's software appeals to multi-channel companies, operating on a domestic or global basis. Our domestic and international solutions are unmatched in their quality. By integrating Capscan's Zapcode, Zapcode Plus and Matchcode products, MNP has gained a competitive edge over their rivals. They are now able to offer their global business clients multi-channel sales processing solutions that contain cutting-edge address management functionality."

And as MNP continues to grow at a rapid rate, their partnership with Capscan looks to grow even stronger in the future. Pierre D'Arbost concludes, "Right now, MNP is experiencing unprecedented growth, with many installations planned outside the UK this year. As our only international postcode address file supplier, our commitment is to introduce Capscan to these new clients. Put simply: as our chosen partner, where we go, Capscan goes!"
