API for US ZIP, ZIP+4, and Canadian postal code data. One unified endpoint set covers North America — no separate APIs by country or data type.

What it does

• Address validation and standardization — production-grade parser with ZIP+4 append, refreshed monthly
• Radius search — centroid haversine and true spatial polygon intersection. Returns ZIPs/FSAs within range, with per-result pct_inside overlap percentage for spatial queries
• Unified lookup endpoint — accepts US ZIP, ZIP+4, Canadian FSA, full Canadian postal codes, or latitude/longitude inputs
• Autocomplete/typeahead — cities, counties, metros, states, FSAs, ZIPs
• Point-to-point distance — between any two postal points
• Census ACS demographics — 2011–2024, 542 fields per ZIP across income, education, housing, social, and economic profiles
• Boundary lookups — Census tracts, congressional districts, state legislative areas, school districts — with computed intersection percentages per ZIP

What makes it different

• Licensed commercial data — not commodity or scraped sources
• Canadian postal coverage — most peers in this space are US-only
• True spatial radius — not just centroid haversine
• 14 years of historical ACS depth via API — unusual outside of raw Census downloads
• One endpoint for all of North America — no country-detection or input-routing logic to maintain on the client side

The platform makes visible where technology creates friction and hidden cost, delivers the right help inside every application, and makes the impact measurable. Most adoption tools focus on guided walkthroughs. Userlane connects intelligence and action through two integrated capabilities. Application Intelligence shows how work actually happens across the software estate. App Discovery maps which applications and AI tools people use, including underutilized and unauthorized ones. HEART analytics (Happiness, Engagement, Adoption, Retention, Task success) scores each application at the segment level to surface friction, waste, and value. Portfolio Overview rolls up results across applications to guide budget decisions, license optimization, and change programs. Contextual Assistance connects people to the right help inside any application. This includes an In-app Assistant, Contextual Help for compliance-critical workflows, Announcements, In-app Surveys, Form Validation and more. Assistance is contextual: it detects where someone is in a workflow and surfaces the right support pattern. The two capabilities form a closed loop. Application Intelligence identifies where problems exist. Contextual Assistance fixes them in context. Application Intelligence then measures whether the fix worked. Userlane is built for organizations where compliance, audit trails, and data residency matter. The platform runs on Azure with customer-selected data regions (UK, US, EU) and isolated environments. Userlane is ISO 27001 certified and compliant with HITRUST, NHS DSP Toolkit, and GxP requirements. Userlane is vendor-neutral, providing visibility across the full application estate, including AI tools from competing vendors.
