Many businesses that need to calculate driving distances or find US zip codes and geocodes for different addresses or identify the closest stores to their customers for their daily operations already know that there is no better demographics tool than CDXZipStream. However, little do they know that this software tool can do much more than they can imagine. 

What is CDXZipStream?

Developed by CDX Technologies, CDXZipStream is an all-in-one Microsoft Windows Excel add-in that can perform a range of geography calculations, from as simple as finding ZIP code lookup to as complex as routing analysis and more, right in your spreadsheet. It can perform hundreds, if not thousands, of calculations at a time without requiring you to ever leave your Microsoft Excel. All you need to do is just put in the data you want and where you want it, and that’s pretty much it—CDXZipStream takes care of the rest.

What Else Can CDXZipStream do?

One feature of this tool many may not know is that it can be configured to utilize postal code databases for other countries as a replacement for the default US zip code database. Businesses and programmers can access this database by using any CDXZipStream built-in function that uses the local zip code database (such as CDXZipCode, CDXDistance, and CDXRadius).  

The tool supports 21 additional countries, including but not limited to Australia, Mexico, India, and Western European countries such as France. These databases are free and can be obtained through this download link. You can easily install them using the “Update Manually” function available on the CDXZipStream “Account” in Excel. However, take note that you must have CDXZipStream version 5.1 or later installed. All the registered users can access this feature by installing the current CDXZipStream demo installation file.

Note: The Bing and Here geocoding and routing functions are not affected by this change and can continue to be used for worldwide location data. The full Canadian database remains to be a standard optional add-on to the United States database.

If you are looking for a tool that makes geographical calculation a breeze for you, consider getting CDXZipStream for Excel now. Pricing starts at $69.95, which includes a one-year subscription to CDX Technologies’ U.S. ZIP Code database. Plus, you also get a 30-day money-back guarantee.
