About GreatData

GreatData was incorporated in Florida in 1992 as Professional Computer Consulting. We did consulting and created tools for other programmers.

We had a 'tool' which we sold that was a U.S. ZIP Code file (our Pro-ZIP Code base product). When the Internet was in it's infancy in late 1993, we put our tools on a web page, including our ZIP Code file. The tools didn't sell too well, but the ZIP Code file was a great time-saver and hardly any computer systems were using a ZIP Code file to verify the city and state for a ZIP Code, so it became very popular.

Clients would ask us questions like: Can you add Area Codes? Can you Time Zones? As we determined there was a need, we would work to get a quality product to fill the need. This took many hours of manual labor, but because of the great encouragement and compliments of some of our clients, we pressed on to bring these products to market.

We have created a lot of 'firsts' over the years:

  • The first company to sell ZIP Code data over the Internet, including our add-ons of Latitude / Longitude, Area Codes, FIPS Codes, MSA Codes and Time Zones.
  • The first company to sell Canadian Postal CodesOM, including our Canada Complete product which provides additional cities per postal codes.
  • The first to create and sell Mexican Postal Codes.
  • Many of our products are unique to GreatData such as our Pro-ZIP Code Deluxe data which is ideal for use in address validation and locators, along with our City Center Points and Multiple City Spellings data.
  • We have an original web-based extractor which takes the complexity out of dealing with Census data. It enables clients to select only the data they need, in the format they prefer. It also allows combining of multiple fields into one such as age groups (1-4, 5-8, etc.) into one group of children aged 1-19!
  • We also have other unique products such as Multiple Area Codes per ZIP Code data and our Multi-County Max product which helps you accurately find the correct county for an address.

GreatData.com is now a North Carolina corporation.

We have recently released our ZIP Code / Area Code lookup gadget and have plans for a lot of great software applications utilizing our quality data.
