Locate 2022

Locate has become the default tool for searching and locating consumers and businesses. It does so by linking and cross-referencing a range of current and historical data sources, as well as utilising tools that assist in locating and tracing people and businesses.

This product was developed specifically for the purpose of supporting the mercantile agent, investigative and finance industries, as well as accounts receivables departments across the country. We combine results from a range of sources to provide up to date information about your customers.

Locate presents a web-based user interface to allow users to quickly and efficiently find lost customers. It implements a variety of features to ensure that the user retrieves the most up to date records as quickly as possible.

Summary of features

Easy to use and fully integrated search functionality

Acceleon Locate features an easy to use interface that allows users to enter basic information in natural language format that the system will automatically interpret to return the most relevant results.

Searches are automatically performed against multiple data sources at once and are aggregated into a single, merged list for easy viewing.

Additional helpful information at your fingertips

Every record that is presented by the system contains a wealth of secondary information that can be instantly accessed by clicking on the tabs above the selected record. These are described below:

Other occupants | provides users with a list of people that currently live at the address of interest.

The timeline | provides a graphical representation of an individual and an address, including a history of the person’s movements along with a history of all occupants that have occupied the address of interest.

ABR | returns an Australian Business Register business name search on the current record.

Payment Profile | provides information based on the social profile for the current address.  This data has been provided to help researchers tailor their communication strategy with the customer.  The social profile includes indicators such as Disposable Income, Debt Service Ratio, Financial Distress, Renting – All Types, Renting – State Housing, Pawned/Sold Something for Money, and Cultural Diversity.

Leads | provides alternate phone numbers and addresses for the current person using advanced proximity heuristics and historical movement analysis.  Acceleon believes that this will be a powerful tool in helping researchers locate their customer.  This functionality employs proprietary technology to search, score and rank candidates to provide the most likely candidates first.
