The Situation

An education provider approached Hopewiser with a critical requirement: to improve their school application process by factoring in distance to facilities.

Their goal was simple yet essential, match applicants to the closest available school, ensuring fairness and transparency in placement decisions. To achieve this, they needed a way to calculate accurate distances from each applicant’s address to their facilities.

The Solution

Using AtlasClean, Hopewiser delivered a robust, location-based solution:

  • Automated matching for clear and complete address data
  • Manual review for complex or ambiguous entries
  • Geocoding every record to return precise longitude and latitude
  • Distance calculation from each applicant to the relevant school facility

This process handled files ranging from 5 to 300 records, ensuring scalability and accuracy regardless of data size.

The Result

The solution is now a regular part of the client’s workflow, enabling:

  • Fairer school placements based on proximity
  • Improved efficiency in application processing
  • Consistent accuracy, even when data quality varies

By combining automation with human oversight, Hopewiser ensures precision and reliability every time.
