Use Case – Orange Is Future-Ready with Automated Address Management from Belmap
Challenge: One Reliable Source for All Address Data
In the telecom sector, accurate address information is fundamental to efficient operations. That’s why Orange streamlined its address management with Belmap, optimizing network planning, service availability, and the customer experience.
For a telecom operator like Orange, address accuracy is critical. Network expansion, feasibility checks, and customer installations all depend on precise, up-to-date addresses. Managing addresses from multiple sources, however, led to duplicates, inconsistencies, and missing data. This resulted in:
- Inefficient processes
- Error-prone verifications
- Additional manual work
Smart Address Management with Belmap
To address these challenges, Orange needed a solution that could provide a single source of truth for all address data. That’s why Orange partnered with GIM and integrated Belmap, an intelligent address management solution.
Powered by high-quality geodata, Belmap ensures address accuracy by consolidating and validating addresses from multiple official sources.
Stable ID: The Key to Seamless Address Management
“We no longer wanted to risk losing crucial address-linked data when municipalities change addresses. That’s why we looked for an automated solution that keeps our information reliable and up to date,” says Jean-Christophe Rase, Lead IT Application Owner at Orange.
One of Belmap’s most powerful features is the Stable ID—a unique code assigned to each address that remains unchanged, even if the official address changes due to municipal mergers or street renumbering.
A Stable ID ensures that:
- Address-linked information is not lost when addresses are updated
- Data remains consistent across different systems
- Links to other data sources stay intact
With a structured approach and close collaboration, the solution was successfully implemented within a few months—fully tailored to Orange’s business needs.

More Efficient Processes Thanks to Smooth Implementation and Automated Address Verification
Thanks to GIM’s geospatial expertise, the implementation of Belmap at Orange was fast and efficient. The project began with a proof of concept (PoC), allowing Orange to test the capabilities of the Belmap API before a full-scale rollout. With a structured approach and close collaboration, the solution was successfully deployed within a few months, fully tailored to Orange’s business needs.
Today, Belmap enables automated address matching, with addresses automatically checked against official datasets. This reduces manual work, ensures consistent data across all internal systems, and increases the accuracy of service availability checks. As a result, Orange can now assess much more reliably whether telecom services are available at a given address.
Automated address verification for greater efficiency
Belmap provides Orange with automated address matching, automatically verifying addresses against official datasets. This makes address management less error-prone and significantly more efficient.
Less Manual Work
Routine address verification tasks are automated, freeing up staff to focus on more valuable activities.
Consistent Data Across All Systems
Address data is centrally validated and synchronized, ensuring that all internal systems operate with the same reliable information.
More Accurate Service Availability Checks
Thanks to accurate and up-to-date addresses, Orange can assess much more precisely whether telecom services are available at a specific location.
Ready for the Future
With Belmap, Orange is better equipped to scale its network efficiently. Thanks to continuous updates and geospatial intelligence, Orange now has a central, high-quality address database.
This prepares the company for:
- Further rollout of fiber networks
- 5G expansions
- Smart city initiatives
