What is UPCS?
UPCS (Universal Post Code System) turns any point on the map into a unique 8-digit code that pinpoints an exact spot to within a few metres, anywhere on Earth. Where street names and house numbers are missing or unreliable, a UPCS code removes all doubt about where a delivery, visitor or vehicle needs to go. Codes are permanent, work indoors and out, and sit alongside existing addresses and coordinates.
How it works
- Pick the location — drop a pin or use your current GPS position.
- Generate the code — a unique 8-digit code is created in under two seconds.
- Share it — over WhatsApp, at checkout, or via the API.
- Look it up — the recipient gets the exact address, coordinates and directions.
Key features
- Meter-level accuracy — more precise than a traditional address.
- Just 8 digits — short, memorable and universal.
- Instant & permanent — generated in seconds; codes never expire.

- WhatsApp-first — generate and share with no app to download.
- Bulk & CSV, plus a developer API — generate, store and look up codes in your own apps.

Built for developers
A simple REST API converts a latitude/longitude into a country-scoped code, stores it against an order or user, and resolves a code back to an exact location — authenticated with your own API keys and ready for mapping, routing and checkout platforms.
