SinglePoint was originally designed and built for the British Transport Police (BTP) when they commissioned bespoke development work from Aligned Assets in 2007.
SinglePoint works by loading the chosen data into its schema, which it then indexes in a method similar to internet search engines.
[5] Because there continues to be no definitive choice of address data amongst the UK’s emergency services with some using the NLPG and others the products from the Ordnance Survey,[6] SinglePoint has been adapted to allow for the searching of both.
[7] This adapter technology is what allows it to search multiple data sources and makes it customisable to the users requirements.
Examples of its use include as part of the NEAT box office ticketing system at Worthing Borough Council [9] and the UK-wide Planning Portal [10] Aligned Assets
