What is what3words?
Benefits
Quick to implement
Rapid urbanisation is leaving millions of people off the grid’ and difficult to locate. A 3 word address can be discovered in less than 60 seconds, enabling governments to give everyone an address in record time.
Cost efficient
With what3words, each 3m x 3m square in your country has a 3 word address that will never change, reducing the need for set up and eliminating maintenance – even in areas of rapid development.
Complements existing addressing systems
3 word addresses can be used to help deliver services and emergency aid, as well as for government data collection – always as an enhancement or addition to existing street addressing systems.
Access to essential services
Governments struggle to deliver basic services to people without an address.
Using 3 word addresses allows governments to offer access to essential healthcare and financial services as well as voting, censuses, birth registry and education.
Case studies
