address lookup capability

Does ServiceNow have a built-in address lookup capability (without a paid 3rd party integration)?

 

I'm looking to improve the user experience on our Service Portal catalog items.

Currently, users have to manually enter:

  • Address Line 1
  • Address Line 2
  • Town/City
  • County/State
  • Postcode/ZIP Code

Ideally, I'd like users to either:

  • Enter their postcode/ZIP code and be presented with a list of matching addresses to select from, or
  • Enter a postcode/ZIP code and house number, with the remaining address fields auto-populated.

I know it's possible to integrate with providers such as Google Places, Loqate, AddressBase, Ideal Postcodes, etc., but these typically require a subscription.

 

Given how common address lookup has become across modern websites and applications, I'm surprised I haven't been able to find an out-of-the-box ServiceNow capability for this. It feels like a fairly fundamental user experience requirement rather than a niche use case.

 

My question is whether ServiceNow now provides any native address lookup functionality, or if there is a way to accomplish what I need without using a paid service.

Hi @Abbie2 

 

bring the location data into serviceNow and store in Location (cmn_location) table  using Data source, transform map.

 

Once data is available at servicenow, Natively You can fetch the data from cmn_location table itself where ever required within Servicenow.

 

 

Please Accept the solution if it assisted you with your question & Mark this response as Helpful.
