İSTANBUL (TR) - According to E-Commerce Information Platform data, the Sunday grew by 64% in the first 6 months of 2020. In addition to the growing volume of e-commerce and shipments, the move of millions of people to different locations due to working from home and changing living conditions has also increased both the number of new members and the number of address changes made on e-commerce sites. The need to enter long address details on each platform where address information is shared was one of the main issues that users were forced to address. 

The solution to this problem, which negatively affects the user experience due to the loss of time it causes, came from postnick, founded by two Turkish entrepreneurs Bugra Kocatürk and Yiğit Çallı. An initiative that allows users to share their addresses in 1 second by giving aliases to addresses, addresses that contain details such as street, Street, apartment number, zip code, district, province around the world >>postnick called “>>Name.ev”, ">>company " works in the system with nicknames such as and provides use on integrated platforms. Starting from January 1, 2021, the initiative, which has started providing free services to all its users and today reaches users living in 66 cities in 18 countries, aims to create a common address format that will be used all over the world.

Shipments that can't be delivered to the right address cost $ 20 billion 

Buğra Kocatürk, Co-Founder and CEO of Postnick, who shared details about his business ideas, said: “addresses that contain a lot of information do not have an accepted standard worldwide. Address formats can vary in every country, even within the country. In addition, a large part of the world's population lives in geographies with or without an unqualified address system. If we take the United States, where the address system is advanced, missing or incorrect address shares cause approximately 6 billion shipments to be unable to be delivered to the correct address every year. The economic burden of this problem exceeds 20 billion dollars. Considering the growing and continuing volume of e-commerce, the number of cargo shipments and the international trade market, the importance of qualified and up-to-date address sharing is obvious. So we implemented Postnick in order to eliminate the complexity of addresses, which is still an unsolved problem on earth. We combine the address details, which have different formats in each country, in a common format and offer our users the freedom to choose the name they want for their address. Together with Postnick, which we can also refer to as digital conversion of addresses, we aim to minimize the time and inefficiency lost by address sharing by creating the global address standard." said. 

Users can store all their addresses for free in one app 

"Postnick users can choose all their addresses, such as home, work, cottage, nicknames they want, i.e. >>postnicks, and store all their addresses in a single central application. In addition, each user has an address alias for free for life and can define all their addresses under this name. On platforms that integrate postnick, users can complete this process very quickly with >postnicks that they created earlier, rather than sharing long-term address information. In scenarios such as moving or changing jobs, users do not need to visit all platforms separately and update their addresses. As soon as they update their address only on their postnick account, they can automatically access their current address on all integrated platforms. Instead of entering all the address details of the recipient, they just need to share the recipient's >>postnick. All users have to do for all this is, www.postnick.com create a membership from their address and get the address name they want for free.
