DOTS IP Address Validation is a hosted, programmable XML Web Service that allows you to integrate IP-based location information, distance calculation and other geographic intelligence into your applications, business processes, and Web sites.

Benefits:
  1. Increase sales with geographically focused product displays.

  2. Retain site visitors with geographically customized content.

  3. Increase traffic to retail locations by highlighting local resources.

  4. Deter credit card fraud and enhance security with geographically based safety measures.

  5. Implement quickly and easily with Service Objects remote database hosting.
Where It Works: As soon as someone hits your site, DOTS IP Address ValidationSM will determine the visitor's geographic location and make that information available throughout the session.

How It Works: DOTS IP Address Validation detects the IP address of the user, and translates that to geographic area.

How Can I Use It:
  1. Customize Product Displays: On the opening page, a clothing retail site highlights a winter coat for visitors from Boston, and a Hawaiian shirt for visitors from Miami.

  2. Highlight Local Resources: A national bank chain lists only local branches on the home page.

  3. Target Advertising and Follow Up: From a sign-up on the web site, a hospital mails health-related promotional items such as refrigerator magnets with emergency numbers. However, they block this page for web visitors not residing in their local service area.

  4. Deter Credit Card Fraud: Certain countries are well known for fraudulent credit card use. Visitors from these locations using a credit card on-line are not immediately approved; they are requested to call an 800 number for further identification.

  5. Customize Content: An international media firm has versions of their site in English, Spanish, and French. Display the appropriate pages depending on the visitor's country of origin.

  6. Enhance Security: An engineering firm displays specifications for an Infrared camera, but only to visitors from the United States.
