Introduction
Loqate is a real-time address validation and verification solution that allows you to capture and verify addresses. In PGM, the Loqate integration enables address lookup using postal codes. We recommend using Loqate in countries where postal codes cover very small areas, such as Great Britain or the Netherlands.
- In this article, you will learn how the integration with Loqate works and how to enable it.
- This article will be helpful for Club Owners, Perfect Gym Champions, and IT administrators.

Address quality assessment
Our integration also includes address quality assessment. Loqate integration enables us to assess whether the provided address is correct on the scale from A to E.
Address Quality Index
The Address Quality Index (AQI) is used to indicate the quality of an address, e.g., Excellent quality, Good quality, Average quality, Poor quality, and Bad quality. Any record that can be processed will have an AQI.
Two factors determine the quality of an address: the level of verification after processing and the match score.
| AQI | Address Quality | Explanation | Verification level | Matchscore |
| A | Excellent | Verifiable to at least Premise level without changes | >=4 | 100 |
| B | Good | Verifiable to at least Thoroughfare level with minor changes | >=3 | >=95 |
| C | Average | Verifiable to at least Locality level with moderate changes | >=2 | >=90 |
| D | Poor | Only verifiable to at least Locality level with more than moderate changes | >=2 | >=80 |
| E or Empty | Bad | If an address is unable to be parsed, the AQI can be empty. | else | else |
To enable quality assessment, go to PGM -> System Settings -> Integrations, find the Loqate section, and check the Is Enabled option, as well as Enable user's address quality assessment.
