Accurate coordinates have powered faster weather data integration for remote store locations
If Geocoder.ca had a direct connection with weather stations, that would be very useful. Rather than just giving me coordinates, immediately providing me with weather data would be a helpful improvement. Other than that, it does the job quite accurately. Adding more features than just plain coordinates would be beneficial, such as weather or other features that would make Geocoder.ca a ten for me.

A mature and affordable solution that is easy to install and easy to update
The product takes time to learn, it's not that easy. In the beginning we had a lot of questions. If you want to use such a tool in an real (industrial) environment, you have to ask how to get the network data. Can we do a full packet capture? Can we provide agents to our end systems? There are no simple solutions to these questions. It's a general problem when running such systems in an industrial environment.
