Online fashion giant boohoo Group is now delivering to what3words addresses
Online fashion retailer boohoo Group and location technology specialist what3words have announced a new partnership.
In the UK, deliveries can be challenging. Addresses aren’t always accurate, street names are often duplicated, postcodes cover broad areas, and specific building entrances can be hard to find.

The integration of its technology into boohoo Group’s services has been launched on boohoo, boohooMAN, Nasty Gal, Burton, Dorothy Perkins, Wallis, Warehouse, Coast, Misspap, Karen Millen and Oasis checkout pages.
