July 1, 2025 has passed. The major administrative boundary reform in Vietnam has officially taken effect. This is no longer a forecast — it has become reality. And very likely, your system is facing a hidden risk greater than you think.
🛑 Urgent issue:
Most current mapping platforms — including major names like Google Maps, HERE, and OpenStreetMap — still do not fully support the new administrative addresses. This leads to a series of serious consequences:
- Logistics systems cannot correctly identify delivery points.
- Delivery services are misrouted, delayed, or return goods.
- E-commerce websites encounter errors when customers select an address.
- Reporting data becomes unsynchronized, affecting decision-making.
- Many public administration systems remain “stuck” because they cannot find the new wards/communes.
💥 The risk is not about having no data — but about data not matching reality.

“Administrative Bombshell” Has Exploded: Where Are the Invisible Damages?
Imagine this scenario:
A customer in “Tam Thắng Ward, Ho Chi Minh City” places an order on your website. But the system only knows “Ward 8, Vũng Tàu City” and reports the address as invalid. The customer leaves disappointed. You just lost an order.
Worse, if the order is accepted, the delivery team struggles to find an address that no longer exists on the old map. The delivery fails, operating costs skyrocket, and brand reputation drops.
This is not the customer’s fault or the delivery staff’s fault. This is a system error – something many businesses are paying a high price for because they depend on mapping platforms that cannot keep up with administrative changes.
⚠️ Hidden costs are quietly eating into your profits:
- 🚚 Errors in delivery & logistics: Higher return rates, increased operating costs due to incorrect address location.
- 😣 Poor customer experience: Users get confused, lose trust, and easily switch to competitors.
- 📉 Chaotic internal data: CRM, ERP mixing old and new addresses, making analysis and reporting inaccurate.
Not Just Large Businesses – Small Businesses Are Also Affected
Restaurants, online shops, cooperatives, individual business households – all are affected when administrative boundaries change but systems do not update in time.
Local people may “understand” when the address no longer has the old ward/district, but customers from afar are completely lost.
A common case now is users sharing location via Google Maps, and although the system may navigate correctly, upon arrival the address no longer has the district name, making it extremely difficult to identify or verify the location – especially for delivery services, ride-hailing drivers, or new partners.
TrackAsia API: The solution to adapt to new administrative changes
TrackAsia has fully updated the latest administrative boundaries according to the 2025 resolution. This is one of the few mapping platforms in Vietnam capable of:
✅ Returning both old and new addresses in the same query result
✅ Supporting both old and new systems in parallel, ensuring administrative transitions do not disrupt data
✅ Optimized for industries requiring high legal accuracy such as real estate, finance – banking, logistics, e-commerce…

👉 Thanks to this, whether customers enter the old address (Ward 2, District 5) or the new address (Chợ Quán Ward), the system can still accurately recognize it.
