Resident Pro Software Editions
Resident Pro includes all the important tools you need to manage the hotel, without
the hotel managing you. The Professional and Lite Editions of Resident Pro is all
you need to run a hotel. If you don’t want to limit Resident Pro to one computer,
then the tools from the Softwareworks Studio can link Resident Pro to other computers,
telephone systems, epos, and online bookings.
Whichever Edition you choose, Resident Pro software naturally flows to enable you
to manipulate bookings on a powerful Reservations Chart (example screenshot).
From here you can check
guests in and out, add to guest invoices, leave special notes and memo's on the
system, and use the built-in function diary to enter non-residents, weddings and
conferences. Restaurant lists, Housekeeping lists, and Maintenance jobs are available
with a couple of clicks of the mouse. And letter writing or email confirmations become
a breeze...

Professional
Edition CD
The Professional Edition of Resident Pro is packed with features to manage all your
bookings; past, present and future. This complete and accountable system of work
is suitable for hoteliers who employ and entrust their staff to balance daily sales.
It archives occupancy figures, revenue, and management statistics. Unleash the power
of Resident Pro with the Professional Edition, and take full control of your hotel.
The main advantage over the Lite Edition, is the Professional Edition's accountability,
and financial aspects (example screenshot), together with it's Guest History analysis.
The Guest History automatically gives you statistics (heads on beds, occupancy levels,
source of business, non-resident covers, etc.) and the ability to re-print bills,
long after the guest has checked out.
It's accountable because the "Staff logs" record all the activity - for example,
who is making and changing bookings, and bills, and when deposits and refunds are
taken.
The financial aspect is at the core of the software. It takes bill production further,
to allow your Reception team to balance your sales daily, and to automatically produce
banking and monthly takings reports for your accountant.

Small Guest
House Edition CD
Suitable for small proprietor-run businesses that simply want to manage their present
and future bookings, and printout bills for their guests, without retaining any
history. The Small Guest House Edition of Resident Pro delivers all the power of
the Professional Reservations Chart, without the Book Keeping. Unlike the Professional
Edition, there is no archiving of occupancy charts, revenue, statistics, or daily
balances.
If you simply want to make bookings for your guests, and produce bills, this Lite
Edition takes the further financial aspects out of the picture.
With no Guest History, or daily balances, you will be relying on other, separate
systems, for recording your ongoing takings, and archives.
Although the Lite Edition keeps names and addresses of past guests in it's "look
up" database, there is no structured archiving of financial activity or statistical
information to look back on.
Prices start from £449.00
