Reception Cash Drawer
For a relatively small outlay you could buy a CashDrawer to work
with Resident Pro. In effect, this turns your computer into a reception till. It
makes "cash handling" more secure - each time you receipt a bill, the CashDrawer
automatically opens.

PostCoder API Professional
PostCoder API Professional is an optional add-on for Resident Pro which gives you
instant access to millions of addresses, from up-to-date "Postcode Address File" data (PAF), when you need it. It works, quite simply, by allowing you to lookup
your customers address from their Postcode (or from other parts of their address).
The correct customer address
will be instantly retrieved, so you don't have to take risks with your customers.
Which PostCoder Level?
The PostCoder (PAF) data is available to purchase direct from Resident Pro, at 2 levels.
You can choose "Street level" or "Premise level". "Street level" will return a street
address and you will need to enter the property details manually (i.e. the house
number, or name). This is the most affordable of the 2 levels, and the latest
Royal
Mail PAF data is supplied to you
annually.
"Premise level" will return a street address, but will
also display a list of valid
property numbers (or property names) to select from. Due to the additional level
of data, which is subject to change as premises change around the uk, you will receive a quarterly update of the Premise level PAF data.
Why PostCoder API Professional?
PostCoder API Professional can be purchased direct from M D Smith, to work with
Resident Pro software. M D Smith is an authorised reseller of PostCoder. The solution is
integrated into Resident Pro, which means the Postcode retrieval software is built
into the appropriate screens where you see a red "Post box" icon.
Download Order Form
Alternative desktop Postcode software can be purchased from other firms, and the
addresses you retrieve can be copied to the Windows clipboard, and then pasted into Resident Pro. However,
unlike PostCoder API Professional, these other solutions are not fully integrated
into Resident Pro. This means that you have the inconvenience
of always having to remember to run the separate desktop software, or minimise it
to the task bar.
