Yes, the ADDAbot was a April Fools’ prank.

Some of you had a hearty laugh, some sent across detailed questions about its functionality, some requested a Demo, some asked if there are Solar Powered versions,  and some thought we were a much younger team than we actually are!

Thank you for allowing us to humor you for a day. The Weekly Digest was postponed from Friday to Sunday, just for the privilege of laughing & dreaming together with you – our dear customers.

Now it’s time to get back to the seriousness of April – Happy New Fiscal Year!

Team ApartmentADDA.

Dear ADDA Patrons,

We are here to solve the problems of Apartment Complexes – and the biggest problem after Billing and Collection is Security. Time and again we have heard of Security Guards falling asleep at the Gate, or allowing miscreants enter the Gated Communities and allowing Shoes and Toys being stolen breaking many a feet and heart respectively.

Having solved problems at a Software level – for the first time we are venturing into the Hardware Realm – with the release of The ADDAbot (yes, Sean Parker has tipped us to drop the “The”, and of course we took his advice). While it resembles Marvin from The Hitchhiker’s Guide, The ADDAbot is a completely unique Bot that is connected to ApartmentADDA Server 24 x 7.

What does ADDAbot do ?

ADDAbot can do everything the Security Guard at the gate can do, and some more. ADDAbot raises and lowers the Boom Bar, gives a special salute to the Management Committee Members, whistles randomly in the night to ensure everyone “jaagte rahein”, asks the food delivery guy for what is in there.. Since ADDAbot is integrated with our Accounting Package plenty of interesting possibilities exist.

Here are some of the settings you can make ADDAbot Operate :

Puss-in-boots Mode

Remember Puss of The Shrek? – when he gives that poor thing look to get his job done – ADDAbot gives a similar look. When a Maintenance Fee Defaulter passes the gate, ADDAbot will give the same look that will melt the hearts of Defaulters – and they will immediately pull out their credit card or debit card and swipe it on ADDAbot’s arm – which is integrated with the ApartmentADDA Payment Gateway module.

All Cards Accepted!

Munnabhai Mode

When a Defaulter passes the gate, ADDAbot will present a Rose. Right after the Rose is passed on, the Rose will be invoiced at Rs.500 automatically to the Defaulter’s Flat. On February 14th and other such auspicious days the Rose will be charged at Rs.1000.

Munnabhai Mode

Holi Mode

Chitti-turned-bad Mode

When the Defaulter’s car passes under the boom bar, the boom bar will drop randomly to scare the poor car passengers. We wish to give due Credit to a bunch of enthusiastic Committee Members in South Bombay for this brilliant idea. They are currently piloting this option and have got good results.

The above are just some of the features ADDAbot has. There is more which we will let you discover.
