Clients are provided with a new version of Prospex when new features have been added to it. New features are usually added in response to requests from clients.

 Any updates of the documentation and the help system required will accompany updates of the software.

Data updates

All the datasets within Prospex work to a common Royal Mail update andcorrespond to one another.

  • PostView postcode sector, district and area boundaries are updated annually. These updates cover the Post Office systematically changing postcodes and postcode boundaries varying due to new buildings.
  •  Locus point set mapping module is updated annually.
  •  Geodemographic classifications are updated annually using Electoral Roll information and other datasets.
 The above three datasets are all updated at the same time, offering as little disruption as possible to the user of the system.

Mapping data is updated whenever new datasets are provided by the AA, NavTech and Ordnance Survey.
