The Tenancy Deposit Scheme is proud to announce a new API integration with @Druce, the heritage property agency transforming property management through a full-service platform that combines human expertise with cutting-edge technology.
About the integration
The integration with the TDS API enables agents to manage tenancy deposits effortlessly, automating key processes and removing the need for manual data entry. This helps agents stay compliant with legislation while saving valuable time and reducing the risk of errors.
What is TDS API?
The TDS API is a powerful tool that allows software partners and agencies like @Druce to incorporate deposit protection directly into their own platforms. By automating critical tasks, the API not only ensures legal compliance but also improves efficiency and accuracy. This enables agencies to deliver a seamless experience to both landlords and tenants.
@Druce: A legacy of excellence
With a legacy dating back to 1822, @Druce is known for delivering exceptional service, trust, and results across all areas of property; from acquisitions and lettings to long-term asset management. Headquartered in London, @Druce operates from six prime Central London branches, with three more set to open later this year. Its growing global presence includes regional hubs in Singapore, Vietnam, and Dubai, offering clients a strategic blend of local knowledge and international perspective.
This new integration with TDS API supports @Druce’s continued focus on innovation and service excellence, giving its teams a faster, simpler way to manage tenancy deposits within the systems they already use.
Quotes on the collaboration
Robert Swann, Chief Sales Officer at @Druce, commented:
“Deeper integration with TDS is crucial for @Druce, because it streamlines the management of tenant deposits through automating all parts of the journey: from registration, to updates, dispute resolution and releasing, all the while ensuring compliance with legal requirements. In practice this not only saves us huge amounts of time as a business, it allows us to provide the very best service to our landlords and tenants, reassuring both parties we are committed to doing everything necessary to protect deposit monies, quickly, efficiently, safely and transparently.”
Debbie Davies, Head of Sales and Client Success at TDS, added:
“Druce is a trusted name in property with a long-standing reputation for putting clients first. Their commitment to combining traditional service values with modern technology aligns perfectly with our mission at TDS. By embedding our API into their processes, Druce can now protect deposits more efficiently, offer greater transparency, and ensure full legal compliance, all without disrupting the high service standards their clients rely on. We’re proud to support Druce in raising the bar for tenancy deposit management.”
