Why use CRM software for associations?

Our CRM for associations was developed specifically to meet your needs. Membri optimizes the business processes of associations that manage members, donations and events by centralizing your data and automating your tasks. Here are a few examples of the time and money you could save:

  • Savings through automation – Because renewals and invoices are sent and entries are made in the accounting system automatically, you cut the workload required to process a file each year by nearly 90%.
  • Savings in accounting – Because invoice and payment information is transferred automatically from one system to the other, your accountant no longer has to enter data twice to keep member information up to date.
  • Time saved when integrating with your website – All the tools required to integrate with your website are provided. Your webmaster will be able to integrate everything in very little time.
  • More registrations – The application also allows online registration for the Chamber's activities. This simplifies registration, helps you promote your activities more widely and increases your registration revenue.
  • Less manual processing – No more printing membership cards.
Can we migrate our existing data?

Yes. Data migration can include your contacts, companies and membership information. Billing and event history can also be considered according to your needs. The data to import and the validation work are defined in the project scope.

Which accounting software is the Membri membership management solution compatible with?

The accounting interface of our Membri membership management solution is compatible with the following accounting systems: AcombaX, Acomba classique, Avantage, Sage 50, Sage Accounting, Sage Online and QuickBooks Online.

The automated interface for transferring and creating accounts, invoices and payments integrates according to the capabilities available in your accounting system.

Is there an app to install on my smartphone?

Membri is a cloud application that runs on the Microsoft 365 platform. You can therefore access it from your computer, tablet or mobile phone, whether you are at the office, at home or on the road.

Can I add fields specific to my organization?

Membri was developed on the Microsoft 365 PowerApps platform, so it is very easy to add fields specific to your needs.

Can I send account statements to members with open invoices?

You can set up several automated account statement mailings to all accounts/contacts with open invoices from your Membri environment. You can even set the interval you want between the different statements.

Can we send bulk emails with Membri?

You can send bulk emails to your members with Membri. For associations that want to run email marketing campaigns or manage a newsletter, we suggest MailChimp or CyberImpact, both proven platforms, because we offer an interface to synchronize data between the two systems.

Can I customize my automated email templates with your CRM for associations?

Working with our team, you can schedule and send automated emails with text you have written, in your colours and with your logos. Our membership management solution opens up many possibilities.

Can I sell my event tickets with Membri?

Membri includes an integrated e-commerce platform that lets you sell your event tickets.

Our system offers a wide range of features to manage ticket prices, details and availability.

Does Membri's integrated ticketing let me schedule promotions?

The event creation module of our membership management solution lets you set up presale promotions (a discount for a set period before the event) and tiered pricing (the price varies with the quantity purchased).

With Membri, can I create tickets that are available only to some of my members?

Through the event module of our management system, you can specify which members or member categories have access to certain ticket types.

Can I limit the number of tickets for an event with your system?

Membri, our management solution for associations, lets you indicate how many people can take part in each of your activities. When a ticket is purchased, the number of places for each activity on the ticket is recalculated automatically, so you never have to worry about selling more tickets than there are places available.

Can I create several ticket types for my event?

Our management platform for associations lets you combine the activities you want on one ticket and create several ticket types at different prices.

Can I manage my sponsorships?

Membri offers a wide range of features to track sponsorships, from prospecting to allocation of funds. No more tracking them in an Excel file.

Can I schedule and manage solicitation campaigns with Membri?

Of course! Membri, our CRM for associations, and its solicitations and mandates module let you create a solicitation plan for annual partnerships, event partnerships, mandates and orders.

You can also share solicitations with the members of your team responsible for following up on them and, ultimately, winning them. Follow-ups can be done right in the solicitation. Won solicitations create entities of the same type, which you then only have to invoice directly from your Membri environment. In addition, you will soon be able to create solicitations for memberships and renewals.
