The foundation of our software is a powerful database called a CRM or Contact Relationship Management system. This allows you to track all contacts in your organization: people, households, and organizations and all of the relationships between them.
Easily catorize people in multiple ways, including "Smart Groups" which are dynamic groupings of contacts. Some examples: Everyone over 50 who is also retired. Everyone who has volunteered in the last 6 months and also donated more than $500.
There are powerful search and reporting tools, where you can build your own custom searches/reports as well.
Actionable Information
All seraches are actionable, meaning they can be used to trigger a mass mailing, showing the results on a map, scheduling an activity, or registering them for a program or event, or many other actions.
For example: Pull up all the children in the 7th and 8th grades, then register them as volunteers for a carnival.
Or pull up anyone who has volunteered in the last 6 months, and send a special invitation to a volunteer recognition dinner.
Easy to import or export information to Excel
Exporting any information from a report is just one click! Exporting from any search results, including any field in the system is just 2 clicks away.
Powerful tracking and assignment tools for interactions
You can record the details of any interaction as a type of Activity, where you customize the types of activities used by your organization. This allows you to see at a glance the last time someone was called, or invovled in a metting. You can also assign activities to others, and the system will notify them of the assignment, including date and time.
Define Custom Fields
You can create custom fields for back-office use only, or for use when you design fill-out forms for other people to fill out. Its like having the flexibility of a personal database tool like Access, compined with the power of an enterprise-class database. These fields are treated as first-class: You can use them the same way you you any predefined fields: such as using them in a mail-merge, within a report, or on a fill-out form.
