Association managementMember management

Manage memberships and organization contacts

Online applications, membership periods and supporting documents are linked to people, companies and institutes. Your association office keeps track of everything, while members access their available processes in the portal.

Membership types

Membership types based on your fee schedule

Online applications

Membership offers are made available online. Applications collect the person or organization, contact details and invoice recipient information to create the membership.

Types and fee groups

Regular members, students, retirees, honorary members and institutional members receive the appropriate types, terms and fees.

Membership period and cancellation

Joining, leaving and cancellation dates remain separately traceable. Renewal intervals, automatic renewal and changes to another membership type can be configured.

Supporting documents and special status

Supporting documents can be uploaded and checked. Time-limited statuses have an expiry date; configured reminders request updated documents in good time.

Institutional memberships

Connect companies, institutes and their employees

Organizations are managed with locations, departments, contacts and affiliated people. Individual and institutional memberships remain distinct.

You grant permission to share membership benefits for specific parts of the organization and specific affiliations. This permission can be withdrawn. Eligibility depends on a valid membership and a current affiliation recorded with its dates.

Membership benefits

Apply member terms when booking

For conferences, seminars and other configured booking offers, eligibility rules can check individual memberships or benefits shared through an organization. This makes the appropriate member offers available.

The association office can trace which membership provides the entitlement. During setup, we define which benefits may be shared, how affiliations are confirmed and when permission ends.

Portal and administration

Members update their own details

Personal access

The member portal brings together a member's own memberships and available documents. Contact details, invoices and supporting documents are accessible through the account functions enabled for them.

Association office

Search, filters and exports help manage larger membership bases. People, organizations, memberships and correspondence are linked.

Track changes

The CRM change history records relevant changes to memberships, roles and master data. Roles and permissions determine who can view and edit the data.
