Productivity

Coordinating these systems together boosts operational efficiency.

How it works

Orchestrating WordPress plugins into one platform

The platform builds on WordPress's large plugin ecosystem to power memberships, communities, educational programs and courses, form submissions, workflows, ecommerce, email marketing and credentialing. We connect and coordinate these systems so members get a personalized, all-in-one experience, and the association can run a wide variety of programs.

The platform coordinates plugins to collect form data, process payments, track course completion and exams, manage groups, generate dynamic data displays, produce member directories, and much more.

Streamlined programs

More than membership: run your programs

Build and run memberships, awards, grants, scholarships, fellowships, certifications, committees and more, with:

Data integrity. Every data record is traceable, editable and automated.

Workflow. Staff workflows with review steps, feedback loops, approvals and notifications.

Personalization. Guide members through each program's steps from a personalized dashboard.

Component capabilities

What the platform includes

AMS integration, or WordPress as your AMS

Sync authoritative data from your AMS, or, if a full AMS is overkill, run memberships, auto-renewals, renewal emails and reports directly in WordPress with all data managed centrally.

Member dashboards

A personalized self-service starting point for renewal reminders, ID cards, course recommendations, and timely messages or advertising.

Membership directories

Filterable directories that join membership status with profiles. Members control what's visible and can connect with each other, plus listings for mentoring or certified members.

User profiles

Custom profile fields and taxonomies, webcam photo capture, and reminders that prompt members to keep their profiles current.

Membership renewal journey

A real retention strategy: profile data in your email marketing, audience segmentation, and dynamic content and rules for each renewal situation.

Programs with workflows

Awards, grants, scholarships, committees and more, broken into configurable steps that staff manage through workflow inboxes.

Certifications & credentialing

Fees, applications, approvals, exams, surveys, renewals, ID cards and automated data sharing, all on your website and without manual processing.

SSO integration

One industry-standard login for the website and connected platforms, with optional multi-factor and social login. It reduces support costs and centralizes control.

Ecommerce with member discounts

Standard and member-only pricing by product or category, based on membership type and level, including bulk discounts.

Communities

Notifications, private messaging, discussions and groups. We can integrate an existing platform like Higher Logic or migrate it to BuddyBoss.

Learning

A filterable course catalog, connected to purchasing, with credits, credit types, certificates and transcripts, using a third-party LMS or LearnDash.

Content access control

A content taxonomy with access rules by membership or activity type, personalizing each member's experience to their career path.
