Mais oui! And I’ll get there in a minute.

I recently heard a news story that Generation X struggles the most with debt. This sandwich generation started out in the workforce during the Dot-Com bubble-and-burst and then faced the Great Recession. They are caring for parents who are living longer and have children living at home longer. The personal finance experts being interviewed recommended scheduling automatic payments where possible to help with maintaining a budget and consistent cash flow (and avoid late fees). 

Renewing members can be arduous. Email follow ups, reminder calls, invoice mailings, and more. It takes time and resources to retain your members year over year. Auto-paid renewals can help streamline the process and generate more reliable recurring revenue and membership.

Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA) selected Gravitate Solutions to design, optimize and implement the netFORUM association management system, which began being used by staff in the winter. The powerful platform designed by Gravitate represents a new day for ICBA staff.

Baseline netFORUM allows you to configure a wide range of prices for your customers. While the most common price division is between members and non-members, it is completely possible to introduce a much deeper complexity to your products. For example, complex pricing is especially useful when working with event registrations. Early bird prices, exhibitor discounts, committee registrations, and certification tracks are all common scenarios.

As a general rule, every action that netFORUM records involves a product. Buying a product represents the key transaction for nearly everything netFORUM does. Membership, event registrations, shipping, sales tax, discounts, certification program enrollments, fundraising gifts, sponsorships, cancellation fees, etc., all work with products.

As your netFORUM instance ages and sites get copied and restored, it can be difficult to keep track of how old your database is. Knowing the approximate age of your database can be critical information to know when testing issues, working through complex processes that require up-to-date member data, or researching the history of a particular transaction.

When working with event registrations, baseline netFORUM gives us multiple ways of viewing the associated financial details.
