Club Member Management Financial Software

[emfc]

Our club is looking for an easy-to-use and easy-set-up member management and financial software that would help us in 1. scheduling classes and private lessons among 2 to 3 coaches, 2. track attendance, and 3. bill client credit cards on contract basis. Looking around we came across hundreds of software packages. What worked for you? I think this will be helpful to many other fencing club straggling with monthly billing and scheduling.
Thanks in advance for help!

Funny you should post this at the same time that JAnthony posted a question soliciting a data model for such a system. Are the questions related?

I wrote the Salle Management System that my club (Bucks County Academy of Fencing) uses. It does most of what you're asking about, but it doesn't currently do actual billing, though it produces account reports that can serve as the basis for billing. Adding the invoicing function is on my to-do list.

I've been planning to market this system at some point, but have been holding off until the invoicing feature and a couple of other functions are added. If you're interested, I could look into how much additional work might be involved in tailoring it for your needs. Send me a private message if you want to discuss it.

Goldgar,

Any chance you could model your billing export to be compatible with Quickbooks? I've looked at other web-based or web-integrated products, but the pricing model was subscription based and a little too pricey for us.

this thread is more than 2 years old. stop bumping ancient threads. you're clearly not a spam bot, but you are spamming the forum with your product. repeatedly doing this will be a problem.

Dave -

I'll have to find out what QuickBooks requires. I know that QuickBooks has an API, at least if you buy the enterprise version, but I'd rather go with a simple export to text, CSV, or Excel format if QB can import it.

If you're interested, I'll put some time in on it.

Goldgar,

The product itself (normal, not enterprise) has a good help system that explains importing. I'm a couple of versions behing (QB 2005 Premier), but their systems evolves, rather than being completely rewritten, as too many people develop systems that depend on consistency. If you have access to the product, do a help search on Importing, and look at mapping, which creates templates that tell QB what data is in each column and where it is going.

Oh, and I am not a club ower, so I do not have buying authority, but I do recommend, as I am both a coach and an IT professional in the data-integration field.
