Jens Christian Bang

CEO of Already On

We're not worried, as we know that MindK always finds a solution.

We’ve been successfully cooperating with MindK since 2010. What we were impressed with about people at MindK during all years of partnership — they never give up. Software development is all about risks, problems and finding solutions for us and our clients. We’re not worried, as we know that MindK always finds a solution.

The challenge

Already On works with many Norwegian associations. They all have different requirements, organizational structures and require automation of member management processes. No out-of-the-box CRM can cover their needs perfectly.

The solution

Our client decided to build a flexible multi-tenant solution that can be customized to the needs of each individual association. It simplifies community management — from the first point of contact to invoicing, and post-event communication.

Direct dialogue with members

As a member registers/logs in the system, they can update their information, sign up for events, communicate with the organization via text messages, check product orders and invoices, etc.

An organization admin is immediately notified to approve the registration. All the data flows straight to the back-end system, where member management is done quickly and efficiently.

Easy-to-manage member records

Admins can quickly search and filter members, as well as edit multiple cards at the same time. This saves hours a day, providing all the relevant information in one place.

The system offers organization owners an easy way to use their hierarchical structures in the digital workspace. Members can be grouped by professional interest, local team, division, company or department, with nested user roles and rights.

A platform for online and offline events

Choo provides an easy way to engage community members into the organization events and activities. Members and customers always have an overview of available events and can sign up in a minute or less.

For each event, price options and registration forms can be customized. Targeted members are selected, invitations are designed and sent within the system. Registrations can be managed manually, or set for automatic confirmations. At any time, admins can update members with relevant information.

All the events managed in one place

Choo simplifies the work of arranging courses, conferences, meetings and activities for organisation owners. Each activity can be set with parameters to automate the processes for sign-ups, reminders and payments.

Automated workflows made it easy to start conversations and keep them going, whether an organisation has a handful of fans or thousands of them

More connection with less effort

With always-on automated emails and customised templates, admins can send the right message to the right people at the right moment—without doing the work every time.

Automations allow communities to decrease the member onboarding costs and see more sales, more conversions, more engagement, without more effort.

Streamlined finances

We made it possible to monitor all payments and transactions. The system updates payment statuses, sends reminders and credit memos, as well as collects the data into digestible reports.

We integrated the invoicing module with payment systems like PayPal, Vipps, and Stripe, Norwegian banks, and a Social Security Number database. This ensures effortless and secure payments. There are multiple distribution channels for invoices: Vipps Faktura, eFaktura, e-mail with PDF attachments, paper with print, and postage service.
