  • 1.  Point of Sale and Constiuent

    Posted 06-03-2016 02:35 PM

    Hello, we currently operate an historic village with 29 homes dating back to 1849 along the eastern shore of Lake Michigan; we are poised to open a new $5 million dollar maritime museum in a renovated USCG station located in our community, but several miles distant from our current operation. We are satisfied with the Altru point-of-sale program we currently use and its ability to track memberships, donations, pledges, and inventory; however, we are highly dissatisfied with the system's inability to generate reminders, acknowledgments, and thank yous.  Moreover, we have a major need with whatever product we finally choose being able to accommodate our two separate museums. Can anyone recommend another system that will provide point-of-sale and constituent membership features that meet our needs?

    Hello Rick,

    I've worked with a few different systems and have evaluated many. Would you like to schedule a phone call to talk about the specifics of what you're looking for? I would be happy to share some resources comparing systems if that's helpful.
