Membership and Meetings Manager Non-Profit Organization Management ### "With great complexity comes great responsibility" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 November 26, 2024 Pros I work for an association/non-profit management company that uses Fonteva for several organizations. We have been able to manage the databases of up to 8 organizations under one business account. This allows us to exchange knowledge, ideas, and training among our sub-teams. I admire Fonteva's engaging user interface for the staff-side, since many association databases are rigid, outdated, and not user friendly. I admire the object-based interconnected nature of Fonteva, with all "objects" (ex. Contacts, Accounts, Items, Sales Orders, Payment Methods, etc.) connected to each other in some way which allows for more diverse and flexible use cases. Rather than filling out a rigid form linked on the annual conference page, for instance, a member can experience an engaging, customizable registration experience. You can create as many ticket types for an event as you would like, and create different registration forms connected to different ticket types. You can easily track all kinds of data. For example, if you want to figure out which payment method was used at what time for a purchase, you can click into the sales order, the related e-payment, the related payment method, and view the details of that data piece accordingly. The relational nature of this complex database allows for ample opportunity and an increasingly stronger, more engaging user-experience for your association's members. This object-based nature also allows for sufficient reporting. Some examples include, but of course aren't limited to the following: you can pull from fields of multiple objects to report on member companies who joined the association after January 2023 and are based in Florida, you can report on attendees with a particular certification who attended the last two annual conferences, members who are volunteering on committees, and whatever else you can think of. The possibilities are endless with this platform, and you can manage most aspects of your association with it (membership, events, e-store, online communities, etc.). Cons With ample possibility comes ample headache at times. Fonteva is so complex that it can lead to troubleshooting, glitches, and other problems that can become a nightmare for your staff and members. Having a dedicated IT/tech person on staff to manage Fonteva and serve as staff liaison is a MUST. We often run into several issues with flow (triggering a set of actions in the database, such as a purchase of a membership item activating a membership and sending a welcome email). We also run into unexplainable software glitches, such as the purchasing page on the front-end taking several minutes to load for members and attendees. While Fonteva's object-based nature allows for easy reporting, there are pre-set templates of the objects you can report on. For example, if you are using the "Accounts with Contacts" reporting template, you could only pull fields that are connected to those object types. You wouldn't be able to pull up, say, Attendee IDs, so you want to ensure your report template will allow you to report on the proper objects before getting in the weeds with building it out. For specific data requests, staff often needs to export different reports into Excel, and then use their own manual Excel skills to sort through data as needed, since Fonteva has limited report templates. It would be nice to be able to report on all kinds of data and eliminate manual labor in Excel.

Though it requires time and effort to master, the platform's flexibility and depth of features make it a great choice for associations looking to streamline operations and improve member engagement. Pros Fonteva for Associations is a highly adaptable solution for managing memberships, events, and financial transactions in one place. Its seamless integration with Salesforce allows for enhanced CRM capabilities, and the platform’s customizable features ensure that it can be tailored to meet the specific needs of any association. The reporting tools are robust, making it easy to generate insights and track membership trends. The event management functionality, including ticketing and registration, is a real game changer, especially for large conferences. Cons While the platform is powerful, it does come with a steep learning curve, especially for non-tech-savvy users. The initial setup and customization process can be time-consuming and may require dedicated support from the Fonteva team. Additionally, some of the advanced features feel a bit pricey compared to other solutions in the market.

It helps us provide better customer service. Pros We are already establishing a good amount of useful history in the new system that we can draw on. We're a lot more self-sufficient with reporting whereas previously we had to rely on outside sources for reports. Cons So far there has been no downside. We just went live in September 2021 so we're still building the system to our requirements. We're currently in phase 2. There could be more training in the creating of reports.

Director, Information Management Non-Profit Organization Management ### "My thoughts on Fonteva AMS" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 4.0 4.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 October 13, 2021 Pros The best thing about Fonteva is that it is on the Salesforce platform. Having the ability to configure the AMS with Salesforce has been a dream come true for us. In regards to Fonteva itself, I really like the flexibility it provides in solving business solutions as well as the amount of time saved with basic management of association management. My staff really loves Salesforce/Fonteva and that wasn't the case for our legacy platform. With staff buy-in, we're able to get a lot done now with our AMS. Cons Fonteva is not a platform you can learn overnight. Your staff must devote time to learn the structure before any sort of major configuration or custom work. More than likely, a 3rd party resource should be brought to help and assist with any sort of business objectives in order to configure the platform properly. Lastly, avoid custom code as much as possible because the more you learn about the tool, the higher likelihood you'll be able to configure a solution using out of the box tools with Salesforce.

They give you options like role-based data access where certain members can only see certain content so there is great personalization. Cons It allows a lot of customization with the member community site, but further customization for membership dues would be helpful.

Pros This is a generally easy system to learn and has a lot of functionality however we struggle with having to develop a lot of customizations because it doesn't have functionality that aligns nicely with our needs. This makes upgrades more difficult. Cons There is no ability to track membership retention. Emailing through the database is flawed as formatting gets screwy. We are exploring using more features and functions such as campaigns but at the surface level, its a little complicated to figure out.
