For associations, societies and certification bodies
A member community where taking part counts toward recertification, and where you can see which members are drifting months before their renewal notice goes out.

How far along is everyone on pay transparency readiness?
We are six months into our readiness work and would like to hear how others are approaching job evaluation and pay-gap analysis.

Three years into a global levelling rollout — what I would do differently
The lessons nobody tells you at the start: stakeholder alignment, change management, and why the first draft of the framework is never the one you ship.
Credit for taking part. Accepted answers, shared resources and attended events count toward the credentials members hold.
Renewal risk, early. Who is drifting, why, and what to do — months before your membership system notices.
Connected to your AMS. Member records stay in step with the system you already run, and signals flow back to your CRM.
Why this, and not a general community tool
A community is usually sold on engagement — posts, logins, a busy front page. Your board renews it on something else: whether members stay, and whether the credential they hold keeps its value. A general platform measures the first and knows nothing about the second.
This one models both. Your members already have to earn credit to keep their credentials, so the community lets them earn it by doing the thing it exists for — answering each other, sharing what they built, turning up. And because it can see who has stopped taking part, it tells your membership team who to call while there is still time to change the outcome.
Engagement becomes something a member wants rather than something you have to chase.
What it does differently
Credit attaches to contributions that are judged, not merely frequent — an answer the asker accepted, a resource shared — and each rule is capped per cycle, so it cannot be farmed. Every member sees their own progress against their own cycle.
7.5 of 12 credits
4.5 more from community participation this cycle.
How to earn
Your membership system knows when a membership expires. It has no idea the member stopped turning up five months earlier. This ranks members by how their engagement has changed, gives the reason for each, and suggests one thing worth doing.
The most useful signal is one nobody else can produce: a member short of credit with a cycle closing is both likely to lapse and glad to hear from you.

Webinars, chapter meet-ups and courses with registration, capacity and a waitlist that fills in the order people joined. Reminders go out the day before, and recording attendance awards the event's credit to every credential each attendee holds — on attendance, never on registration.
A members-only event stays visible to members whose tier does not include it, with a way to upgrade. That is your clearest upgrade prompt, and it is usually hidden.

Everything a community needs
Everything below works today. The integrations further down are where we connect it to the systems you already run.
Integrations
A community is only useful next to your member record. We connect the platform to your association management system, CRM and sign-in as part of implementation — built against your own instance and tested on your data, not a generic connector you configure yourself.
Included todayBuilt for you during implementation
Member records, dues status, membership tier and credentials, kept in step with your AMS so nobody maintains two member databases by hand.
Engagement and renewal-risk signals written back to the contact and the account, so your membership team sees who is drifting inside the tool they already work in.
Members sign in with the account they already have. No second password, and access ends when their membership does.
Credit earned in the community reported alongside credit from courses, so a member sees one recertification total rather than two.
Joining links issued on registration, and attendance read back so credit is awarded without anyone transcribing a list.
Reminders and digests through your own sending domain, and the data out in the shape your analysts already use.
Running something not listed? We are an engineering firm, and an integration is scoped on the first call like everything else. Product names belong to their owners and are used here only to say what we connect to.
Moving from another platform
Coming from Higher Logic, Hivebrite, Circle or an older forum, we move discussions, members, files and permissions across. The first migration is never the last one, so we run it against your data as many times as it takes before anyone switches over.
Why a rehearsal can run twice
Every migrated record keeps the identifier it had in your old system. A second run updates what the first one wrote instead of creating a duplicate, so a rehearsal on Tuesday and the real cutover on Friday land in exactly the same place — and old links still resolve.
Data and access
How it gets delivered
We map your spaces, member types and credentials, and agree which systems it connects to.
Sign-in and your AMS first, because every other feature depends on knowing who a member is.
Discussions, members, files and permissions, rehearsed against your data as many times as it takes before cutover.
Branded as your association, spaces set up, moderators trained — and the renewal-risk view live from the first week.
It pairs naturally with our AI assistant for associations: the discussions your members write here are exactly the knowledge an assistant needs to answer the next member who asks.
Questions
It covers the same ground — discussions, a member directory, a resource library, events and digests — and adds two things a general community platform does not model: recertification credit earned from participation, and a renewal-risk view built from engagement. We migrate your existing community across as part of the move.
Yes, and your association decides what counts. Credit is attached to contributions that are judged rather than merely frequent — an answer the asker accepted, a resource shared — and capped per cycle so it cannot be farmed. Attending an event awards the credit set for that event, recorded on attendance rather than registration. Each member sees their own progress against their own cycle.
We connect it to your association management system and CRM during implementation, built and tested against your own instance. That includes iMIS, Fonteva, Nimble AMS, Impexium, YourMembership, Salesforce and Microsoft Dynamics 365. Member records stay in step with your AMS, and engagement and renewal-risk signals are written back to your CRM.
Yes. Sign-in is connected to your identity provider during implementation — Microsoft Entra ID, Okta, Google Workspace, or any SAML 2.0 or OpenID Connect provider — so members have no second password and lose access when their membership ends.
It is scored from engagement — how recently a member took part in any way, whether they are short of credit with a cycle closing, whether they have attended or connected with anyone — and every member carries the reasons that produced their score. The scoring is deliberately explainable rather than a black-box model, because your team has to be able to say why a member was flagged before they contact them.
Yes. Your name, logo, accent colour and typeface run throughout, and members see your association rather than ours.
You do. Everything can be exported, and the platform can be deployed into your own Azure or AWS tenancy rather than hosted by us.
