Who it's for

Member platforms for trade and industry networks.

Networks of independent companies, often in many countries, whose members join to find and work with each other. The directory is the product, and the platform is built around it.

What these associations run on today

A directory that cannot keep up.

  • A directory that cannot keep up

    Members in forty countries, firms joining and leaving, and a directory plugin updated from an export. Members email head office for introductions instead.

  • Requests that vanish

    One member asks another for a quote by email. Nobody knows whether it was answered, and the network cannot show the value it creates.

  • Renewals in a dozen currencies

    Multi-office members, regional dues, invoices in a separate system, and a finance person reconciling by hand.

What the platform does

Built around the directory.

  • A member finds a partner in another country

    Search by service, country and chapter, a listing that says enough to decide, and a request sent from the listing with a reply-by time.

  • Requests with a record

    Every member-to-member request is on both records, so the network can show how much business it enables and members can trust it.

  • Regional chapters inside the system

    Each region with its own page, events and member list, drawn live from the same record. Chairs get a role, not another website.

For the board

The business the network creates, on the record.

Every member-to-member request is on both records, so the network can show how much work it puts in its members’ way, and members can trust that a request gets an answer.

Sample data for Northbridge Alliance, a fictional association. Any resemblance to real organizations is coincidental.

What the board asks

What network boards ask first.

Yes. An organization is the member; people belong to it with roles. Renewals go to the organization, requests and messages go to people, and the directory shows each firm's locations.
