Overview

About Excellerate

Excellerate is a church management solution designed for midsize and large churches and ministries that offers attendance management, group management, visitor tracking and reporting functionalities within a suite. The solution can be deployed either on-premise or in the cloud. Excellerate enables users to perform member check-ins in three different ways - express mode, touch-screen mode or attendant mode. The express mode records attendance with the help of barcodes and key tags. The touch-screen mode allows members to look up their records on the tablet application and punch in their attendance, while the attendant mode allows volunteers and attendants to punch in attendance. Excellerate features membership management, which allows users to create member records using customizable fields. Based on information in the records, users can send targeted emails and mass messages based on attributes such as attendance and physical location. The volunteer management functionality of the solution allows users to schedule volunteers based on their availability, send email or text notification and access their assignments.

An Excellent Transition

Excellerate has always been very critical to us in stewarding over our donors' contributions.

What they liked
  • We have been with Excellerate for many years and recently integrated to ATOM in 2022
  • Although I'm usually hesitant when making big changes, the transition was very smooth and it wasn't very difficult to learn the new way of entering and tracking donations
  • I just completed the year end donor statements for 2022 and it was so quick
  • Tech support has always been very quick & reliable
Room for improvement

The only negative (which is a very small one) is that it takes a little longer and more use of the mouse to enter donation batches

Great Product complimented with Great Support

Being fairly new to the product, I have had an excellent experience modifying and adding the functionality my application requires.

What they liked
  • The flexibility in most all areas is very obvious as each entity using the Excellerate product has needs for customization to make it fit more closely to their needs and this product has that ability
  • Excellerate provides it - in spades
  • Any request for assistance in operating and customizing the product has been met with immediate and accurate responses
  • The single best feature is the ability to import membership data from other applications in record time but depends on properly exporting the source data in the format utilized by Excellerate
Room for improvement
  • There was not single except that a knowledge of the SQL language is very helpful

Visual FoxPro was end-of-lifed in 2012!

Why they chose it

"The myriad of modules that are, and might be, used over time as well as the more than adequate pricing along with the numerous possibilities for modifications, made the selection simple."

I would highly recommend Excellerate to any Church!

I would highly recommend Excellerate to any church no matter how large or how small. It's adaptability to meet the specific needs of your congregation is priceless.

What they liked
  • We have been using Excellerate for many years and it always accomplishes the task at hand
  • As we have grown to multiple campuses and made changes to better care for our congregation it has done so with us
  • Its adaptability to meet the specific needs of our church is simply amazing and appreciated
  • It helps us from A-Z, from scheduling our volunteers, organizing our small groups and classes, to handling our contributions and much more
Room for improvement

The only downside I can think of would be the fact that it is not accessible from home, however for the safety and privacy of our congregations records perhaps it is not a downside after all

Altho I use this only for posting weekly contributions, I absolutely love this product.

I spend much less time accounting for the weekly offering. AND I know it is accurate. Our church has an offering counting team so that when I (as the financial secretary) get the offering to post, I already have a balance to use for "check" purposes. Great product!!

What they liked
  • I am currently using only the Contributions tab and the features included in it
  • We are a small church that needed a better way to account for weekly offerings that was accurate & basically self-checking
  • Instead of the 20+ minutes spent in the past posting our weekly offering, I now spend all of 5 minutes posting
  • And I know everything has been posted accurately and to the correct accounts
  • Thanks for a great product and for your awesome customer service
Room for improvement
  • I haven't found anything yet that I dislike but I only use the contribution section
  • So far I haven't found anything that rates as "con

A great system that is easy to set-up and use with outstanding customer support.

Since we have installed the Excellerate system we have reduced the amount of time it takes to count and record our tithes and offerings from 8 - 10 hours to as little as 40 minutes. We continue to find new ways to take advantage of the flexibility and utility of the system. We recently automated our on-line giving to load directly into the Excellerate system saving even more time. The support has been excellent. The Excellerate team will do everything they can to ensure that your needs are met. I reviewed many systems before selecting Excellerate and without a doubt I made the right choice.

Excellerate is a great church database program

I would recommend Excellerate to anyone. Whether you have a church of 60 or 6000, you can use Excellerate.

What they liked
  • Excellerate has helped us out immensely as a church
  • We are able to keep track of attendance for class, connect groups, and people serving weekly
  • Pete and the team are always finding new ways to update the program and are always there to help you out
Room for improvement
  • I wish it was a web based program that you could access from anywhere
  • I know that if it is available Pete will do it
