Otaki Waka Hoe Charitable Trust

Prior to Hello Club - Our Trust life was a nightmare, trying to update spreadsheets and docs - a range of executive members all maintained their own separate information and we spent a lot of time seeking details from one another. So we are a forever subscriber !!!!

What they liked
  • The accessibility, as you can log on anywhere on multiple devices, the opportunity for our Executive Trustees - Trust Chairperson, Trust Secretary, Financial Administrator, to update information instantly and the transparency if offers our individual participants as they can access their information and in need amend contact details as required
  • This software is very affordable where some I looked at, the prices for a voluntary organisation were unrealistic
  • The telephone and/or email contact and support from Liat in particular when we were newbies was fantastic, nothing was too much trouble
Room for improvement
  • I do not have any cons - the speed at which Hello Club updates the capacities of the software is phenomenal, so in the instances that I have enquired about something - the developers have made it a feature virtually the following week
  • Added to that the enhancements that they come out with are just making it a "not to be without" component of any organisation that needs to manage their people

Hello Club Review

Excellent from day one. We systematically recommend them to other clubs and venues in Victoria. As we grow we can rely on them to assist us in our journey

What they liked
  • As the largest squash club in Victoria we needed a simple efficient booking system with a back office analysis function
  • We worked with Hello Club to adapt a membership only process to a social club with no membership
  • Introduced 3 years ago we have had no issues integrating the system with our payment online process, adding new features that help us manage and develop our back office function
  • We have recently integrated our Fitness area and trainers who find the system more user friendly than their previous systems (Mindbody in many cases) and with comments such as " Its helping me discipline myself
  • " The process needed some modifications to meet our needs and we have always found Hello Club to react within an hour or two despite the time difference
Room for improvement
  • Not much
  • We are probably learning every day more of what would actually help us and we have a constant dialogue with Hello Club to see if it is feasible
Switched From

MINDBODY is, in our opinion, a legacy system which is not geared to our type of usage. It is "clunky" as my wife says and somewhat expensive.

Why they chose it

"Adaptability, flexibility, pricing and service."

Great Membership Software

Awesome except events need to be developed a lot more.

What they liked
  • Easy to use and implement
  • Tracks memberships well and easy to send emails and reminders and for members to sign up and change membership
Room for improvement
  • Events need developing
  • Only can do very simple events
  • Also need to develop styling text in emails ect
Switched From

Old system was old and no further developing was happening. Hard to track memberships and wasn't easy to sign up or renew.

Best value for money

It was amazing, HelloClub was easy to deploy, and it wasn't over complicated. The support service was excellent too.

What they liked

My favourite part is all the features you have, but above all of this was the customer support and flexibility from the beginning with regard to developing features

Room for improvement

We really required some kind of league management, but this will be rectified in your merger

Why they chose it

"Pricing point. We were a new club and needed something with most of the power and interface of Hivebrite but not the price tag."

Easy to Implement & Easy to Teach

As a small, growing, NFP theatre company with a large and fluctuating member base, we were looking for a more permanent solution to keep track of all our members and to reduce human error and to increase clarity for AGM procedure. Hello Club allowed us to move away from one person with an excel spreadsheet and into a solution that utilises the power of cloud computing to its fullest extent. We have loved using Hello Club and our members are enjoying the ability to take control of their own information. I am as yet unable to say how much this has improved year-to-year member retention.

What they liked
  • Hello Club contains all the features that we required to move our membership 'database' off an unsecured excel spreadsheet and to keep track of payments and membership expiry
  • The most helpful features have been Stripe integration, allowing our members to pay by card for the first time and the robust search function, which allows you to easily find members or groups of members who fit certain criteria
  • The user interface is incredibly intuitive which allowed me to easily train other administrators
Room for improvement
  • The thing we liked least about Hello Club was the pricing structure, however when I compared to other, similar programs, Hello Club was the best option
  • The company also made clear that they look at each case individually to ensure that the best deal is reached
  • They have recently released an 'Entry' tier in their pricing structure which is a perfect fit for us so this slight problem has been negated
Why they chose it

"The company is based in New Zealand which made communication easier although the biggest reason was their willingness to negotiate with a smaller company who doesn't have the resources or the need for a large scale membership management solution."

Hello Club Review

From an administration side mostly works well and members have adapted to it well.

What they liked
  • From a management perspective it assists the club management
  • The fact it is mobile friendly for members/administrators is a major plus
  • Overall with the web side it all works well and had no valid complaints except for the constant complaint highlighted below
Room for improvement
  • Kiosk screens - not as user friendly as it could be for members and casuals arriving at the club to register for their bookings
  • Members get confused with the bookings page for future bookings and the main page with all the courts listed for current time bookings
  • Casuals also a bit unsure when they are not tech savy - maybe when they book it sends them a clearer instruction of what to do on arrival etc
  • Another frustration is the check-in feature
  • If they turn up with another partner than the original booking they can't use this feature
  • We have quite a contingent of doubles players who book player and visitor until it is sorted who will play usually right up to playing - therefore cannot use this feature until they know who they are playing
  • On the managment side - when we send a notify by email from the finance - someone owing for an event etc - the email says new transaction and doesn't specify what it relates to - can it be a reminder or invoice with details relating to what they still owe
  • Perhaps if we had a proper app that people could save on their phone for ease of bookings etc
  • Would also like a quick way for non-members to register for some events without having to go through the whole Hello Club registration - shortened version of registration for an event so we can also collect payments from them easier
Switched From

Outdated and needed something more modern to suit our needs.

Why they chose it

"The features were more in line with what we required especially with pay to play options etc.Was also mobile friendly which was critical."

AWSC loves Hello Club

Hello, Club solved problems that we had and problems that we didn’t know we had. It is marvelous for enrolling, paying, booking, communicating with members and also has a very nice support team.

What they liked

Admin hours went from 15/wk to about 3/week because of all the things it does automatically or very quickly

Room for improvement

We need a bit more finesse in the booking aspect because of the nature of our business

Review of HelloClub on behalf of a Cricket, Squash & Padel Club (UK)

I love the system & where it is going!

What they liked
  • Its super user-friendly for both members & administrators
  • The support team were really helpful with setup / answering any questions
  • They are friendly & quick to respond
  • The switchover from our the Clubs old system to HelloClub was very easy to do & we had very little issues incurred by members of the club
  • The members find the booking & membership renewal is very simple, and the administrators find it easy to make amendments, set up events, keep track of everything etc
Room for improvement

Just that it was missing league functionality really but that gap is going to be plugged soon with the Friendly Manager merger so the Club is just waiting for that :-)

Switched From

ClubNet gave us notice they were shutting down their business.

Why they chose it

"Very user friendly for members & admins!Price was mid range.Had most functionality the Club needed except for administering leagues! However we heard that a merger with Friendly Manager was imminent which would plug this gap so we decided to adopt a long term approach & wait for the merger. We like the idea that the company is growing & investing in bigger & better things..."

Club management simpler with Hello Club

Exellent support and responsive to new feature requests.

What they liked
  • Member management, court bookings and event calendar all integrated makes it great
  • Reduces admin considerably by allowing members to self serve
  • Access control and lighting sytem integration is fantastic, work well for casual play when the facility office is closed by simply using a pin
Room for improvement
  • Minor usability issues with the kiosk for checking in to play
Switched From

Previous system old and no longer maintained.

Why they chose it

"Feature comparison better than others, usability is gteat, lighting automation and fully self service for members."

Bridge Club perspective

Very easy and flexible to work with. The HC team listen and provide quick support when needed. [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] have drawn on their own experiences of managing a club, which is very helpful

What they liked
  • Allows us to operate as a cashless organisation
  • Each time members play, they pay a small fee (table money)
  • It was time consuming collecting and banking the money
  • Now each member has an account and they keep that topped up and our scoring programme allows us to automatically debit the table money each time a member plays
  • The system is integrated with our Accounting package Xero We also use the electronic door locking system which is great
  • Those with legitimate access to the club have a tag to allow access
  • These can be disabled easily if lost or if the holder is no longer allowed access
  • Those hiring the rooms are given specific times and days they can use the tag
  • Beats keeping track of actual keys that seem to get handed around or lost
  • Keeps the insurance company happy too
  • The help options are very clear, although we have written several instructions that are very specific to our processes
Room for improvement
  • Little things really, eg would like to change the order of the columns in the Directory
  • I have found when we pass things onto the HC team, they take them on board and over time have introduced many new features
  • So whilst this is a con, I found the HC team are receptive to improvements and have taken our feedback seriously
Why they chose it

"We did not see any other product that could integrate with the Bridge Scoring system. In saying that, when we first set out looking at what was available, Hello Club did not have an integrated system either, but upon meeting with them, they were prepared to put the time and effort into it integration. This is why we chose them !"
