Private, secure platform

Avoid the distractions of public social media platforms and keep your members focused on your community mission in a private, secure and discrete environment

Our recommended free platform was designed for business but maps perfectly onto community groups ( After all what is a business but a community with a shared mission to provide a product for a profit ?). Most of the premium features are designed for commercial entities, so you are unlikely to need anything beyond the free edition, and if you do there are discounts for charities and NFP's

In business speak, this free platform has a CRM, Website Builder ( hosted with SSL Cert), HR Organisation, task management, project management, workflows, a centralised knowledge bank and a comprehensive collaboration and communication suite. Accessed online, as a desktop application and via a mobile app. Optional 2-factor authentication offers corporate standard security and privacy.

Not sure if this is right for your community organisation ? Drop us a line on the feedback for below and we can talk in person.
