Pros

• eMembership has truly been a game-changer for us, delivering a stable, secure, and fully supported system that continuously evolves with top-tier upgrades. One thing that truly sets them apart, however, is their exceptional support team-knowledgeable, proactive, and always ready to go the extra mile. Their commitment to excellence is evident not just in their product, but in the way they genuinely care about their clients. The team at eMembership is second to none. They are at the forefront of their industry, seamlessly blending cutting-edge technology with a warm, personable approach. Their responsiveness and dedication make every interaction a pleasure, reinforcing our confidence in the platform. One of the most impactful features for us has been the automated reminders and alerts. These ensure that no critical deadlines are missed, allowing us to focus on other priorities without worry. The efficiency and peace of mind this brings are simply invaluable. The membership portal itself is a powerhouse of automation, streamlining processes and eliminating tedious manual tasks. Members can log in, check the status of any grievances, update their personal information, and access everything they need-all in one place. This self-serve functionality drastically reduces administrative workload, making operations smoother and more efficient for everyone. Additionally, the portal acts as a gateway to the website, consolidating essential tools into a single, cohesive system. With the mobile app, especially in critical times like bargaining, we can instantly push notifications to our members. Whether it’s updates, strike notices, or urgent communications, eMembership ensures real-time access to vital information is an absolute necessity in today’s fast-paced world. Perhaps the most impressive aspect of eMembership is its unparalleled customization. Every organization has unique needs, and this platform adapts seamlessly to accommodate them. The flexibility it offers is simply unmatched. Having personally vetted nearly three dozen providers across the U.S. and Canada, I can confidently say that eMembership stands head and shoulders above the competition. It is, without question, the gold standard in its sector.
• Our units are quite diverse and Winmill built our database to handle each unit's unique and at times paradoxical requirements. There is enough flexibility built into the system to handle data sets we did not know we need until well after the database was built. My specific inputs (dues and fees collected by employers) are very easy to understand and can be taught to new people quickly.
• Working with WinMill was a pleasure. The team was efficient and pleasant, and eager to make sure we built the database into something useful for us.
• It is a customizable database that works with our website and phone app (also by WinMill) which keeps data current in both places.
• Working with our design and build team has been a phenomenal experience. We are very pleased with the knowledge and understanding that our support team has demonstrated. They have been extremely responsive and flexible to our unique needs.
• The entire staff is very professional. During our weekly meeting, the staff took their time to understand my ideas and worked hard to implement exactly what we were aiming for. I received followed up calls to ensure that the development process of our new program was going well.
• WinMill eMembership has helped us increase the accuracy of our data and dues collection process for or members and the contracts that we manage. This has increased our collection and overall efficiency of our membership team here at the Local. We at this point are only using a few of the eMembership modules (Membership, Reports, some Financials, & Grievances) but plan on moving forward with others. The Solution is: - Secure - Robust - Customizable - Great Project Management, Implementation, & Support Team They are always responsive to our and support issues and help design the right solution for our needs.
• Upgrading with Winmill from our prior office operating system, has truly made a difference in our day to day operations. Work flow has increased along with productive and efficient time management. The process from discovery through final production was great. Winmill’s team was exceptional!
• eMembership is a robust database with user-friendly data entry platform. It is the heart of our organization and keeps our member information safe with provides an excellent reporting tool to track all the data that we enter. I handle dues and membership reporting and our database is the main tool that I need to do my job accurately and efficiently. Our organization, IATSE Local 800 engaged WinMill software to create our database in 2011. This was not a small task due to a merger of 4 IATSE Locals with 4 separate databases which containing duplicate members to be merged into one database, for a total of about 2300 members at the time. Once the project was complete, we ran parallel databases to verify the integrity of the information. The technical experts were with us every step of the way, providing expert technical support and training, both on site and virtual. The support did not stop once we were up and running. For the past 10 years, the WinMill team provided innovations for optimal performance and has offered solutions for our organizations growth and fluid needs. The team is highly responsive and makes us feel like we are their only client. Some of the many things that I appreciate: • Robust database with user-friendly data entry platform. • Very secure encryption keeps our data safe. • Custom reporting templates allow streamlined reporting of our data • Customizable modules address our organization’s growing and specific needs. • Finance and Invoicing package provide easy data entry for invoices and receivables and accurate tracking of our membership dues accounts. • Highly responsive technical support with expert programmers. • Collaborative team who listens and provides creative and expert solutions to address our organization’s specific needs. • Personal service which makes us feel that we are their only client. I would highly recommend WinMill software and cannot imagine doing my job without our database and their expert team to support me.
• We liked the discovery process as well as the development and final functionality of the customized software. Great programmers along with a team that really got in tune with our needs. Understanding changes needed along the way and adjusting the software in preview sites before actual application has been beneficial as well.
