Tired of nametags that are UNREADABLE?
Need to register attendance?

Our NameBadger software prints out one sticky nametag on-demand in BIG LETTERS, and registers the person’s attendance. Designed for un-attended walk-up use in Sunday School, Fellowship, Meetings, Small Groups. …And it costs a fraction of what other industrial strength nametag programs cost.

Tips on Picking Church Membership and Accounting software…

1. Most churches utilize only a fraction of a program’s capabilities, but some features are nice to grow into.  Consider software that offers you expansion modules.

2. Price should not be your biggest concern. Rather, ease of use, support, and the long-term stability of the company are paramount  concerns. Don’t be penny wise, pound foolish.

3. Make sure the company you’re dealing with offers excellent  technical support and easy to read manuals. Look for web-based  support and help.

4. How long has the company been in business? Will this company be in business three years from now when  I need a newer version?  Is this piece of software a sideline or main flagship for the company? Do they really understand church accounting needs? …or have they simply repurposed business software?

5. Look at their version release schedule. Do they continue to improve the program? Is the current version they are selling up-to-date?

6. Make sure the company offers training …and then get it.  Too often churches buy a new computer and new software package  only to run out of money and never get proper training.

7. Make sure the people in your church who selecting your software know what  they are doing. The church’s accounting software decision is  no place for armchair techies and amateur bookkeepers.

8. Use an ONLINE SERVICE for your membership and accounting software. Most newer membership and accounting programs offer this option, and it has two huge advantages: (1) You and your designated members can access it anytime from any computer. (2) Online data is instantly backed up.
