Introduction

There is a lot of good software on the web that can be helpful to sailing clubs. Event booking, newsletters, access control, accounting, race results and more are all available at affordable prices. These applications not only make life easier for officers and staff but also provide a better experience for members.

Meanwhile, on your desktop or laptop, office suites such as Microsoft Office are there to do everyday tasks like calculating, reporting and letter writing.

What’s needed to merge all these components into a really useful club management system is a central library of member information. That way you get the best of all worlds and that’s where DutyMan comes in.

More than just duty management

To encourage members to do their duties DutyMan needs a list of club members. Out of the box DutyMan’s member list holds basic contact details but it can also be readily extended to include any additional information that a club wants to record. Qualifications, interests, membership categories, the choice is yours.

What’s more with DutyMan you can selectively extract some or all of your members’ details as a feed to either DutyMan’s own emailer or to an add-on app. So invitations to the summer ball or printed membership cards, to cite just two diverse examples, can flow freely to your members.

A Data Hub

DutyMan can be your secure member information library, the hub from which spokes radiate out to the add-on components of your choice. If your club already uses DutyMan then you have the system up, running and familiar to your membership. That means implementation effort is minimal.

The Bottom Line

There is no one-size-fits-all solution to sailing club management yet by building on DutyMan you can choose just those extras that meet your club’s needs. You have the freedom to select the best and most appropriate software on the market. The result – a cost effective, secure, reliable and adaptable membership system tailored to fit your club perfectly.
