WildApricot is part of the Personify family of products. It is a cloud-based membership management software that brings together member and contact management, events, email communications, online payments, website building, ecommerce, mobile apps and integrations (WildApricot).
If you’re weighing up your options, here’s how VeryConnect approaches implementation, configuration and connected member management. Our specialist membership management platform brings together CRM, events, communications, payments, member portals, websites and engagement insight. Implementation starts with understanding how your organisation works, with ongoing support as your requirements develop.
What VeryConnect offers
A scoped, support-led setup
Before implementation starts, VeryConnect works with your team to understand your member types, payment rules, application routes, renewal cycles, event processes, website requirements, email workflows, integrations and reporting needs.
This discovery and scoping work shapes how the platform is configured and gives your team support through data migration, setup, training and launch. You do not need an internal technical team to implement or manage the platform.
Configuration around complex membership processes
Membership organisations do not always fit a standard structure. You may need to manage individual and organisational members, multiple membership categories, committees, regional groups, applications and approvals, CPD, lapsed members, event bookings, subscription rules, group-level access and finance reporting.
VeryConnect can be configured around these processes and around the terminology your organisation already uses. CRM, payments, events, communications and member-facing areas are connected while reflecting the structure of your membership.
Engagement insight across the member journey
VeryConnect brings member activity together across CRM records, emails, events, payments and portal activity.
This gives your team a clearer view of how members are engaging with your organisation, including who is consistently active, who may be becoming less engaged and where retention risk may be developing before a membership lapses.
Rather than looking at individual activities in isolation, teams can use connected engagement data to inform communications, retention activity and reporting.
Support as your organisation develops
Membership processes rarely stay exactly the same after a new platform launches. Reporting requirements change, new staff join, membership categories develop and organisations introduce new events, services and integrations.
VeryConnect provides ongoing support from a team that specialises in membership organisations. Your team has a named contact and access to support as your requirements develop, with additional configuration and development available where needed.

How VeryConnect supports complex membership projects
“Throughout our lengthy commissioning process, VeryConnect remained engaged, thorough and responsive to all our queries and follow-ups. This was one of the key reasons they were ultimately successful. From platform design and implementation through to ongoing support, the VeryConnect team has always been easily accessible and provided excellent customer service. They take ownership whenever we get in touch, respond promptly and see issues through to resolution.
Membership management is now automated and accurate, with simple and efficient payment processing for our members. The system just works – reliably and seamlessly.”
