sheepCRM is a relationship and membership management platform that supports membership, events, groups and teams, payments, member self-service and integrations with third-party systems. Its platform is designed to help organisations manage relationships between people, organisations and the different activities or services they interact with. (sheepCRM)
If you’re weighing up your options, here’s how VeryConnect approaches membership management. Our specialist membership management platform brings together CRM, events, communications, payments, member portals, websites and engagement insight, with configuration shaped around your organisation’s particular structures and processes.
Where requirements extend beyond standard configuration, VeryConnect also has an in-house development team that can build more specific functionality and integrations around what your organisation needs.

What VeryConnect offers
From detailed requirements to a working platform
Membership organisations can have highly specific ways of working.
You may need to manage different member and organisation relationships, multiple membership categories, committees, regional structures, applications and approvals, CPD, payment arrangements, events or detailed reporting requirements.
Before implementation begins, VeryConnect works with your team to understand these requirements and the processes behind them. This discovery and scoping work then shapes how the platform is configured, helping turn detailed requirements into a system that remains straightforward for your team to manage.
In-house development for more specific requirements
Sometimes configuration alone is not enough.
Your organisation may require particular workflows, functionality, integrations or ways of handling data that go beyond the standard platform setup.
VeryConnect combines a configurable core membership platform with an in-house development team. Where appropriate, more specific requirements can be scoped and developed alongside your wider membership system, giving organisations greater flexibility when their needs do not fit neatly into a standard configuration.
Connected information across your membership operation
VeryConnect brings together the different activities that surround each member or organisation.
CRM records, renewals, payments, events, communications, applications and portal activity can all sit within the same connected membership environment. This gives your team a clearer picture of each relationship without repeatedly bringing information together from separate systems.
Engagement tracking can also help teams understand how members are interacting with the organisation and identify where engagement may be declining before a member lapses.
Support from a team that understands your setup
Your requirements are unlikely to stay exactly the same after implementation.
Membership structures change, new services are introduced, reporting develops and new integrations or functionality may become necessary.
VeryConnect provides a named contact and ongoing support from a team specialising in membership organisations. Because the team has been involved in understanding and configuring your setup, support is grounded in how your organisation actually works.
Configuration changes and further development can also be supported as your requirements evolve.

How VeryConnect turns specific requirements into a platform that works
“VeryConnect has developed a custom solution for our industry association that completely covers our needs in the areas of membership management, member communications, and data management for our industry outreach.
Organizing our data and increasing its quality first felt like an impossible task but the amazing support we’ve received from the VeryConnect’s team made it possible. The result is a highly versatile, user-friendly, comprehensive browser-based application that our members and our entire team are already benefitting from. In the beginning, we had very specific requirements (a 25-page concept note!) and a very complex data structure.
VeryConnect not only managed to perceive all these requirements, they also delivered 100% on the promise to accommodate them.”
