Pros

“Combines membership management, event registration, email marketing, website management, and payment processing in a single system.”
EA

Emely A.

Chapter Administrator

“While the built-in website tools are convenient, organizations looking for highly customized designs may find them less flexible than dedicated web platforms.”

“how it has a full suite of email marketing, website, event and member managment all in one.”

IT Services Manager

Pros

“No solution that we considered would have fit 100% of our needs, but Amilia ticks most of the boxes and their team has been willing to hear us out on new feature requests and other feedback.”

Manager of Enterprise Software

“SmartRec allows us to automatically charge families for monthly child care costs, have immediate enrollment for programs, and generally manage our registrations.”

Executive Director

Cons

“It’s not always user‑friendly. While support tickets are answered, the instructions for updating page content can be difficult, and numerous backend steps are required.”
KW

Kelly W.

Association Executive

“Some of the ways of finding and publishing pages is hard to figure out since we only use and update those pages annually.”
EC

Ed C.

Administrator

“The layout is not very modern, and it shows when we are trying to present a polished front end to members and the public.”
EH

Eshana H.

Administrator

Cons

“It is more of a facility problem that we have pools that switch from long course meters to short course yards.”

“SmartRec does not quite provide an easy system for this documentation.”
