We can schedule out $200/mo for the next 20 years if we want. So if we had 100 members, and 70 have $200/mo without any incidentals or other random charges, then we're only reviewing the remaining 30 plans to make sure they're properly invoiced/charged. And out of those 30, for 25 of them we would likely manually enter in $210, or @200.50 or something. The last 5 would be because they pay by check or cash, or by piles of jolly ranchers in our barter exchange program. (haha! of course we don't exchange in jolly ranchers, but wouldn't that be hilarious???)

This is ideal for plans that just pays, say, $200/mo. However, they system does not run whatever outstanding balance is on a client's account. We have to manually enter the amount we want to run on their card, say, 10 days later. This occurs for plans that not only have a simple $200/mo plan, but also has other incidentals charged to their account: lost key replacement, printing, etc. Jerome ______________ BLANKSPACES "work FOR yourself, not BY yourself" www.blankspaces.com<http://www.blankspaces.com/> 5405 Wilshire Blvd (2 blocks west of La Brea) Los Angeles, CA 90036 323.330.9505<tel:323.330.9505> (office) On May 16, 2013, at 12:32 PM, Alex Hillman <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Got it, thanks! The reason I ask is because so many of the community/group/club management systems I've evaluated in the past do monthly invoicing but don't auto-debit (or if they do, they're pretty terrible at everything else). It looks like some of the pay gateway options that CiviCRM supports allows for auto-debit, which is good news. We're at the tail end of a migration from our old billing system and it's one of those things that I wish we'd done a few years ago. Doing it at the scale of hundreds of members has been one of the most time consuming processes I've ever been through. Necessary, but ouch. -Alex -- /ah indyhall.org<http://indyhall.org/> coworking in philadelphia On Thu, May 16, 2013 at 3:15 PM, Devin <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: There's core support for about 20, including Google Checkout, PayPal and Authorize.net<http://authorize.net/>.

One day when I have a space... To quickly address your CiviCRM questions: one important feature is that it works inside a Wordpress site. It does membership management and automated billing, It doesn't do access tracking or resource reservations, but I think that's what this extension proposes doing. CiviCRM isn't a perfect solution for coworking space management right now but I come from the school of thinking that problems don't get solved until there's a free/libre/open-source solution - and I'd put my money on CiviCRM being that solution in the not too distant future.

Your design is really nice, and you seem to handle most of what's needed - I am very very curious to see how you app works! I didn't find the time to watch a demo in GCUC but I'd love to try it once it is fully functional - when will I be able to click buttons and play around :) ? Thanks for the mention to Cobot Brendan - it is great to see that someone is pointing to us even before I jump in the conversation. Lately I hear of a lot of new spaces using Cobot that learned about us through users comments in the discussion boards or that saw Cobot visiting other coworking spaces. Referrals prove us that we are on the right track and keep us moving. We send you coblove! As Adrian said, each space is managed in a very different way - it is hard to be a fit for all and that's why I see a reason for all of us to exist. Last year there were just three options: Nexudus, Nadine, and Cobot. I was looking for software for the coworking space that some friends were starting and fell in love with Cobot at first sight for the same reasons you mentioned - it is smooth and easy to use. I think the main reason behind this is that we run a space ourselves and don't overcomplicate things with additional features that end up being unused - That's why I joined the team, and why everyday I feel so happy and proud of being part of it and help so many spaces. Re CiviCRM, I am skeptic about generic CRM and ERP tools being adapted to coworking spaces management - after over 6 years working with workspace software and having tried many of these generic tools, I have lost my faith. Devin have you tried it yourself? What's the added value? I see in their list of features that they have an extensive contact profile and that they can also handle pledges, but they don't seem to handle membership plans, access tracking, resources reservations or automated billing - which are key to coworking software. Being a fit for all when you are a tool made for coworking is hard (we have to develop new features every week to fit the needs of new spaces using Cobot, and sometime we find that there's just no way to be a fit) so fitting the different coworking models when you're not even a tool made for coworking sound like a *very* hard thing. If they can make all this for the 4k$, I guess we will have to try yet another coworking management tool. Hey this was a long answer - we should all meet afk at some point, this is a hot topic!!
