Bring membership, websites, events, learning and community together around one member record. Built, hosted and supported in Australia since 2004.
Trusted by membership organisations including
The Agend Membership Platform brings CRM, website, portal, workflows and events together at the core, with learning, community, directory, jobs and quality management ready when you are. Every product reads and writes the same member record – no imports, no sync jobs, no middleware to babysit.
Every membership interaction lands on one profile. Renewals, payments and reporting stay connected to the person behind them.
Your website recognises the member who signs in. Personalised, gated content follows the same record your team already uses.
Run registration, pricing and check-in from the membership record. Attendance and revenue return to the same place afterwards.
Give members a clear place to renew, pay and manage their account. The routine admin moves out of your team's inbox.
Set the routine follow-up once, then let it run. Staff see the exceptions that need judgement, not the repetitive admin.
Deliver courses and record CPD as members complete it. Certificates and progress become part of their ongoing member history.
Give committees, branches and course cohorts a proper place to talk. Documents, decisions and discussion stay with the group.
Help prospective clients find the right member or business. Listings stay current because membership status keeps them current.
Create a useful careers destination for members and employers. Posting credits turn a member benefit into a revenue line.
“Website experience is central to our membership offering and engagement with our trustee clients – we needed a way to deliver greater value and information in a more simplified manner.”
“Agend lifted our corporate renewal rate by 93%, halved bookkeeping hours and gave our team 10-15 hours back every week. The renewal improvement alone justified the build.”
Agend is made by a small Australian team that has built for membership organisations for over twenty years – associations, professional bodies, institutes, clubs, communities and nonprofits.
We're the same people on every project: the team that migrates your data is the team that answers the phone afterwards. Your data lives in Australia, and it stays yours – fully exportable, always.
