Upgrades and Enhancements

Aside from initial development costs, there are substantial recurring costs of maintaining and upgrading the software and web sites. The software-as-a-service model makes it easy for Eventsforce to regularly update with new functions and features. Clients benefit from on-going software upgrades — most of which come from client feedback — at no additional charge. All development takes place in-house, and our experienced team of software engineers work hard to keep Eventsforce at the forefront of event technology.

Email Marketing

Sending emails from corporate servers or a third-party ISP can be problematic due to technical issues including deliverability, third-party blacklists, filtering rate limiters, etc. There is a mine field of problems for systems not designed and maintained for e-marketing. Eventsforce email marketing technology ensures the highest delivery rates of personalised graphical or text-based email invitations. Our software allows users to schedule emails, automatically report on open rates and to create professionally branded invitations, announcements, and invoices.

Web Site Development

Hiring web developers to create and maintain custom event registration sites can be expensive. Fully integrating your event website with your back-end databases to enable reporting and eliminate repetitive data entry can be challenging, time consuming, and cost prohibitive. Eventsforce offers the ability for clients to design and customise new registration websites to their exact requirements or create a registration page to fit within an existing web page. The degree of customisation and brand integration is flexible.

E-commerce

Getting authorisation to take payments online can be complicated. You will need a dedicated hosting server, SSL certificate, technical integration with payment gateways, and payment processors. Both setup and maintenance can be expensive. Eventsforce handles technical aspects of payment processing and eliminates the long delays in configuration, setup, and associated costs. We offer integration with several online payment gateways for immediate online payment into your merchant account or invoicing capabilities for billing.

Hosting

Hosting a web-based system can incur considerable costs when implemented in a secure and reliable manner. In most cases, cheap web hosting solutions are not reliable or secure for e-commerce web sites. We employ a global industry leader (AWS) to host each system off-site to ensure the highest levels of data security and complete peace of mind. Because Eventsforce is web-based, clients can access their system at any time and from anywhere with an Internet connection — perfect for last minute checks and changes to details.

Integration

One of the most complicated issues with building a registration system is linking it to your databases and other back-office systems. It often requires multiple specialised developers to get successful integration. Eventsforce can integrate with any CRM, marketing, membership, and accounting systems, offering a cohesive approach that truly supports business objectives and enhances overall ROI. We can undertake any integration required quickly.

Customer Support

Getting the right help at the right time when launching and promoting events can be challenging. With in-house systems do you have the necessary documentation, training resources, and critical support you require? Eventsforce offers phone, email, and online chat support to assist with any technical issue or creative query. On-going personal and online training ensures clients at the forefront of technology releases and best practices.
