The solution can be deployed either on-premise or in the cloud. Excellerate enables users to perform member check-ins in three different ways - express mode, touch-screen mode or attendant mode. The express mode records attendance with the help of barcodes and key tags. The touch-screen mode allows members to look up their records on the tablet application and punch in their attendance, while the attendant mode allows volunteers and attendants to punch in attendance. Excellerate features membership management, which allows users to create member records using customizable fields. Based on information in the records, users can send targeted emails and mass messages based on attributes such as attendance and physical location. The volunteer management functionality of the solution allows users to schedule volunteers based on their availability, send email or text notification and access their assignments. > > Verdict: Rated **4.9/5** by 18 users.

Although I'm usually hesitant when making big changes, the transition was very smooth and it wasn't very difficult to learn the new way of entering and tracking donations. I just completed the year end donor statements for 2022 and it was so quick\! Tech support has always been very quick \& reliable. > > **Cons**: The only negative (which is a very small one) is that it takes a little longer and more use of the mouse to enter donation batches. > > Excellerate has always been very critical to us in stewarding over our donors' contributions. ----- ### "I have used this in my current role." — 4.0/5 > **Jason** | *11 May 2018* > > **Pros**: This software is a really great data base. You can collect and organize data in an amazing way and communicate efficiently. > > **Cons**: There is so much that this software can do which will slow it down at times. I totally understand and it's worth the wait. ----- ### "Customer Support is Top Notch\!" — 5.0/5 > **Marty** | *1 December 2022* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ability to customize reports to our fit our needs. > > **Cons**: I honestly cannot think of anything I don't like about this software. > > The Customer Support people are so knowledgeable and quick to return/answer calls.

Excellerate provides it - in spades. Any request for assistance in operating and customizing the product has been met with immediate and accurate responses. The single best feature is the ability to import membership data from other applications in record time but depends on properly exporting the source data in the format utilized by Excellerate. > > **Cons**: There was not single except that a knowledge of the SQL language is very helpful. > > Being fairly new to the product, I have had an excellent experience modifying and adding the functionality my application requires. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/4273/excellerate?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/4273/excellerate) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
