This is what we are going to make this year
The Socie roadmap for 2025 is full of great developments. We are already communicating two major developments:
– The tasks and help requests module
Soon we will launch the Socie volunteer module. The module where you can help each other, do tasks and various chores.
We believe in the power of connection. We are going to support that! Helping each other or helping others will soon become a lot more accessible.
– Socie Web
Using Socie with your PC or laptop? That will soon be possible. We have now started work on Socie Web. The online extension of the Socie platform.
Soon you and your members will also be able to use Socie through the browser. We are launching Socie web step by step and will realize a completely new user experience. Even more convenience, simplicity for community administrators and community members.
On to 2025! Did we mention that we are very much looking forward to it!

Team Socie
