Exclusive modules and functionalities with Socie Plus.

Exclusive Socie Plus modules:

Socie Plus not only gives you unlimited access to all the modules you’re used to from Socie Start, but also offers you 10 additional modules. This allows you to tailor the app even better to the needs of your community.

Interactive groups

Socie Start’s groups module allows community managers to target a specific part of the community. Socie Plus builds on that by allowing each member of a group to post updates, photos, videos and documents within their own group – if you want. Community members can also comment on and respond to each other’s posts. To keep the groups organized, each group can have one or more group administrators who can manage the group directly from the app. What better way to bring a community together than to have everyone actively participating instead of just reading silently?

Share documents

With Socie Plus, you can share all kinds of different files – whether it’s the schedule for the next week, sheet music for the next band rehearsal or important information about your community. Anything is possible. You no longer have to send (and forget to attach) documents via email!

Library

Not only can you share photos, videos, documents and podcasts with Socie Plus, you can also organize them in the library. Create different categories and files and keep all the media in the app organized. That way, every member can find what they need – and you don’t have to keep sending emails with the same documents.

Locations

Are there sights that your community just has to know about? Pin them to the map! That way every member knows where to find your sports club’s tennis courts, the community center or your company’s stores. You can also put all your members on the map and show who lives nearby.

Birthdays

The birthday module shows all community members whose birthday is coming up soon. With Socie Plus, you can congratulate them directly through the app. This way you never miss a birthday again! Who doesn’t want happy birthday wishes?

Share your moment

Sharing your moment allows the entire community to share updates, photos and videos of what they are doing at that moment. Let your community share what’s on their mind and let the rest of the community join in, comment and offer advice. If you’re looking for a dedicated space in the app to facilitate tire sharing, the “share your moment” module is for you.

Crowdfunding

Create a crowdfunding initiative and allow community members and external donors to easily make donations through the app. Of course, you can also link a web page to your cause. Whether you want to raise donations for a cause close to your heart or help fund the neighborhood festival, it’s all possible. You can even use the crowdfunding module as a digital fundraiser for your church.

Sponsors and advertisements

This module allows you to display sponsors’ names or link ads directly to the app. You can choose how many sponsors and ads to display and where to display them. So you can show a different sponsor on each side of the app. Convenient for you and your sponsors. And you earn some money for your community – who says no to additional funds?

Polls

Have you ever wondered what the members of your community really think about the new project you are starting or want their input on the location of the next community event? Ask them in a poll! You can add a time frame when the poll will take place and send reminders to members who haven’t voted yet. Of course, voting can be done anonymously, so everyone can vote for what they really want. Let everyone have a say without a big argument. The majority decides.

Guest access

Do you have potential members, future employees or prospective members of your networking club who want to join your community but aren’t sure yet? Give them limited access to the app to show them what your community has to offer! Guests can only see the modules you show them, cannot respond to content posted by your members, and can never see your members’ personal information. This way, they can see what they can gain by joining your community and your community is always protected.

Exclusive features and capabilities of Socie Plus:

In addition to exclusive modules, Socie Plus also offers you additional settings for the different modules. The customization possibilities are endless!

Here are some of the additional features Socie Plus offers you:

Allow members to respond and comment on posts

While Socie Start allows you as a community manager to communicate updates top-down to the group, Socie Plus allows each community member to respond to posts, photos and other updates. What better way to strengthen a sense of belonging than by giving everyone a chance to participate?

Unlimited number of community managers

No one wants to build and maintain a community all by themselves. With Socie Plus, you can add an unlimited number of community managers. Now you can divide up the work and everyone can contribute with what they’re good at. Maybe you want to be in charge of planning events, someone else will create new content and a third person will make sure complaints and feedback are handled appropriately?

Determine who may post photos and other media

While Socie Start allows the community manager to add photos and other media, Socie Plus will allow anyone to post. If that’s what you want. Maybe you want only specific groups to be able to post photos and documents? That’s also possible.

Determine who can create events

If you don’t want to be in charge of planning each event, but want to stimulate your community members’ creativity and encourage them to connect on their own, Socie Plus’ feature of letting each member create events is perfect for you.

Limit the groups that can go to an event

Are you planning an event that is relevant to part of your community, but not to everyone? No probleem! To avoid confusion, you can make the event accessible only to specific groups.

Adding documents and links to an event

Is there relevant information you would like to share in connection with an event? For example, a brochure, a registration form or a link to a resource? With Socie Plus, you can easily gather all the information about your event in one place. Coming to an event well prepared has never been easier!

Posting something in the name of a group

Is there an announcement a group needs to make to everyone in the community? Instead of having to notify the community manager of the announcement and ask him to post an update, Socie Plus allows groups to post a message on their own behalf. That way, everyone is up to date in no time.

More detailed statistics

While Socie Start gives you some insight into how your app is being used, Socie Plus will give you many more insights. With additional statistics about your community, you can analyze your community’s needs better than ever before. Giving your community what they want and bringing them even closer together has never been easier.

Send push notifications to groups

Do you have an important message that no one should miss? But it is not really relevant to everyone in your community, only to specific groups? With Socie Plus, you can send push messages to specific groups. This ensures that everyone who needs to be informed is informed. At the same time, the urgency of a push notification is not diminished by members receiving a notification about something urgent that is ultimately not meant for them.

Not 1 but 5 Gigabytes of storage

Another advantage of Socie Plus is the additional storage capacity. While you can place 1 GB with Socie Start, you can place 5 GB with Socie Plus. That’s five times more fun!
