Using parish management software can provide numerous advantages that facilitate and optimise the management of activities and resources within a parish. Here are 10 advantages that all parish priests and lay people who use Ecclesiared parish management software recognise:
1.- Protection and organisation of the parish archive: A parish management software allows you to centralise and organise all the relevant parish information, from parish archive records to event schedules, activities, finances… It protects your parish archives for life so that they are never lost.
2.- Access to the parish archive from anywhere: All users authorised by the parish priest can access the software whenever they need it from any device with internet access.
3.- Unlimited information management: Don’t worry about the capacity of your parishioners’ database. A good software will prevent you from having space problems.
4.- User management: Facilitate collaboration and active participation in community activities by creating as many users as you need to access the software. Assign each person different roles according to their competences in the parish.
5.- Task automation: Automate repetitive processes, such as sending reminders for events, important dates or contributions, which saves time and resources.
6.- Forget backups: Software such as Ecclesiared takes care of making backups every day of the year in all the thousands of parishes that use the famous tool.
7.- Event planning: It allows for the scheduling and organisation of parish events, such as masses, retreats, meetings and festivities, ensuring better coordination and attendance.
8.- Effective communication: It facilitates internal and external communication. The first, with the users who use the tool in the parish. The second, with the parishioners of the parish. Thanks to Ecclesiared, you can send messages, emails and notifications, keeping all of them informed about relevant news and events.
9.- Security and privacy: A good parish management software like Ecclesiared has security measures and data encryption to protect the confidential information of the parishioners and the parish.
10.- Saves time in the generation of reports: It allows the generation of detailed reports and statistics on various aspects of the parish, which saves a lot of time both for the parishioners who come to look for a document and for the parish priest who, until now, spent hours searching for and creating the document.
