With many sectors now represented by several competing membership organisations or trade associations, there’s a real need for industry bodies to differentiate from their rivals.

Research shows that members of trade associations join such bodies because of the good work they do in giving a voice to their respective profession in the various Parliaments of the UK and in the wider public sphere.

But one of the other reasons businesses sign up is the benefits offered, such as discounted services of products like insurance or legal advice.

For many trade associations these are a standard part of their offering and there is a never-ending search for that next added-value benefit.

Capewell Data Solutions’ simple and intuitive Finance & HR digital platform has been developed to help small businesses manage income and expenditure, invoicing and receipts as well as personnel records, including appraisals and holiday requests.

What’s more, Capewell Finance & HR can be “white-labelled”, affording trade associations an opportunity to market the product as their very own, making it a real stand-out member benefit.

Some of the fantastic functions offered by the platform include:

• creating paper and e-invoices and emailing them to clients and suppliers
• recording purchases and expenses, such as mileage and hospitality
• making reimbursements and monitoring petty cash expenditure.

Ultimately, Capewell Finance & HR offers trade association users a simple, no-nonsense tool to keep track of spending, make income forecasts and measure these against predicted expenditure. In short, it is a great way to ensure total control over your business anytime, anyplace, anywhere.

The platform will allow your members to devote more of their precious time to building their businesses and perhaps even getting involved with their trade association.

Additionally, whilst the platform is incredibly easy to use, Capewell Data Solutions’ team of experts is on hand to provide telephone support to your members in the event that they require assistance. This service can also be white-labelled.
