ParishSOFT meeting our Needs
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
ParishSOFT provides us the opportunity to use the system to maintain the level of contributions each family make. WE are also able to manage all of events both free and paid events. The system processes may different types of contribution methods, from bank draws to credit and debit charges.
Our major issue is that ParishSOFT does not allow us to utilize it for outside events in charging for various items. We end needing to utilize outside services for these payment types. This increases our costs both administrative and another third party vendor payment.
