shulcloud and other shul management systems: experiences & recommendations

[yuneeq]

From the posts here it looks like it would be beneficial to make it scalable so smaller places can get more of a bare bones system for cheaper and pay for more features

Or it can be more robust and price scales with amount of members or something similar

Has no one made a Salesforce app for shuls?

It's either good or cheap

I assume you meant"neither".
Isn't general Salesforce license for non profit free?

If you’re making the app then it isn’t free?

There are a lot of things Salesforce does great, but a lot of customizing and shoehorning that would be easier if you start from scratch. Also, quality Salesforce development work isn’t cheap, and you need a developer who really understands the concepts (or someone who knows Salesforce development well and understands the concepts to write the spec).

ETA: it isn’t necessarily free, and depending on what’s needed might be cost-prohibitive for small Shuls https://www.salesforce.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/ngo-pricing-guide-spring-release-04-06-22.pdf

Have you seen this? https://github.com/ShomreiTorah

Is this usable in its current state to the end user?

I'm thinking that notion can do the job

Anyone done anything based on civicrm?

[ShverSupportsMitMiles]

There already exists something built on salesforce https://congregationconnect.com/, I think they were bought out by Shulcloud...

https://www.chabadsuite.com/ is also built on something...

I'm hoping shulspace or banquest will have a normal product soon

It runs on civicrm, but I believe it is more geared to shluchim and fundraising, not as much a shul
