“We’re a strange organization,” said Carole Steele, Vice President of Montreat Conference Center in North Carolina. “We’re a conference center with housing for overnight accommodations, and in the summertime, we have a day camp program that runs for nine weeks that significantly increases our population of people.”
And that’s where the unique nature of their software needs stood out. With large gatherings for their primary purpose, Montreat was using software for, well, conference centers – but for nine weeks out of every year, it wasn’t enough.
Montreat went looking for a new solution – and found it in CampBrain – for many reasons including:
- Their previous provider was limiting their capabilities. As a conference center with a seasonal summer camp, Montreat’s needs weren’t met by basic software’s out-of-the-box rosters.
- “Somewhere around 15 years ago, we decided that [software] wasn’t giving us all the functionality we really needed in terms of creating the best kind of roster we could. We found CampBrain, and we’ve been there ever since.” – Carol Steele, Vice President for Programs | Montreat Conference Center
- Automatic advantages within CampBrain’s system streamlined seasonal staffing and hiring processes that were previously tedious and manual with 100 applicants a season:
- “We’re much happier now that we have a more integrated system. CampBrain manages our communication with those folks going forward.” – Carol Steele, Vice President for Programs | Montreat Conference Center
- CampBrain’s modern features helped the nonprofit keep up with for-profit expectations in a world full of increasing amenities.” – Carol Steele, Vice President for Programs | Montreat Conference Center
