Our monthly newsletter is delivered directly to the inbox of all of Membee’s thousands of users. It is a fast paced synopsis of updates, enhancements, new organizations joining the “hive” and typically, a featured organization that is using an aspect of Membee to a high level. Users are encouraged to and frequently do, submit stories of how their organization is using Membee in a great way. We love these stories almost as much as nectar not only for their informational value but also because they demonstrate in real terms how we all work together. Here’s a sample.
Bees are usually afraid of creatures that ‘tweet’ however, in this case, the bee loves twitter – in fact, we have two twitter feeds to keep you up to date.

It’s like having a Membee expert sitting bee-side you! The built-in chat feature is accessed through the Help link at the top of every Membee page so you can quickly bounce a quick question off an available Membee customer service team member. When the chat concludes, Membee’s Help Desk automatically sends you a copy of the conversation in an email and stores a copy of the chat in the Help Desk for your future reference. If no chat agent is available, Membee automatically provides you with the option to submit a support request so we can follow up with you.
Sometimes, the question you have may be a little more involved, maybee (nope, not a typo) you want to show us a screenshot or your issue may take us some time to investigate before getting back to you. Either way, Membee’s Help Desk ensures that no issue slips through the cracks until it is solved to your satisfaction. You can ask as many questions as you like and your complete support history is retained in Membee’s Help Desk for easy future reference by you.
This is Membee’s ever-growing knowledge base where we post the articles that help you get things done in Membee. These articles are part of the information that you see when you click on Help in Membee. The articles not only provide you with step by step instructions but include tips and tricks to help you extend your use of Membee and make sure you are getting the most out of your investment. Are you a visual learner? No worries, the bee is a bit of a movie nut and many of the articles in Help From the Hive include short videos showing the feature in action.
Sometimes you just need a little bit of focused, customized help and this is where booking a consultation session with us is an excellent investment. We will take the time to develop a customized training session based on what you need to know or be there to guide you through the implementation of one of Membee’s many features. This service is most often employed when a client organization loses a key staff member and they need to get a new person up-to-speed quickly. These sessions are offered on a first come first served basis.
For session topics, pricing, and how to order, see “One-On-One Consults” below.
Nobody wants to wait for answers so we hold ourselves to an industry leading level of service that strives to ensure that 95% of users are contacted within 2 business days from when they ask a question and at least 65% of those questions are also solved in a single response.

Each time you receive assistance from a member of Membee’s customer service team, you will receive an email within 48 hours containing a one question survey.

Membee’s professional grade Help desk powered by Zendesk (help system for Facebook, Twitter, Group On and many others) will route your feedback to senior Membee staff for follow-up with you.

In a nutshell, our enhancement philosophy is very simple and is driven by three key points: Make the software more relevant to users with each passing year of usage. Perfect features that help the largest group of users. Avoid anything that detracts from the first two objectives – clutter detracts from ease of use.
Everyone hates bugs in software and we are very serious about eliminating them. We have built mechanisms into our systems to help identify them, get them fixed and keep them from happening again. When one is discovered, we assess how nasty it is, prioritize it, fix it, test it, and update the Help From the Hive documentation if needed. We also document it in the Membee’s Release Notes so everyone knows it has been exterminated.
How does your organization update Membee? Simple – you just log in on Monday morning following an update and the new features are there! We apply fully tested updates to Membee early Sunday mornings to ensure those updates don’t happen in the middle of the working day for Membee’s international clients. Once the updates are applied to Membee, all you need to do is login to Membee and the new features are available. On average, updates to Membee happen every 4-5 weeks so that we have a set of enhancements that are not too big for users to review and put to work.
First, if you are considering implementing Membee to move your organization forward, you do not need to purchase consulting services for your staff or volunteers. Our Implementation Coordinators will hand curate articles from Membee’s massive “Help From the Hive” knowledge base to fit your specific needs.
We have friends who are software trainers/consultants and we like them, we just don’t want them working for us and we accomplish this by adhering to three principles:
If we despise the need for consulting so much, why does this page exist?
Remember the goal. Be a better, more effective organization. We offer one-on-one consulting sessions to accelerate knowing what is possible with Membee and going from “not doing” to “doing” by using our decades of experience to customize the approach to your unique circumstances.
