FAQ

Questions, answered

Can we have both company and individual member types?

Yes. Company and individual members are configured separately - each with their own application form, fee structure, and approval flow - so both fit cleanly in one system.

Does JoinNests support multi-stage committee approvals?

It does. Build an approval pipeline with as many stages as your council needs and assign each to the right reviewer. Every decision is logged and searchable.

How does renewal tracking work?

Renewal reminders fire automatically ahead of expiry. Member companies renew and upload payment proof themselves, and their status updates without manual chasing.

Can we migrate our existing member database?

Yes. Import your existing member companies and individuals from Excel in minutes - no manual re-typing, no lost records.

Is there a free trial?

Every plan starts with a free 7-day trial and is priced in MYR. You can be set up in under a day with no developer.

Your council runs better when the admin runs itself.
