Chambers
One member app for every chamber of commerce, built so a volunteer committee with no developer can run the whole thing.
The challenge
A chamber of commerce is run by a volunteer committee at night. Members, dues, events and comms usually mean four disconnected tools and a treasurer chasing bank transfers by hand. Off-the-shelf association software assumes staff and a budget a small chamber does not have.
What we built
Chambers is one app for every chamber, themed per chamber, carrying members, events, comms and dues in one place. A volunteer treasurer adds a member and the direct-debit dues are collected on schedule with no developer in the loop. One setting re-themes the whole app for a different chamber.
Built for the volunteer committee
The design target is not an association with paid staff. It is a committee member doing the chamber's admin after their day job. Everything the app automates is a task that person used to do by hand.
A volunteer treasurer adds a member and the dues are collected automatically.
How we worked
Chambers is deliberately multi-tenant from the ground up: one codebase, one app on each store, themed per chamber. A real chamber runs on it today as a full reference tenant, set up and verified end to end.
What it adds up to
Live on the App Store and Google Play as a single app that themes itself per chamber.
A real chamber runs on it as a full reference tenant, with members and events loaded and officer sign-in verified.
Direct-debit dues are wired in, so a committee collects money without a developer or a spreadsheet.
