Synagogue Batch Billing

Many of a synagogues invoices are done in batches, such as membership, dues, various appeals and dinners.

ShulCloud™ built easy to use web-bases batch billing software to quickly generate invoices for members based on membership database information.

Want to create a membership invoice for $750 for all full members? No problem.  Want to quickly enter in all the members who pledged $180 for the Shavous appeal? Sure! Want to quickly enter pledges for kibbudim? Not a problem.

ShulCloud™ gives you the tools to quickly batch invoice your membership with ease, while also providing the customizations required to give specific members discounts and overrides.

Synagogue Cemetery Management Software

Cemetery Management is unfortunately one of the features ShulCloud™ has to offer our Jewish congregations.  Many Synagogues manage one or more cemetery locations for their communities and members, thus keeping track of who owns which plots, if those plots are paid and occupied, is a crucial part of the day-to-day operations of the synagogue’s staff. 

ShulCloud’s Cemetery Management tools aim to make this process efficient and streamlined in order to focus more on the bereaving member and family, versus worrying about where to find a plot, how the member will pay for it and other logistical concerns over burials.

Synagogue Membership Database

ShulCloud™ is a complete and comprehensive Synagogue software application that resides on the web, in "the cloud." That means your whole membership database is stored securely on cloud servers, accessible via any web browser with internet access.

You no longer need to run software on your computer.  You no longer need to give members remote access to the software.  This software and your membership database is accessible from anywhere in the world where you have an Internet connection.

The membership database is designed specifically for a synagogue and their members. It supports basic profiles including member name, address, tribe, alyiah eligibility, family members (children, grandchildren, parents, etc), birthdays, yarzeits, schools and much much more.

Stop worrying if your data is secure and backed up - let us do the worrying for you!

Want a custom design? Not a problem! We can work closely with your shul's web committee to design a custom and branded web site using the ShulCloud platform exclusively for you.

Synagogue & Shul CRM Software

ShulCloud™ was built from the ground up by our team to be designed to have a single database, which controls all of the features of the site.

This single database makes it the most perfect synagogue CRM software.  

You can track members and contacts, their personal information, important dates, such as yartzeits, birthdays, anniversaries and more.  Each account can hold several members, all with their important member data. 

You can even "tag" members with unique attributes for creating specialized mailings, bills, calendar events, private web pages and so much more.

There is no web based software out there that has built their synagogue CRM application from the ground up.  We did, because we know how unique a shul's needs are.

ShulCloud's CRM and software was built from the ground up, looking at how a synagogue operates.  It is the most unique and specialized web synagogue software on the market.

This custom built email management software fully integrates with the membership database, billing software and schedule system.

The email system is flexible enough to email members based on many criteria, such as member type, ages, gender, billing status, and other demographic information.

Plus, since it was built with the overall system - all the data flows into the emails automatically, creating no need to manually enter or copy and paste text.

Finally, the emails are sent through the cloud servers, thus you do not need to pay for an extra email management package.

Simplify Shul Collections

Trouble collecting money from congregates? Let ShulCloud™ help.

Not only does ShulCloud™ help you better organize your invoicing but helps you increase your collections.

Through the use of the mass email system, you can quickly and effortlessly notify members who are late on payments.

The emails contain secure links to log the member into the payment system to give them a quick way to pay online.

Members can also see all past due invoices and pay them online.

Making it easier to give members information on how much they owe and a method of paying it immediately has lead to increase collections and revenues for synagogues. Plus, emailing them often about outstanding balances has never been so easy.

Yahrzeit Management Software

ShulCloud™ offers comprehensive Yahrzeit management tools to help you and your members remember the passing of family members.

The yahrzeit data can be managed by both the members themselves and your shul's staff and volunteers. The relationship of the deceased is structured so that if multiple members in your congregation observe the same yahrzeit, the software knows. For example, if there are two brothers in the shul who lost their father, that father record will be associated directly to both brother members without duplication.

Yahrzeits show on the members private calendar, as do birthdays and anniversaries.

Gabbaim have reports that inform them of upcoming yahrzeits in order to remind them to give the member an honor or kibbud in shul on shabbos.

Reminder mailings, both email and print, can be generated and mass mailed to members offering them an additional reminder of the important date. We call these lifecycle events and help you help your members stay on top of important dates and events.

Synagogue Member Login

Each member of your congregation within the ShulCloud™ system can login securely to the membership database to see their personal information.

Members have access to update their profiles, family members, email subscriptions, yartzeits, birthdays and much more.

Members who do not have a login will be able to register online by filling out a registration form.  The site administrators will be notified of the new registration and then be able to approve or reject the individual from gaining access to the system.

Forget your password, no problem - use the forgot your password link.

Want us to import your membership database for you? No problem, contact us for more information on that.

ShulCloud™ makes it easy for your membership to login, see their information and pay their bills or access the calendar and other features within the site.

Shalach Manot / Purim Basket Fundraiser Campaign Module Software

We know how important your fundraising activities are in your Synagogue. ShulCloud™ provides an easy to set up campaign management system that let's you configure your campaign based fundraisers and let your members easily participate.

Set up the rules for your campaign, such as a Purim Basket fundraising effort and email blast your members about it. Then let your members pick who they want the Purim Basket, Shavous flowers, etc to go to and collect money for each basket sent.

Not only is it a great way to keep track of your campaigns, you can easily raise money for the shul.

It is fully integrated with the member database and billing system. Members login, select who they want to send the gifts to, the price is calculated and billed to the member who can then pay online or pay later.

You can then download billing lists and gift lists to send out later.

For more information on this module, feel free to contact us.

Secure & Interactive Synagogue Member Directory

Throw away those paper membership lists.  Now you can search, browse and find the information of the congregants in your Synagogue through a secure and easy to use online member directory.

Members can define what information they want to share with other members in the shul.  They can share things like their name, address, email, phone and more - they can even upload pictures.  

The search tool lets you search by name as well as browse by the whole syangogue. 

The best part, it is secure and only available for members within the shul.  Plus, members can define what is available to other members and what is not.

Never forget a face again.

Synagogue School Software

Many Synagogues run Sunday or daily Hebrew schools.  Managing the school within a synagogue is like a second full time job.  ShulCloud™ has tools to help you manage the billing, classes, students, parents and daily operations of the school.

ShulCloud™ has designed a school module specifically around how Synagogues operate their schools.  The school module is not designed for any school but rather schools run by Synagogues.

ShulCloud's School Module enables student enrollment, streamlined school billing for deposits and ongoing tuition fees, student to class placement, teach to class placement and much more.

The adhoc school reporting engine gives administrators easy access to critical financial and student data on the fly.

Gabbaim Software

Is the Shul's Gabbaim overworked? Want to make their job easier? Then check out ShulCloud's Gabbai Software.

Integrated with the member's database, it knows which yarzeits are coming up, who has birthdays, even who didn't get an alyiah in a while.  Gabbaim can print out reports before Shabbos to have with them on Shabbos.

Additionally, it tracks who received which kibbudim and even who davened Mussaf, this way you can validate if Chazan Yankel actually does daven every shabbos despite what some members think. 

Finally, the Gabbaim can enter in the pledges made for kibbudim, including "matanah" and either create invoices on the fly or send invoices into the treasure's queue for approval and submission.

Synagogue Member Tax & Billing Statements

Financial & Executive Directors don't often look forward to sending out regular billing statements or end-of-year tax statements to their membership base.  But with ShulCloud™, sending out both statements is quick and painless.

1. Open balance statements, showing a member what they currently owe the synagogue as of a specific date.
2. Date range statements, showing all the activity within a specific date range.
3. Tax statements that show only tax deductible transactions on the statements.

The statements can be customized both in layout, style and form.  They can be emailed or physically mailed to the membership or anyone who has given money to the synagogue.

ShulCloud even handles partial tax deductible line items.

To learn more and see this in action, request a demo.

QuickBooks/Sage Sync

Are you using QuickBooks Online or Desktop for your Shul's accounting? 

You can sync ShulCloud™ and Quickbooks together. 

This will allow you to batch and transfer transactions into QuickBooks with our "One Button Sync."

This will reduce double entry work and data entry errors.

This sync must be customized for each organization since each has its own classes, items, or budget structure.

Setup of this sync is included with any Onboarding Purchase, or can be purchased separately for $500.

Synagogue Zmanim & Jewish Times Updated Dynamically

Wouldn't it be nice if you were able to display the local Jewish halachic times (zmanim) on your web site?  Wouldn't it be really nice if those times were based on your congregations location versus the city's centroid location?  Wouldn't it be nice if you could customize those zmanim based on the shul's customs?

ShulCloud™ can help!

The Zmanim widget is standard on all packages within ShulCloud™.  The times are based on the exact longitude and latitude of your synagogue's location and not based on the city's center.  The times can be customized based on your shul's customs and variations.

The zmanim widget does all the calculations via complex algorithms that determine most of the popular Jewish halachic times.  They include Alos Hashachar (Dawn), Earliest Tallis, Netz (Sunrise), Latest Shema, Zman Tefillah, Chatzos (Midday), Mincha Gedola, Mincha Ketana, Plag HaMincha, Shkiah (Sunset), Tzais Hakochovim, etc.

In addition, most of the calendar available in the standard or premium packages are based off the zmanim.

Finally, Zmanim specific to your community and congregation!
