cohesion.
one platform that runs your association — not fourteen spreadsheets and a whatsapp group. members, disciplines, instruction, volunteers, equipment. GDPR and audit log built in — not bolted on.
why this exists
it is not the spreadsheet.
it is not the whatsapp group.
it is an association that keeps running.
the problem
gdpr, internal discipline, federation rules, financial accountability. who decided what, and when? the answer is in a meeting note nobody can find — if it was ever written down.
the symptom
ten spreadsheets. three group chats. one secretary who keeps it all in his head and steps down next year. one gdpr request from a member and the panic sets in.
what cohesion does
members, planning, equipment and communication in one system. every decision in a tamper-evident audit log. continuity sits in the platform — not in one person.
members.
modular.
audit log.
a foundation, a set of building blocks, and a log that holds up in court. turn on what your association needs — nothing more.
members + GDPR
not a separate module — the foundation. roles, membership, contact records with version history. field-level encryption on sensitive data. members handle their own gdpr access.
- · roles · membership · version history
- · field-level encryption on federation id, date of birth, medical info
- · self-service: access, correction, deletion
modular per association
turn on what you need, nothing more. activities, instruction, volunteers, equipment, facilities, competitions, finance — only the pieces your association actually runs.
- · activity and instruction scheduling with fair-distribution algorithm
- · volunteer rosters — auto or self sign-up
- · equipment, facilities, competitions, treasury
an audit log that holds up
for discipline cases, inspections, legal evidence. every write logged, sha-256 hash chain, tamper-evident after the fact. exportable when you need it.
- · every write with actor and timestamp
- · sha-256 hash chain — tamper-evident
- · export for audits, federation reporting, statutory registers
four kinds of associations
this clicks with.
sports associations
federation sync (knsa, knvb, knltb, …), participation tracking, court and equipment management. from shooting clubs to tennis to bowling.
homeowner associations (VvE)
meetings, votes, minutes you can actually find. decisions with date and signature, not lost in email.
community and student associations
members, volunteers, treasury — without scattering across six apps and three treasurers.
music and culture ensembles
rehearsal planning, instrument tracking, dues. who plays what, who borrowed which case.
