Excellerate
What it is
Excellerate is church management software for member information, attendance, giving, groups, and visitor follow-up. It keeps member and family records with customizable profile details, visits, meetings, attendance, and small-group involvement. Visitor tools assign follow-up, capture results and feedback, and report on retention and assimilation. Groups and classes support attendance, online leader reporting, and growth analysis. Contribution features include tithe and pledge tracking, check scanning, imports from online giving services, statements, and reporting. Check-in can use barcodes, touchscreens, or attendants for child pickup, events, youth, and volunteers. ServePoint provides online volunteer scheduling, reminders, conflict notifications, and resource sharing. Users can customize fields, tabs, picklists, views, and reports, with support available for report creation. Atom cloud access supports simultaneous users on computers, tablets, and phones, with automatic backups. Desktop church management and check-in products are Windows-only and can run without internet access; check-in can also work at remote locations without a network. Cloud software is listed for PCs, Macs, iPads, iPhones, Android devices, and Linux.
