This, no doubt, is an uphill battle that requires
hundreds of hours of time and effort that could be better focused elsewhere
in their ministries. “Reinventing the wheel” is never efficient business.
Meanwhile, other churches have chosen to spend thousands of dollars on
complicated, expensive software solutions with steep learning curves.
Unfortunately, these solutions can often hamper an organization’s overall
efficiency – not improve it.
In 1996, I felt led by God to create Helpmate in order to fill the
void that existed in the church management software industry for a well
supported, affordable, robust, flexible, and intuitive church management
software solution. At Helpmate, we are focused on providing software
solutions for today’s churches that are easy and fun-to-use – even for the
most novice computer users. Yet our
solutions are as powerful, flexible, and robust as any software package
you’ll find in the industry. It’s this balance between simplicity and power
that I believe separates us from the “pack”…and why more and more churches
every day are turning to Helpmate.
Although still a small company, by God’s
grace, we now serve nearly 2,000 churches across the United States
(in all 50 States) and in
20 countries…. and we pride ourselves on thinking big. The impact we’re
making to the church management software industry is significant. As a
result, we have a tremendous responsibility towards our clients and
prospects alike. We are serious about this responsibility that God has
given us. As such, our mission at Helpmate is to
develop a positive and lasting relationship with you - our client. We don't
want to simply sell you software; we want to grow with you as a business
partner. We are committed to your long-term success.
Our first priority - and measure of our
success - is your satisfaction. Although we’re by no means perfect, a
recent customer survey indicated that an incredible 97% of our clients would
recommend our church software products to other churches. What
is
even more important though is that 97% also said that their Helpmate
software has improved their organization's efficiency...with nearly half of
these saying that this efficiency improvement has been "significant".
That is what drives us here at Helpmate! I can assure you
that each employee at Helpmate considers his/her work here to be as much a
ministry as it is a way to make a living.
I hope that your search for a church
management software product will end with us, while ultimately formulating a
trusting relationship with a company that can provide you and your
organization with a product that not only meets, but exceeds, all of your
needs today – as well as in the future. I pray that your ministry is
successful in furthering God’s kingdom regardless of your choice in
management software.
Thanks again for your time and interest in
Helpmate. We look forward to the opportunity to serve you and your
organization for many years to come.
