Registering participants for an event using Pow wow is quick and easy. A core feature of the application is the ability to manage group registrations. When adding new participants to an existing registration all information is copied except for the Name and Participant Type. When accessing a participant in a group registration all other participants in that group are listed for quick review of the group registration or one click access to the other participant’s registrations.

Payments are linked to participants. A payment can also be made for a group of participants or an individual, even if a participant is in a group registration.

Our online registration system allows you to pre-register users for an event. Simply create a meeting with an open and close date for registrations and share the URL to your participant base. Pre-registration of participants significantly expedites the registration process, as they simply need to process any outstanding balance and provide no further information.

On-line payments be accessed through paypal or using the organizations own merchant account.

We have made the intricate part of tracking payments effortless. Our system allows for individual and group payments, partial payments, customizable payment types and refunds.

All payments are linked to participants, but that does not mean a payment has to be applied to one immediately. Participants can also be added to a payment after it has been made, should there be a positive balance in the payment. This allows for balances from group payments to be applied to additional participants both new or previously registered.

Another core feature in Pow wow is the ability to run multiple meetings. When a user logs in they can choose from a list of the current available meetings to set their active meeting. A user can also switch their active meeting from the user preferences section.

Historic meetings can be accessed at any time for record searches or Dynamic Management Reporting.

Pow wow provides several informative summary and analysis management reports. Our event reports present a high level and graphical view of registered participants, as well as detailed records summaries.

Use our quick charting tool to build your own graphical breakdown of your event.

When scheduling a communication record Pow wow allows the ability to choose a specific date and time to send the communication to participants. Any scheduled communication can be triggered to fire immediately using the send now option.

Our text messaging option comes with additional charges should you exceed 1000 message sent in a meeting.

Using QR code technology coupled with mobile devices our election component was developed to reduce wait times, simplify polling rounds and provide detailed and accurate reports on the results.
