MemberDay is an all-in-one platform designed to simplify club and group management for organizations of all sizes.

With a focus on simplicity, power, and cost-effectiveness, MemberDay helps clubs, associations, non-profits, and service organizations streamline their operations and enhance member engagement through both a dedicated member portal and optional public website builder.
The Challenge: Creating Professional Documents for Club Operations
As MemberDay’s client base expanded, they identified a critical need among their users—clubs and service organizations required professional, customized documents for their day-to-day operations. Club administrators, often volunteers with limited time and technical resources, struggled with creating three essential document types:
-
Member Directories: Clubs needed to produce and distribute comprehensive, up-to-date member directories with contact information, roles, and committee assignments.
-
Dues Invoices: Generating professional, branded invoices for membership dues was a time-consuming process that often resulted in delayed payments, awkward collection conversations, and tracking difficulties. The burden of manual billing was distracting club treasurers from more important leadership activities.
-
Event Planning Documents: Creating detailed event schedules with volunteer assignments, task lists, and resource allocations required significant manual effort, especially for club meetings and events with complex logistics.
The manual process of creating these documents typically involved exporting data to spreadsheets, copying into word processors, and spending hours on formatting—inefficient workflows that detracted from club leaders’ core mission of community service and member engagement. Additionally, during leadership transitions, scattered financial and member records often created confusion and operational delays.
The Solution: Integrated PDF Generation with DocuGenerate
After evaluating several document generation services, MemberDay selected DocuGenerate for its powerful templating capabilities, flexible API, and ease of integration. The implementation was completed within hours, allowing MemberDay to quickly enhance their platform with professional document generation features.
The integration focused on three types of documents:
-
Member Directories: MemberDay created customizable directory templates that could automatically populate with current member data, including contact information, photos, committee assignments, and leadership roles—all with club-specific branding and formatting.
-
Dues Invoices: The system now generates professional, branded invoices for membership dues with payment instructions, itemized charges, and personalized details—significantly streamlining the billing process for club treasurers. The solution supports bulk invoice generation, reusable billing profiles, and automatic tracking of invoice status, including whether invoices have been viewed by members.
- Event Planning Documents: Club leaders can now produce comprehensive event documents with volunteer assignments, schedules, resource allocations, and task checklists, making event coordination more efficient and reducing the risk of missed details. These documents automatically integrate with the attendance tracking features of MemberDay’s platform.
The integration with DocuGenerate’s API allowed all document generation to happen seamlessly within the MemberDay platform, eliminating the need for club administrators to use external tools or possess specialized design skills.
The Results: Enhanced Efficiency and Professionalism for Clubs
The addition of DocuGenerate’s document generation capabilities to the MemberDay platform has delivered significant benefits for both the company and its club clients:
-
Time Savings: Club administrators report saving 3-5 hours per month on administrative tasks related to document creation, particularly for dues billing and event planning.
-
Improved Dues Collection: Clubs using the automated invoice generation feature have seen, on average, a 30% reduction in late payments due to professional, clear invoicing with consistent follow-up. The system’s ability to track when invoices have been viewed helps treasurers know which ones need to be printed or resent.
-
More Complete Member Information: The streamlined directory generation has encouraged clubs to maintain more complete member records, enhancing communication and engagement.
-
Reduced Administrative Burden: By automating repetitive document tasks, club leaders can focus more time on mission-focused activities rather than paperwork.
-
Smoother Leadership Transitions: With all document templates and historical records centralized in one system, the handoff process between outgoing and incoming club leaders has become significantly more efficient.
