TidyConnect — Chapter Management Software
They keep their tools. You get the full picture.
TidyConnect is the federation layer built on TidyHQ. It gives your parent body real-time visibility across every chapter, branch, and affiliate — without forcing a single one to change systems.
No setup required. No chapter migration. See your network live.
Every federation hits the same wall.
HQ can't see what's happening across chapters
Your chapters send quarterly reports — some on time, some never. You make board-level decisions based on data that is months old, incomplete, or both.
Manual reporting consuming 20+ staff hours a month
Someone at HQ spends a week every quarter collating spreadsheets from chapters into a consolidated report. The numbers never quite match.
Every chapter uses something different
One chapter uses TidyHQ, another uses a spreadsheet, a third uses nothing. There is no single source of truth for membership numbers, finances, or compliance — and no way to get one without forcing everyone onto the same system.
Autonomy and oversight feel like a forced choice
Chapters want financial independence — their own bank account, their own Stripe. HQ wants visibility. Current tools force you to pick one. TidyConnect gives you both.
How TidyConnect works.
Three layers. Zero forced migration. Full visibility.
Your chapters use TidyHQ
Each chapter, branch, or affiliate manages their own memberships, events, finances, and communications. They keep their own bank account and payment gateway. They run independently.
TidyConnect links them
Your parent body connects all chapters through TidyConnect. No forced migration. Chapters on TidyHQ connect instantly. Others adopt at their own pace. The network grows as more chapters join.
You see everything
Real-time dashboard with membership counts, compliance status, financial summaries, and event activity across every connected chapter. Generate board reports from live data in minutes.
TidyConnect sits above your chapters, not instead of them.
Each chapter runs their own TidyHQ instance. TidyConnect federates the data upward — real-time membership numbers, compliance status, financial summaries — without anyone re-entering anything.

See every chapter's health without asking
Membership counts, financial status, compliance completion, and event activity for every chapter — updated live, not quarterly. The board gets current data. You stop chasing spreadsheets.

Know which chapters are compliant before the board asks
Create compliance tasks — insurance certificates, constitution uploads, committee elections — and assign them to chapters with deadlines. See who has completed what, and who needs a nudge.

Chapters keep full control of their operations
Each chapter manages their own members, events, finances, and communications. They keep their own bank account and payment gateway. You see the aggregated data without touching their day-to-day.

Board reports from live data, built in minutes
Total members across the network. Revenue by chapter. Compliance status at a glance. Generate board-ready reports from real-time data instead of collating spreadsheets from 40 different chapters.

No forced migration — connect what already exists
Chapters already on TidyHQ connect instantly. Chapters on spreadsheets or other tools migrate at their own pace, or not at all. TidyConnect works with partial adoption — your visibility grows as each chapter joins.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about chapter management with TidyConnect.
Chapter management software helps parent organisations — federations, peak bodies, national associations — manage and coordinate their network of chapters, branches, affiliates, or sub-branches. It provides HQ with visibility into membership, compliance, finances, and activity across the network without requiring each chapter to give up their operational independence.
Federated membership management means each chapter maintains its own member database and operational autonomy, while the parent body gets aggregated visibility across the network. Unlike centralised systems that force all data through HQ, a federated model respects chapter independence while giving the governing body the oversight it needs.
No. Chapters already on TidyHQ connect to TidyConnect instantly. Chapters using other tools or spreadsheets can migrate at their own pace — or not at all. TidyConnect works with partial adoption. You get visibility into connected chapters immediately and can grow the network over time.
Enterprise AMS platforms like Aptify and Fonteva are centralised systems designed for large organisations with dedicated IT teams and six-figure budgets. TidyConnect is a federated platform — each chapter has autonomy, setup takes days instead of months, and pricing starts at a fraction of enterprise costs. For very large organisations with complex custom requirements and in-house IT, an enterprise AMS may be the right fit. For everyone else, TidyConnect delivers the core capability at a fraction of the cost.
Yes. Each chapter connects their own Stripe account. Member payments, event revenue, and dues go directly to the chapter. HQ sees the financial data without handling the money. This gives chapters financial independence while giving the parent body the visibility it needs.
TidyHQ is free for chapters with under 20 members. Pro plans start from $49/month per chapter with flat pricing — no per-member fees. TidyConnect for the parent body is priced based on the number of connected chapters. Contact our team for a quote.
Everything stays in TidyHQ. When a chapter president or secretary changes, the new person inherits a working system with all member records, financial history, meeting minutes, and compliance documents. No USB drives, no lost files, no starting from scratch.
No. TidyHQ uses flat pricing per chapter. Whether a chapter has 20 members or 2,000, the price stays the same. This is different from competitors that charge per-contact fees that grow as your network grows.
