WordPress-based AMS Integration
Backend Member / Memberships View 
Member Search 
Membership Term Edit If you use an AMS, Tecture can integrate with it to push / pull authoritative data into your website via a sync process. If a full AMS is overkill or cost prohibitive, Tecture has developed a way to incorporate AMS features directly into WordPress. Track memberships, perform auto renewals, perform a renewal email journey, provide membership reports, and more. Best of all, all of your data can be centrally managed, reducing the hassle of building data synchronization.
-
Member Dashboards
Use your association’s data to create a robust, personalized membership dashboard that can guide your members through your programs. From renewal reminders to ID cards to LMS course recommendations and more, the dashboard can be the member’s starting point for self-service, and a great opportunity to push relevant and timeline association messages or advertising.

Membership Directories
Customizable Twig Template 
Filterable Member Directory Tecture can help you join membership status with user profiles to present a dynamic and interactive membership directory. Let your members control what kinds of information are visible, and allow members to connect with one another. Directories can serve many other purposes: mentoring programs, certified users, or other recognitions can be similarly displayed.

User Profiles
Custom User Profiles The goal of an association is to support its members on their professional journeys or in their professional endeavors, so it is key that the profile fields and selections be aligned with their objectives. Use modern webcam image capture, leverage user profile freshness alerts to request profile updates, and manage fields and selection options.
Membership Renewal Journey
Your AMS may have email renewal reminders, but a renewal strategy is more than just sending a few emails. Different strategies can highlight different benefits and programs to different member types based on their career path and profile. Tecture can help you build a dynamic program, bringing user profile data into your email marketing system, performing audience segmentation, and building business rules and dynamic content based on specific renewal situations.
Programs With Workflows
Your association likely operates a number of programs beyond membership. There may be awards, grants, scholarships, fellowships, donations, committees, juries, and more. Tecture breaks these down into manageable, configurable chunks, and builds simple workflows to collect data from users, process it, and allow your staff to manage it through workflow inboxes and steps. Say goodbye to many data processing tasks.
Certifications & Credentialing
Tecture can help you build an integrated certification program, including fees, applications, approval workflows, exams, surveys, renewal processes, ID cards, and automated data sharing – all part of a streamlined process without the need to write custom code or manually process data – and without leaving your website.
SSO Integration
Leverage industry-standard SSO to provide secure access both to the website and any other connected 3rd party platforms. Allow your members to access all of your resources from a single login, reducing login fatigue and IT support costs, while increasing security and centralizing control. Offers the ability to enable multi-factor authentication and login via social account, if desired.
Ecommerce Systems with Member Discounts
Set membership rates for products individually or based on their categorization, and apply rates based on different types of memberships and levels.
Communities
Tecture can integrate with an existing community platform such as Higher Logic, or can migrate your Higher Logic database into BuddyBoss (a popular WordPress community plugin).
Learning
Whether you use a 3rd party LMS or want to bring your LMS into WordPress (the LearnDash LMS is a good choice), Tecture can help build a catalog, set up your courses, link to product / subscription purchasing, assign credits and credit types, and add a transcript. Your WordPress site is a one-stop shop for member learning without the need to jump around between website, ecommerce system, and separate LMS.
Content and Data Filtering / Visibility and Access Control
Easily control access to your content by using a taxonomy coupled with access control rules. Rules can be established for different types of membership or activity types to personalize a member’s experience and align it with their career path.
