"APICS Cincinnati - StarChapter Redesign"

4/5

What do you like best about StarChapter?

StarChapter, specifically Dana Ingle and team, did a fantastic job at rolling out the new M2 design template. At first it wasn't approved, due to potentially not meeting APICS/ASCM branding guidelines, but after a follow up with APICS Partner Services Manager (Leann Goettel) deemed it approved, then we got to work right away.

Things I like the best are:

- Modern look

- Hamburger button

- In Admin section, "Dashboard Snapshot" section is nice for quick summary of chapter health Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about StarChapter?

Things that are least helpful are:

- StarChapter not supporting Internet Explorer

- Not being able to embed job board on website (i.e. not being able to have LinkedIn default search for Supply Chain Jobs in Cincinnati)

- Email Manager is not intuitive and seems very difficult to send out mass emails; should be as simple as sending out mass emails to distribution groups (i.e. Outlook, Gmail, etc)

- Survey Manager is not intuitive - it's much easier to use Survey Monkey and send out a link unfortunately Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is StarChapter solving and how is that benefiting you?

Some benefits that I've realized are:

- Meeting Manager serving as platform to collect payments and for Members to sign up for events

- Setting up "Auto Reply" email, to New Members that get automatic email from VP of Membership, rather than manually looking up members and emailing them one-by-one (was done in the past, which was not efficient with time) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
