Every year, it seems the number one New Year’s resolution is always to get back to the rec center and lose that weight you have wanted to lose all year.

Three Reasons to Track Attendance

Taking attendance matters. Here are three reasons why.

The Importance of Scheduling Software

If you have ever coached a child's athletic team, you have seen the behind the scenes issues that plague the world of recreational children's athletics. On paper, everything looks amazing!

Let the Games Begin

Baseball season is upon us! For anyone who has ever played, had children who played, coached, or managed youth baseball knows that this can be among the most strenuous times of the year, although it is also among the most fun.

Volunteering Ramps Up With Warm Weather

As the weather gets warmer and people start to break away from the dreary indoors, charitable organizations begin their fundraising efforts with walkathons, races, and golf outings, as well as many other outdoor volunteer opportunities.

Facility Management Facts

Managing facilities can be tricky, with so many variables in cost of rooms, different prices for different spaces and times, and the information you need to gather. Cogran can support you with powerful, flexible tools.

Improved League Scheduling

A streamlined interface for league scheduling makes it easier than ever to automate the schedules. We’ve also built in a new feature that allows you to view your list of active teams right in the scheduler—instead of in team maintenance—to verify that all of your teams are active before you run your schedules.

Under the Hood of Fundraising Data

Every nonprofit that relies on fundraising in order to create operational plans needs to stop getting hung up on the presentation of data and begin looking under the hood of the reporting that accompanies a well-planned fundraising event.

Camp is Over, But Not For Long!

Now that summer is over, kids are back at school, and the dust has settled from yet another busy online registration opportunities. Why? First off, because it improved conversions.

Get Your Forms Right

What's the right amount of information to glean from your users during registration? We have an unconventional answer.

Coupons, Promotions, and Discounts

Every registration-driven organization has unique, complex needs for managing promotions while also maximizing registrations and engagement. We excel at helping you find the right combination of options for your organization. First, Cogran Systems allows targeted promotions to fill a low-volume program or to kick things off for a registration season.

Managing Member Engagement

Building and sustaining rapport between the member and the organization have always been the result of effective engagement practices. Member engagement is more powerful than ever before because of the effect of technology on the cost of doing so.

Swim Seasons made Simple

Swim Programs have complex problems that Cogran Systems is well-suited for us!

After a household initially signs up, their basic information will auto-populate across every style of registration.

Event Registration Made Easy

Event management doesn't need to be a challenge. With our tools, you can make it work for you!
