Always Improving Technology for Members
|
|
PATH Intl. is developing a new database to enhance the member's user experience. The PATH Intl. website links directly to a customer relationship management (CRM) system, which is the technology used to manage member relationships and interactions. Currently this database is where members manage their contact information, make purchases from the store and the tool that links those records to online directories seen on the website such as find a center and the member directory.
The new system which is slated to launch fall 2018 will offer a friendlier user interface, and downloadable purchases will be super easy to access. The member's profile page will even be customizable. Center member online renewal will also be streamlined and easier to complete.
More details will come as the launch date gets closer. Watch for more information soon!
