Membee: Over 30 Years in the Making!

Where It All Began

Membee is a wholly-owned subsidiary of  IRM-Systems, Inc., a privately-held database software development firm that specializes in serving associations, membership-based organizations, and other not-for-profits. Formed in 1991 with an intention to build membership management software, IRM Systems has steadily expanded over 30 years from a small start-up to an established software provider with over 500 client organizations and thousands of users worldwide.

Along Comes A Little Friend

With a culture of innovation and a reputation for never accepting that using technology needs to be “hard”, the company continued to push boundaries with the release of Membee in mid-2009, the new fully web-based version of IRM’s industry leading membership software platform. Harnessing the power of the Internet  was a risk at the time and it just seemed appropriate that a new symbol be found that represented the new product.

A global search and competition was held for a new look and that is where we first met our little bee. We took a liking to the little guy almost instantly because of what he (could be a “she” – we’re not sure) stood for – hardworking, smart, enterprising, and part of a greater community.

Looking To The Future

We could write volumes here but the short version is the merging battle ready mature technologies, along with some solid economics, and a adding in a sprinkle of cutting edge innovation like AI, the future is bright for membership-based. Never before have organizations with great need and the absence of great resources had the opportunity to truly put technology to work for their cause or profession.

The little bee is well positioned unlock this opportunity for our client organizations.

Established International Presence

Membee is an international company with a remarkably diverse client base. Client organizations are located in 48 U.S. states, all 10 Canadian provinces, Australia, New Zealand,  and in a handful of other countries worldwide. Our client support team provides technical support to organizations that span 11 time zones world-wide.

Focused On Associations & Member-Based Non-profits

At Membee, our focus is clear – building affordable, high-quality membership management software and related web services for small staff associations and other membership-based organizations. Ease-of-use is king. No matter how powerful a capability is, it will fail if it is hard to use or it is reliant on some’s memory. If you are a for profit enterprise and you employ the membership construct as your business model, Membee is likely a great fit for you too.

Industry Leading Support & Service

Membee has always been a leader in providing friendly, knowledgeable support services to users of our products located around the world. Great support begins with a product that is well thought out and easy to use. With a combination of easily accessible support services and a host of training options, Membee is committed to building long term relationships with each user of Membee software.
