Panda Addressbook is a web application for managing a charitable organisations contacts. Managing of contacts can be sorting into groups, camps, accommodation, membership (along with society renewals), tracking of donations, mailing them, invoicing them and much much more….!
It keeps track of people, camp management and accommodation for you so you don’t have to.
The manager of CYC Waihola has been active in the development of this application for the past 15 years and it has been used exclusively for the management of camps, enrolments, society administration, accommodation bookings and newsletter mailouts for the past 10 years by CYC Waihola. It is a one stop software package for all New Zealand kids camps and charitable organisations.
