1. Activity Messenger: Solving Key Challenges in Registration and Payment
Activity Messenger is a modern alternative to Regpack that offers not only registration, but also replaces tools like Mailchimp, SurveyMonkey, and Jotform.
Why Choose Activity Messenger?
Teams that need to manage a wide range of activities benefit the most from our software. Regpack’s narrow focus on single-sector registration is not ideal for most organizations. Activity Messenger, however, offers universal and customizable registration solutions, making it the right fit for dynamic organizations wanting growth and simplicity.
While Regpack can overwhelm users with its extensive features, Activity Messenger simplifies processes through automation. Our intuitive design combines registration, payment, and communication into a single platform to optimize user experience and increase operational efficiency.
Core Features That Drive Results
Automated Class Management That Saves 15+ Hours Weekly
Most sports and activity businesses spend too much time on manual tasks. Staff members waste hours updating class rosters, sending confirmation emails, and processing registration paperwork. This takes time away from what matters most: teaching and engaging with students.
Activity Messenger solves this problem with intelligent automation. The system automatically processes registrations, updates class rosters, and sends reminder emails. Digital waivers replace paper forms, and bulk messaging tools keep everyone informed without extra work.
Real-world impact: Users experience up to 40% reduction in manual data handling thanks to our automated processes, reducing time spent on administrative tasks by half.
All-In-One Communication That Keeps Everyone Connected
Sports organizations often struggle with fragmented communication. They use separate tools for emails (think Mailchimp), text messages, and documentation. This leads to missed messages and confusion from parents.
Activity Messenger brings all communication together in one place: you can send bulk texts, create professional-looking newsletters with Canva, and manage digital contracts from a single dashboard. No more switching between apps or losing important messages.
Our automated messaging is a built-in feature. It delivers timely notifications, reminders, and updates across all participant activities, so you can focus less on automations and more on the parts of running your business you actually enjoy.
Seamless Integration & Digital Management
We offer integration with various tools (Canva, Zoom, ChatGPT, etc.), minimizing the need for separate systems and creating an all-in-one experience. Our platform natively supports digital waivers, making it easy for users to manage contracts and permissions digitally, simplifying the admin work involved in participant onboarding.
Flexible Plans That Grow With Your Organization
Many registration systems force organizations into rigid plans that either offer too little or charge for features they don’t need. This results in wasted money or limited functionality that can hold you back.
Activity Messenger’s pricing lets you pay for what you actually need. You can upgrade or downgrade as your needs change, or start small with our software (for example, just SMS and email marketing) and migrate over time.
Cost advantage: Smaller organizations benefit from cost-effective pricing without compromising on features, with pricing that adapts to your growth.
