Some details
ARB has nearly 33,000 registered architects, so it is far from simple to process and manage their annual membership fees. The objective was to provide a modern online payment system, which would automate operations, save staff time, and increase the accuracy of financial data.
It was determined that a standalone online shop solution would not work in the IT environment of ARB due to the need for compatibility with
existing databases, applications and procedures. The new application would also need to be secure.Geeks developed a custom .NET solution by integrating payment gateway RBS Worldpay, existing ARB databases, purpose-built web services, Microsoft Active Directory and dynamic PDF generation components.
This site is a major advance for ARB.
It streamlines complex processes, utilising automation to free up staff for less laborious tasks, creates a better cashflow and allows reporting of financial data in ways that were not possible previously.
This is a step-change in financial software for the Architects Registration Board.
