The Working Tools is a cloud-based system… but what on earth is the cloud?

09/02/2022

'The Cloud', in our case at least, refers to an internet-based system without a physical geographical location. The Working Tools is delivered on-demand from a range of servers, meaning its available when you need it.

The beauty of working in this way is that you can access your Lodge’s information anywhere and anytime. Need to look something up in the bar before the Festive Board? Easy, just login on your smartphone. You’ll have secure access to everything you need!

The other big advantage of ‘The Cloud’ is that because your Lodge’s data is not stored in one physical location - so disasters like fire or floods won’t destroy years of Lodge history (and you won’t have to re-do loads of admin!).

In terms of cloud services, you may have heard of others; Netflix, Google Drive, Dropbox, Yahoo Mail…. These are all examples of services that leverage cloud technology.

Over the past decade, more and more software tools have migrated to the cloud. In doing so, they are bringing a lot of amazing benefits to their clients. Which does bring you the question, can you use a cloud based masonic secretary software to support your Lodge or is it a good idea to keep it local? Here are some of the main benefits of a system like The Working Tools.

Fast deployment

One of the advantages of cloud based masonic secretary software is the fact that you can deploy the system very fast. You can be up and running with the system in a matter of minutes, and have it fully configured with your members and preferences in under an hour.

Support

Everything is in the cloud, so if there are any issues, they are solved fast. You can contact our Team by in-app instant messaging, email or even have a Zoom call with us. Our Team (all Master Masons) have built every aspect of the system, so are perfectly placed to assist.

Secure Masonic Software System

Automatic updates

Yes, our cloud based masonic secretary software comes with automatic updates. Unlike traditional, desktop based software, cloud-based software is updated automatically; no need to install updates, or even to purchase an newer, upgraded version periodically! Automatic updates mean the Working Tools team can quickly eliminate any software bugs, so you will find it all works flawlessly and without any problems. And it also helps save time too!

Data backup

Because of our cloud-based architecture, The Working Tools creates backups as often as every 5 minutes, meaning you can keep your data safe without the hassle of remembering to do so. There are multiple backups to the cloud data, so you never have to worry about any problems that might arise. It’s great because you get to focus on creating value for your Lodge, without worrying about mundane, repetitive tasks.

Access from anywhere

Thanks to the flexibility of cloud based solutions, you can use The Working Tools from anywhere; at home on your desktop, in a café on a laptop or tablet, or in a taxi on your mobile. Imagine recording payments or sending receipts from in the bar after your meeting!

Conclusion

At the end of the day, the cloud based masonic secretary software is one of the best solutions you can use if you want to manage your masonic lodge easily. Of course it does take a little bit to get used to the systems and features, but once you do, you will have no problem managing your masonic lodge the right way!
