An HBASmart Module · Coming Soon

Membership management, built for HBAs.

MemberBase is under construction. It will let your Home Builders Association run applications, dues, renewals and member status inside the same branded app your members already use, and keep access to every HBASmart module current automatically.

What is MemberBase?

The member record behind every module.

MemberBase is the membership management module coming to HBASmart. It gives an HBA the core functions it uses an association management system for, built specifically for Home Builders Associations and placed inside the same branded app members already use.

MemberBase becomes your HBA's system of record for membership. Active status updates from payments, renewals and lapse rules, and it controls access to MemberBuild, MemberBid and member-only discussion groups, so staff stop maintaining member lists in two places.

01
Applicant to active member

Online applications, staff approval and payment, then module access right away.

02
Renewals that run themselves

Renewal reminders by push notification and email, with grace periods and lapse rules your HBA sets.

03
One source of truth

Every HBASmart module reads the same member status, so access is always current.

Built for HBAs

Designed around how HBAs actually work.

General association software treats these as add-ons or custom configuration. For a Home Builders Association they're part of normal operations, so MemberBase is being designed around them from the start.

  • Company-based membership, with a primary contact and additional people who share member access.
  • Builder and associate member types, often with different dues and different MemberBid permissions.
  • Trades and specialties that drive the directory, MemberBid project alerts and message targeting.
  • Committees and councils, with their own rosters and private discussion groups.
  • Dues shared with state and national associations, with reporting on what's owed to each level.
  • CE history from MemberBuild shown on each member's profile.
Common Questions

Questions about
MemberBase

While MemberBase is in development, MemberBuild is available now and MemberBid is in early access.

MemberBase is the membership management module coming to HBASmart, the branded app platform ParadeSmart builds for Home Builders Associations. It is designed to let an HBA run day-to-day membership inside its own app: applications, dues, renewals, the member directory and member communication. MemberBase becomes the member record that controls access to MemberBuild, MemberBid and other member-only features.
MemberBase is in development now, and parts of it, including member and company records, membership status and member import, are already built. HBAs usually switch membership systems at the start of a renewal cycle, so launch timing for each association will line up with its renewal date. Request a demo to hear the latest timing and to be considered as a pilot HBA.
MemberBase is designed to cover the membership work an HBA does every week, including applications, dues, renewals, active status, the member directory and member communication, so many associations won't need a separate membership tool. It is intentionally focused rather than a copy of every feature in a general AMS, and features such as education, community and the mobile app are already covered by HBASmart.
Yes. MemberBase includes a member import designed around GrowthZone-style exports and spreadsheets. Staff preview the file before applying it, records are matched by email, invalid rows are held for review, and nothing is deleted. The same import lets HBAs that don't use MemberBase keep active status current for MemberBuild and MemberBid.
No. Any HBASmart module can run without MemberBase by importing the HBA's member list, including active status. MemberBase removes that step by managing status directly from payments, renewals and lapse rules, so access across every module updates automatically.
