Run a balloon decorators association of décor crews from one place: member firms, joining papers, annual fees, receipts, supplier circulars and meeting attendance, without a helium-shed WhatsApp group as your membership roll. Shed inventory stays in your books; Associan keeps the décor association organised.

Members are on installs. The association still tracks who paid in a notebook at the shed.
One body mixes jobs. Fees differ, but the register is flat. Party crews and corporate crews rarely share the same fee expectation.
Cash is collected when the truck returns. Matching the crew is guesswork. Teardown cash is easy to collect and hard to match to a firm name later.
Papers get lost under unused frames. Shed shelves bury GST folders under unused frames every season.
A helium or foil circular is forwarded until half the members still buy on old rates. Helium and foil rates move; old forwards keep circulating.
Attendance is a sheet while crews are still on site. Sunday installs collide with the only free slot for a monthly meet.
A member needs a partner crew and has to call around. Overflow cover is arranged by phone tree, not by directory search.
Crew association tools; helium inventory stays in your shed spreadsheet.
A firm applies with name, GST, city and category from the shed phone, so the committee is not rebuilding the same list every month.
The documents your committee asks for stay with the firm, so the committee is not rebuilding the same list every month.
Set separate fees for solo, crew and associate, so the committee is not rebuilding the same list every month.
Members pay online. Cash at the shed desk is recorded against the same member, so the committee is not rebuilding the same list every month.
Post a supplier or meeting note once. Members read it in the app, so the committee is not rebuilding the same list every month.
Members search other balloon decorators by city and category, so the committee is not rebuilding the same list every month.
On a quiet weekday the secretary clears due crews; payments after teardown still create clean receipts.
A party crew joins with size tags so solo artists and larger crews stay searchable.
Supplier foam and helium notes go on the board the morning they arrive, so Sunday crews are not guessing which rate still applies. Monthly meet: pass scans, unpaid filtered, supplier circular on the board. Supplier foam and helium notes go on the board the morning they arrive, so Sunday crews are not guessing which rate still applies.
Dues have a proper trail.
Directory by city.
One board.
Supplier posts from the week are still the correct version.
The same simple flow for every balloon decorator, set up for your association in about a day.
Post it in your group or on your letterhead. Each balloon decorator fills the form on their phone.
Firm details, GST and the documents your committee needs are uploaded with the application.
The committee approves and the fee is paid online, or recorded if paid by cash or cheque.
Membership number, PDF receipt, certificate and QR member pass are issued automatically.
AICR moved operator joining, fee collection, certificates and chapter-meet check-in onto one white-label app with its own name, logo and CIN on every PDF. Applications, document checks and payments that used to live in WhatsApp groups and spreadsheets now sit in one place the committee can see.
