For small scale industries associations

Software for Small Scale Industries Associations

Run a small scale industries association of MSME units from one place: member firms across sectors, membership types, fees, receipts, circulars and meeting attendance, without one Excel sheet for every industry under the roof.

The problem

One association, many trades. One sheet cannot hold them

An SSI or MSME body mixes engineering, plastics, textiles and services. The secretary still keeps one list that loses who does what.

Sector lost in the list

A unit is “engineering” or “plastics” in conversation, but the register has only a firm name.

Micro, small, associate

Bye-laws have classes. Billing treats everyone the same until someone complains.

Fees after the order season

Units pay when cash arrives. Receipts are typed in a batch the treasurer hates.

Scheme circulars buried

A government or bank scheme note is forwarded until members ask for it again.

General body without a pack

Paid, unpaid and attendance are three files reconstructed in the hall.

No picture for the committee

Who has paid, who never opens notices: the president asks, and the answer is a guess.

How Associan helps

Many sectors, one membership file the committee can use

Each card is a feature that is live in Associan today.

Joining form for SSI units

A firm applies with name, GST, city, sector category and contact from a phone at the unit.

Sector tags that stick

Tag units by business category so the directory and filters match how the body actually talks.

Fees by membership class

Set separate fees for micro, small and associate members.

A link the unit can pay

UPI or card. Cash at the office is recorded against the same firm.

Scheme notes on one board

Post a circular once. Members read it in the app.

A sitting pack from an export

Paid, unpaid and attendance export to Excel for the committee note.

A month with Associan

How the honorary secretary prepares a sitting

A week before the general body, the secretary exports unpaid dues and emails units that are due. Units that pay online get a receipt immediately. Cash still collected at the desk is entered the same day.

A new plastics unit applies with GST and picks a sector category. The committee reviews it before the sitting. The directory now shows the unit under the right trade.

At the hall, a volunteer scans passes. The sitting pack includes attendance and dues from one place, not three spreadsheets.

Where Small Scale Industries associations use it

  • New MSME onboarding. Firm, GST and sector category in one form.
  • Class-wise fees. Micro, small and associate types.
  • Sector directory. Find units by category and city.
  • Scheme circulars. One notice board for government notes.
  • General body meeting. RSVP, QR check-in, attendance export.
  • Committee reports. Paid and unpaid lists in Excel.
What changes

What a multi-sector body needs

Sectors you can filter

Categories match how members introduce themselves.

Fees that match the class

Micro and associate are not billed the same by accident.

Circulars that stay put

One current scheme note.

A sitting that starts on the agenda

Exports replace reconstructing dues in the hall.

Case study · National operator association

How All India Car Rentals runs its association on Associan

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.
