Assets & Membership Management Software

Robb Adamson

President at Matamata Brass Band

As part of a brass band and in fact any band there is always a lot of admin involved. When I first got involved with Matamata Brass, I took on the roll as instrument custodian, and carried on with the system from the previous member. The system that we used was Microsoft Access, it also handled our membership data base and if you have never used it before it can be a bit daunting. The uniform data base was taken care of by another member with an Excel spread sheet, and the music was taken care of by the librarian on One drive. When any one of these roles were taken over by someone else, getting access to that information can become a bit of a challenge and everyone had different ideas of how to do it. After searching for a system to take care of it all I came across Band Asset Manager. Band Asset Manager has been an absolute marvelous piece of software, that has enabled us to keep all our admin in one place i.e. member management, instrument inventory, uniform inventory, music inventory, document storage. The best part of this system is you can access it from any computer or smart phone, it doesn’t matter who has the job of looking after certain parts of the band, all they need is to be given access to one system and It is very user friendly. This was all made possible with funding from Pub Charity.

In 2019 our Band identified that records of our members and assets were pretty scratchy and could do with updating. Band Asset Manager has provided us with a comprehensive easy to use method to record membership history, instruments & uniforms issued, and to store our library and administrative documentation. BAM has proven to be the best tool we have purchased and continues to be developed with regular new enhancements.

BAM is a fantastic tool to hold and catalogue digital music libraries. It's easy to navigate and the search functions makes finding music very streamlined. The upload and download process of music is also very easy and accessible. I would recommend BAM over other cloud servers that that I have used which can be clunky and difficult to navigate.
